Dietary supplementation with LP (HF.A00232) provided no additional benefit when used with regular levocetirizine in treating AR in the initial 8 weeks of our study, but there was a continuing decrease in PRQLQ scores, as well as a significant improvement in individual symptoms of sneezing, itchy nose, and swollen eyes, after discontinuing regular levocetirizine treatment.

SLE patients had a significantly lower rate of thyroid diseases and hyperthyroidism than matched controls. Among SLE patients, risks of hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis were different in the presence of overlap syndrome. This finding is novel and important for clinical practices.

SLE patients had significantly higher rate of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and AITD than the matched control. Among lupus patients, the risks of thyroid diseases are even higher in the presence of overlap syndrome. SLE patients with thyroid diseases had higher risk of renal and CNS involvement.
