The word lupus (Latin term for the wolf) is mentioned for the first time circa 850AD. Originally, the term was used to describe lesions that were said to resemble wolves’ bite. Early historical documents have suggested that the term lupus was used indistinctively during the middle-age and the Renaissance for many types of diseases characterized by ulcerous lesions, especially in the lower limbs. In 1230, Rolando of Parma distinguishes ‘noli me tangere’ (lesions located on the face) from lupula when the lesions are on the limbs. Four centuries later, there is still a great deal of confusion with Sennert, Culpeper & Cole who mentioned (1661) that ‘[…] cancer can be divided into 3 species: into the cancer, […] the noli me tangere […] and lupus or the wolf if it is in the shins, ankle-bones and thighs’.
The true turning point in the history of lupus occurred in London in the beginning of the 19th century when Robert Willan and his student Bateman published the first atlases of skin diseases (1786–1817), containing the first known representation of a patient with lupus (figure 1)

Lupus, aka "Wolf" in Latin, has a history that predates the beginning of the Roman Empire

SUMMARY
Hippocrates (460–375 BC) was the first to describe cutaneous ulcers under the heading of herpes esthiomenos. From what we can tell, Herbernus of Tours was the first to apply the term lupus to a skin disease in 916 AD. Following this, a number of terms including lupus, noli me tangere, and herpes esthiomenos were used to describe cutaneous ulcers. Willan (1757–1812) expanded the classification of skin diseases using the term herpes for vesicular diseases and lupus for destructive and ulcerative diseases of the face. The first clear description of lupus erythematosus was by Biett and was reported by his student Cazenave under the term erythema centrifugum in 1833. In 1846 Hebra, under the name of Seborrhea Congestiva described disc-shaped patches and introduced the butterfly simile for the malar rash. In 1851 Cazenave renamed erythema centrifugum, calling it lupus erythematosus and gave a classic description of discoid lupus erythematosus.
In 1872 Kaposi subdivided lupus into the discoid and systemic forms and introduced the concept of systemic disease with a potentially fatal outcome. Hutchinson alluded to the photosensitive nature of the rash and may have provided the earliest description of what is now called annular subacute cutaneous lupus. In 1894 Payne used quinine in the treatment of patients with LE and postulated the presence of a vascular disturbance. In 1902, Sequira and Balean published a large series of patients with discoid and systemic LE and provided clinical and pathologic details of a young woman who died of glomerulonephritis. In 1904, Jadassohn published an exhaustive review of discoid and systemic LE, including clinical features and pathologic findings.
Between 1895 and 1904 Sir William Osler published 29 cases of what was termed the erythema group of diseases. Perhaps his major contribution was to show that skin diseases could be accompanied by a variety of systemic manifestations. In retrospect most of his patients suffered from diseases other than SLE and it was only in his 1904 paper that two cases with SLE were described. He did not acknowledge this diagnosis in his cases and we share the viewpoint that his contribution to the study of SLE has been overemphasized.

