BACKGROUND: Sjögren's Disease (SjD) is histopathologically characterized by focal sialadenitis in minor labial salivary gland biopsies (mLSGB), which is evaluated by utilizing the focus score (FS). Focus score ≥1 identification is a critical step of ...
Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder affecting exocrine glands, causing dry eyes and mouth and other morbidities. Polypharmacy or a history of radiation to the head and neck can also lead to dry mouth. Sjogren's disease is often underdiagnosed...
Diabetic nephropathy is a serious complication of diabetes, and primary Sjögren's syndrome is a disease that poses a major threat to women's health. Therefore, studying these two diseases is of practical significance. In the field of spectral analysi...
BACKGROUND: Childhood Sjögren's disease is a rare, underdiagnosed, and poorly-understood condition. By integrating machine learning models on a paediatric cohort in the USA, we aimed to develop a novel system (the Florida Scoring System) for stratify...

PURPOSE: This study addressed the challenge of detecting and classifying the severity of ductopenia in parotid glands, a structural abnormality characterized by a reduced number of salivary ducts, previously shown to be associated with salivary gland...
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence has showed a bidirectional link between periodontitis (PD) and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), but the mechanisms of their occurrence remain unclear. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the shared diagnostic gen...
BACKGROUND: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocyte infiltration of the exocrine glands. Interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) are often upregulated in patients with pSS, and anti-SSA/Ro 60 a...
BACKGROUND: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) share overlapping genetic and immunological profiles. This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy of machine learning algorithms, with a focus on the Random Forest Clas...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the value of a deep learning (DL) model based on greyscale ultrasound (US) images for precise assessment and accurate diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).
