Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are chronic autoimmune diseases that result from the combined influence of genetic and environmental factors that promotes the loss of tolerance to cellular components. The complexity of these diseases converts them into a major challenge at the diagnostic and treatment level. Therefore, it is convenient to implement the use of tools for a better understanding of the physiopathology of these diseases to propose reliable biomarkers. The "omics" disciplines like metabolomics and lipidomics allow to study RA and SLE in a higher degree of detail since they evaluate the metabolites and metabolic pathways involved in disease pathogenesis. This review has compiled the information of metabolomics and lipidomics studies where samples obtained from RA and SLE patients were evaluated to find the metabolites and pathways differences between patients and healthy controls. In both diseases, there is a decrease in several amino acids and oxidative stress-related metabolites like glutathione. These findings may be useful for functional metabolomics studies aiming to reprogram the metabolism in a disease setting to recover normal immune cell homeostasis and function.

Abstract
Genomic incorporation of viruses as human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are components of our genome that possibly originated by incorporating ancestral of exogenous viruses. Their roles in the evolution of the human genome, gene expression, and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases (ADs) and neoplastic phenomena are the subject of intense research. This review analyzes the evolutionary and virological aspects of HERVs and other viruses that incorporate their genome into the human genome and have known role in the genesis of ADs. These insights are helpful to understand further the possible role in autoimmunity genesis of HERVs, other ancestral viruses no HERVs and modern viruses with the ability to incorporate into the human genome or interact with HERVs.

Abstract
Objective Autoimmune diseases generate an impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients and are a burden for the health system through hospital admissions and readmissions. The prevalence of readmission of patients with these diseases has not yet been described as a group, but rather as sub-phenotype. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of hospital readmissions in a Colombian population with autoimmunity and the factors related to readmission. Methods All patients with autoimmune diseases who were evaluated by the rheumatology service and hospitalized between August 2018 and December 2019 at the Fundación Hospital Infantil Universitario De San José de Bogotá were described. A bivariate analysis was done, and three multivariate logistic regression models were built with the dependent variable being readmission. Results Of the total 199 admissions, 131 patients were evaluated and 32% were readmitted. The most frequent sub-phenotype in both groups (readmission and no readmission) was SLE (51% and 59%). The most frequent cause of hospitalization and readmission was disease activity (68.7% and 64.3%). History of hypertension was associated with readmission (adjusted OR: 2.98-95% CI: 1.15-7.72). In a second model adjusted for confounding variables, no factor was associated. In a third model analyzing the history of kidney disease and previous use of immunosuppressants (adjusted for confounding variables), the previous use of immunosuppressants was related to readmission (OR: 2.78-95% CI 1.12-6.89). Conclusion Up to a third of patients with autoimmunity were readmitted and arterial hypertension was an associated factor. This suggested a greater systemic compromise and accumulated damage in patients who have these two conditions that may favor readmission. A history of immunosuppressant use may play a role in readmission, possibly by increasing the risk of developing infections.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases share common immunopathogenic mechanisms (i.e., the autoimmune tautology), which explain the clinical similarities among them as well as their familial clustering. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an autoimmune peripheral neuropathy, has been recently associated with Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. Based on a series of cases, this review article provides a comparative analysis of GBS associated with ZIKV infection, contrasted with the general characteristics of GBS in light of the autoimmune tautology, including gender differences in prevalence, subphenotypes, polyautoimmunity, familial autoimmunity, age at onset, pathophysiology, ecology, genetics, ancestry, and treatment.

Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are often diagnosed according to classification criteria; however, they share similar subphenotypes including signs and symptoms, non-specific autoantibodies and other immune changes, which are prone to taxonomic problems. Polyautoimmunity is defined as the presence of more than one AD in a single patient. The close relationship between antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus has been studied throughout the years. However, APS may coexist with several other ADs confirming polyautoimmunity in this systemic disease. Herein, we summarized the common characteristics shared between APS and others ADs in light of the autoimmune tautology (that is, common mechanisms of autoimmune diseases).
