   Sammanfattning : A balanced tear film is essential for a healthy ocular surface. Insufficient tear production may result in dry eye, a common disorder in the elderly population. Dry eye causes significant discomfort in the patients and may lead to visual impairment and ocular infections. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background: Despite advances in the management of facial paralysis and its associated sequelae, therapies targeting the lower facial region remain underdeveloped. This thesis aimed to improve both the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for facial paralysis, with a focus on the lower face. LÄS MER

7. 5. Genetics of systemic autoimmunity and comorbidities

   Författare :Guðný Ella Thorlacius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Sjögren‘s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that typically affects the salivary and lacrimal glands leading to dry eyes and dry mouth, but the patients may also have systemic involvement. Most patients with SS carry autoantibodies, most often to the Ro (SSA) and La (SSB) proteins. LÄS MER