Netizens Alerted: Bakit Nga Ba Nasa Isang Gusali ang OVP at POGO? By: Nutribun Republic
Nagpahayag ng pag-aalala ang mga netizens matapos malaman na ang Office of the Vice President (OVP) ay nasa parehong gusali ng mga Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO). Ayon sa isang dating empleyado ng isang BPO na matatagpuan sa Robinsons Cybergate Plaza sa EDSA, Mandaluyong, tila nagbago ang itsura ng gusali mula nang umalis siya noong 2020 dahil sa pandemya.
Ang nasabing gusali, na dati ay pinamumugaran ng mga BPO companies, ay ngayon puno na ng mga POGO. Nakapagtataka rin na ang OVP, na unang nag-renta ng espasyo sa gusali, ay tila walang pagtutol sa pagpasok ng mga POGO na ngayon ay umaabot sa 80-90% ng buong gusali. Isa sa mga nag-post sa social media ang nagsabi, "HAHAHA ka building namin pogo at ovp HAAHAHA," na nagpapakita ng pagkabigla at pagkabahala.
Bakit Nasa POGO-Ridden Building ang OVP?
Sa mga nakaraang taon, ang mga opisina ng OVP ay nasa QC Reception House (Leni Robredo), Coconut Palace (Jejomar Binay), PNB Building (Noli De Castro), at PICC (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo). Subalit ngayon, bakit nga ba pinili ng kasalukuyang Bise Presidente ang isang gusali na pinamumugaran ng mga POGO?
Ayon sa ilang netizens, malinaw na ang gusali ngayon ay nagmistulang pugad ng mga Chinese nationals na nagtatrabaho sa POGO. Isa sa mga nag-post sa Twitter ang nagsabi na nagtataka siya kung bakit pinayagan ng OVP na makasama sa iisang gusali ang mga POGO. Isa pang nagbahagi ng kanyang karanasan ay kinumpirma na mayroong air-conditioned na canteen na eksklusibo lamang para sa mga Chinese, habang ang mga Pilipinong empleyado ng POGO ay hindi pinapapasok dito. Sa halip, kinakailangan nilang kumain sa mga kainan sa labas ng gusali.
Ayon kay @zenocturnal, "I can confirm this. My husband works in that building (BPO), and he mentioned to me a few days ago that there are POGOs operating there. These people have even set up an area outside the building as a cafeteria exclusively for them. And these Chinese are literally everywhere."
Panganib sa Seguridad
May mga alalahanin na ang pagkakaroon ng POGO sa parehong gusali ng OVP ay maaaring magdulot ng panganib sa seguridad ng bansa. Posible umanong may mga Chinese nationals na nagpapanggap lamang bilang mga POGO workers ngunit may koneksyon sa Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Ayon sa mga usap-usapan, maaaring ma-tap o ma-intercept ang mga komunikasyon ng OVP na nasa parehong palapag lang ng mga POGO.
Isang netizen ang nagkwento na madalas niyang makita ang mga Chinese sa loob ng gusali at may mga eksklusibong kainan para sa kanila. May mga nag-komento pa na tila lumalabas na nagkaroon ng lihim na pagpupulong sa pagitan ng mga opisyal ng OVP at mga Chinese officials na nagpapanggap lamang bilang POGO workers. Ang mga isyung ito ay matagal nang tinatalakay sa Senado at Kongreso ngunit tila walang aksyon na nagaganap.
Dagdag pa ni @dismalreps, "Meron dun sa gilid na 1 floor enclosed space, walang signage sa labas so di malaman kung ano, yun pala chinese cafeteria, makikita mo lang through front door pag naka open."
Ayon sa isang Reddit user, "This is trueeee mapapansin nyo nakatape mga camera phone ng Chinese which is a sign na POGO ang nandun and hatid sundo sila ng mga van dun. Bawal nga Pinoy pumasok sa kainan nila kahit ang ibang staff Pinoy."
Panawagan ng Mga Netizens
Umapela ang mga netizens sa mga mambabatas na imbestigahan ang sitwasyong ito at malaman kung bakit pinahintulutan ng OVP na magsama ang kanilang opisina at mga POGO sa iisang gusali. Ang sitwasyong ito ay nagdudulot ng takot at pag-aalala sa mga Pilipino na baka may nagaganap na lihim na kasunduan o pagbibigay ng impormasyon sa mga banyagang entidad.
Sa social media, isang user ang nagtanong kung bakit sa Mandaluyong pa napiling ilagay ang OVP kasama ang mga POGO. Isa pang netizen ang nagpahayag na dapat itong ipaalam sa mga awtoridad.
Ayon kay @MandMLan, "This is true. Lagi akong dumadaan sa likod ng cybergate from edsa going to pioneer, maraming Chinese dun nakakalat at may restaurants dun sa pagitan ng dating robs forum at go hotel. Pinayagan ito ng mga Gokongwei. While ang mga Ayala pinaalis na nila ang POGOs sa Circuit Makati."
May isang Reddit user din na nagsabi, "Nope, it's not an OVP Satellite Office. It is the actual OVP as indicated in the official OVP website," bilang tugon sa nag-aakalang satellite office lamang ito.
Patuloy na umaasa ang mga Pilipino na mabibigyang-linaw ang isyung ito at magawan ng nararapat na aksyon upang mapanatili ang seguridad at integridad ng opisina ng Pangalawang Pangulo ng Pilipinas.
