There is a long-lasting need for non-invasive, more accurate diagnostic techniques when evaluating primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients. Incorporation of additional diagnostics involving screening disease-specific biomarkers in biological fluid promising concept that requires further investigation. In the current study we aimed to explore novel disease saliva and tears from pSS patients.Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was performed on stimulated whole 27 patients 32...
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by reduced lacrimal and salivary secretion. Sicca symptoms together with fatigue musculoskeletal pain can significantly reduce the patients' quality of life. Furthermore, low secretion may disrupt oral microbial homeostasis. The aim this study was to compare microbiota from pSS patients sicca not fulfilling classification criteria for (non-SS), healthy controls without complaints.Pellets centrifuged chewing-stimulated...
Chemosensory function, burning sensations in the tongue (BST), halitosis, saliva secretion, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) were investigated patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). In 31 pSS 33 controls, olfactory gustatory functions evaluated. Self-reported complaints dysgeusia, BST, halitosis recorded. Saliva secretion rates measured OHRQoL was assessed using short-form Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Patients had significantly lower (8.8 ± 3.5 vs. 10.7 1.2)...
A comprehensive evaluation of oral and ocular symptoms findings in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients may provide valuable information for management. Medical history was obtained from female pSS patients, sex- age-matched non-SS with sicca (non-SS controls) as well healthy subjects without complaints (healthy controls). Oral (Summated Xerostomia Inventory, SXI) (McMonnies Dry Eye questionnaire, MDEIS, Ocular Surface Disease Index, OSDI) subjective were recorded. Objective including...
