The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical application of advanced ophthalmic imaging devices such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), retinal function imager (RFI), slit-lamp biomicroscopy (SLB), PERG in diseased eyes and normal controls. There are two phases in this study. The first phase is an observational phase …
Knowledge of the pathogenesis of ocular conditions, a leading cause of blindness, has benefited greatly from recent advances in ophthalmic imaging. However, current clinical imaging systems are limited in resolution, speed, or access to certain structures of the eye. The use of a high-resolution imaging system improves the resolution of …
CoRDS, or the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford, is based at Sanford Research in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It provides researchers with a centralized, international patient registry for all rare diseases. This program allows patients and researchers to connect as easily as possible to help advance treatments and cures …
Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a chronic, immune-mediated, systemic inflammatory disease characterized mainly by involvement of the salivary and lacrimal glands, causing symptoms of sicca syndrome. The disease predominantly affects women (9:1 to 20:1), with a peak incidence between 40 and 60 years of age. Symptoms of dryness include those resulting …
Unexplained fatigue is a frequent (60-70%) chronic complaint in Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) with a clear unmet therapeutic need, despite the recommendation of adapted physical activity (APA) programs, which are effective and feasible, but only to some extent. Hence, other therapeutic approaches, such as Acupuncture (ACU) or transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation …
Sjögren's syndrome is a complex autoimmune disorder. The investigators hypothesize that striated ductal cells may function as non-professional antigen-presenting cells in Sjögren's syndrome. However, there are currently no established methods to assess the functional status of striated ductal cells or their relationship with clinical presentations. To address this knowledge gap, …
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to symptoms of dryness. Assessing the inflammatory activity is crucial for guiding treatment. Fibroblast activation protein (FAPI) PET is an emerging imaging technique increasingly used for evaluating various inflammations and tumors. Thus this prospective …
Evaluations will be made by researchers following the guidance of individuals with primary Sjögren's Syndrome who receive diagnosis, routine medical care, and treatment management. In addition, for the reliability of the Turkish Eating Assessment Tool-10, the Turkish Eating Assessment Tool-10 will be repeated on patients at least one-fifth of the …
Background Sjogren disease is an autoimmune disease - that is, a disease that causes the body's immune system to attack its own organs and tissues. Sjogren disease can affect the kidneys, lungs, or other organs. It can also cause dry mouth and eyes, fever, joint pain, rashes, and other symptoms. …
By analyzing the differential proteins in exosomes, this study aims to understand the pathological mechanisms of SJS and DES, identify potential diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and advance the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
