Extractions: elcome to the Lupus Foundation of Illinois. Whether you are a long time or newly diagnosed lupus patient, or the family member or friend of a patient, this website will provide you with information and resources that will help you better understand and manage lupus. Lupus, a serious and chronic autoimmune disease, is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage, incurable, and at times life threatening. Current statistics indicate that lupus affects adult women approximately 10 times more frequently than men. Even though lupus is more prevalent in this country than AIDS, sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined , it is the least known of all major diseases. Our goal with this website is to increase lupus awareness, and to improve the quality of life of those affected by lupus through education, community outreach services, and support of research leading to better treatment and an eventual cure. Join the Lupus Foundation of Illinois via our secure website and receive a complimentary orange loop awareness pin. See Membership details.

SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the body's own immune system is directed against the body's own tissues. The etiology of SLE is not known. It can occur at all ages, but is more common in young women. The production of autoantibodies leads to immune complex formation. The immune complex deposition in many tissues leads to the manifestations of the disease. Immune complexes can be deposited in glomeruli, skin, lungs, synovium, mesothelium, and other places. Many SLE patients develop renal complications. The presence of autoantibodies can usually be determined by the antinuclear antibody (ANA) test performed on patient serum from blood. The titer, or strength, of the ANA gives a rough indication of the severity of the disease. Not all positive ANA tests indicate autoimmune disease, particularly when the titer is low. After a positive screening ANA test, more specific tests for SLE include detection of autoantibodies to double stranded DNA and to Smith antigen. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test with homogenous pattern, Hep2 cell substrate, FITC immunofluorescence.

Extractions: Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies directed againt "self." These antibodies, called "auto-antibodies," react with the "self" antigens to form immune complexes. The immune complexes build up in the tissues and can cause inflammation, injury to tissues, and pain. For most people, lupus is a mild disease affecting only a few organs. For others, it may cause serious and even life-threatening problems. More than 16,000 Americans develop lupus each year. It is estimated that 500,000 to 1.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with lupus. For information about the Lupus Foundation of NH

Extractions: Väritys vaihtelee mustasta harmaan kautta valkoiseen. Aikuisilla yksilöillä saattaa olla tummempaa karvaa etuselässä, hartioissa, hännän kärjessä ja Fennoskandian susilla etujalkojen etupuolella pitkittäisjuovina. Selän karvat ovat muita karvoja pitemmät: muilla noin 11 cm, tundrasusilla 11-13 cm. Sivun alkuun Susi tulee sukukypsäksi 22 kuukauden ikäisenä, mutta lisääntyvät yleensä vasta paljon myöhemmin. Laumassa ainostaan johtajapari lisääntyy, vaikka kaikki sukukypsät naaraat tulevatkin kiimaan. Johtajapari estää muita naaraita lisääntymästä häiritsemällä niitä fyysisesti. Laumaan syntyy pentue joka vuosi. Kiima-aika on helmikuusta huhtikuuhun ja naaras ja uros parittelevat useita kertoja. Synnytys tapahtuu touko-kesäkuussa. Pesänä voi olla, luola tai maahan kaivettu käytävä (vanhat ketunkolot kelpaavat emon suurennettua niitä). Pesä saattaa sijaita myös tiheän pensaan suojassa. Emo synnyttää 5-6 sokeaa ja kuuroa pentua. Pennut ovat pienikorvaisia, pyöreäpäisiä ja tylppäkuonoisia. Ne eivät reagoi aluksi kuin emon lämpöön. Noin kahden viikon kuluttua silmät aukeavat ja kolmen viikon kuluttua ne alkavat kuulla, liikkua ja reagoida ulkoisiin ärsykkeisiin. Niistä tulee hyvin aktiivisia ja leikkisiä. 4-7 vkon välinen aika on tärkein vaihe pentujen elämässä, sillä silloin syntyvät ensimmäiset sosiaaliset suhteet. 6 kk:n ikäisenä pennut kykenevät syömään kiinteää ravintoa ja aikuiset alkavat ruokkia niitä. Aikuiset syövät lihan saaliin tappopaikalla ja oksentavat sen pennuille pesällä. Pennut nuolevat ja näykkivät aikuisen huulia ja tämä saa aikaan oksentamisreaktion.

Extractions: When I was eight years old my mom noticed that I had two little bumps on my cheeks. My mom thought they were just mosquito bites. Only one went away and the other one on my right cheek did not go away. My mom took me to see the doctor. The doctor gave me some ointment to put on my face, but it still didn't go away. My mom took me back about two months later to my doctor. My doctor then sent me to a Dermatologist.
