Superior mesenteric artery syndrome and intra-abdominal compartment syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many studies in adult patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have demonstrated that myocardial dysfunction was significantly associated with enhanced disease activity. However, similar studies in paediatric patients with SLE are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of speckle tra...
