Sjögren’s syndrome: still not fully understood disease

TL;DR: The problems faced by the clinician wishing to securely identify primary Sjogren's syndrome by using accurate laboratory biomarkers and useful imaging tools are drawn attention and the development of complications associated with this, still not fully understood, autoimmune disease is predicted.

Minor salivary gland biopsy in Sjögren's syndrome: a review and introduction of a new tool to ease the procedure

TL;DR: The suggested approach for lip MSGB includes a specifically designed instrument whose performance during lip biopsy may contribute to minimize post-operative complications.

Imaging of connective tissue diseases: Beyond visceral organ imaging?

TL;DR: Both the qualitative and quantitative nailfold capillaroscopic (NVC) assessments in SSc patients affected by the Raynaud's phenomenon may assist in making a differential diagnosis between primary and secondary RP, and microcirculatory imaging by NVC seems useful in the prediction of complications and prognosis in CTDs and in monitoring therapeutic trials.

Quantitative assessment of oral mucosa and labial minor salivary glands in patients with Sjögren's syndrome using swept source OCT.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional imaging of the mucosa of the lower lip and labial minor salivary glands is demonstrated in vivo using swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system at 1310 nm with modified interface.

Classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome: a revised version of the European criteria proposed by the American-European Consensus Group

TL;DR: These classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome have been re-examined by consensus group members, who have introduced some modifications, more clearly defined the rules for classifying patients with primary or secondary SS, and provided more precise exclusion criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Labial salivary gland biopsy in Sjögren's disease

TL;DR: The labial biopsy is shown to be a further valuable investigative procedure in patients with Sjögren's disease and was used to study 40 patients with connective tissue disease and 60 postmortem subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sjögren's syndrome. Proposed criteria for classification

TL;DR: The clinical and laboratory features of patients referred for evaluation of sicca symptoms are reviewed, and the need for care in choosing the site for minor salivary gland biopsy is emphasized, and histologic features that aid in the evaluation of these biopsy specimens are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Labial salivary gland biopsy in sjögren's syndrome

TL;DR: The salivary component of SS should be redefined as the presence of LSG focal sialadenitis, an objective criterion and a more disease-specific feature of SS than xerostomia or any other feature of Salivary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lymphoid organisation in labial salivary gland biopsies is a possible predictor for the development of malignant lymphoma in primary Sjögren's syndrome

TL;DR: The detection of GC-like structures by light microscopy in pSS diagnostic salivary biopsies is proposed as a highly predictive and easy-to-obtain marker for NHL development, which allows for risk stratification of patients and the possibility to initiate preventive B-cell-directed therapy.
