Introduction

Abstract

This issue (Issue 1, 2026) presents a collection of academic articles on rheumatology and autoimmune diseases. The journal aims to disseminate scientific knowledge, clinical experiences, and research findings that contribute to improving patient care and advancing medical education in this field.

This issue includes an original research article examining COVID-19 vaccination rates, post-vaccination adverse effects, and perspectives among patients with rheumatic diseases in a university-based teaching hospital in Thailand. In addition, a literature review on uveitis-associated rheumatic diseases for non-ophthalmologists provides practical insights for physicians caring for these patients. The issue also features an interesting case report describing calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease associated with long-term proton pump inhibitor use and hypomagnesemia.

The editorial board hopes that the articles in this issue will be beneficial to clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with rheumatic diseases.
