Valvular heart disease is the common cardiac manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with a tendency for mitral valve regurgitation. In this study we report a case of mitral valve replacement for mitral stenosis caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis in the setting of SLE. In addition, we provide a systematic review of the literature on mitral valve surgery in the presence of Libman-Sa...

This paper gives an explicit argument to show strong boundedness for Sp2n(R) R a ring of S-algebraic integers or semi-local thereby giving quantitative version the abstract result in [15]. The results presented further generalize older regarding by Kedra, Libman and Martin [6] Morris [9] from SLn Sp2n. also completely solve question asymptotic case with that immediately generalizes all other sp...

We propose an approach to solving two-dimensional linear and nonlinear boundary-value problems of statics for shallow shells based on the generalized method finite integral transformations Newton– Kantorovich–Raphson linearization. In case, application is reduced construction two with respect different variables in analyzed domain under assumption that kernels one transformation are transforms ...

valvular heart disease is a considerable finding in the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (aps). the involvement of the mitral and aortic valves is more common in the form of leaflet thickening or aseptic verrucous vegetations called the libman-sacks endocarditis. in addition to the detrimental effects of endocarditis on the valves, it can lead to serious thromboembolic complications. here we ...

Case report of a 38-year-old female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who presented an acute arterial thromboembolic event in the right lower limb. Investigation showed the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and sterile vegetation in the mitral valve, Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE). Possible causes of thromboembolic events in SLE are discussed, with emphasis on current recom...
