Altered hippocampal functional connectivity in primary Sjögren syndrome: a resting-state fMRI study.

abstract：:Cardiac involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is well documented. The pericardium, myocardium and endocardium, as well as the coronary arteries, the valves and the conduction system can all be affected. While pericarditis is common, arrythmias are less frequently described.We present a 13-year-old male, wh...
