1. Women with Primary Sjögren´s Syndrome Assessment and Treatment A Physiotherapeutic Perspective
Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren´s syndrome (primary SS) is a systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltrations in the exocrine glands leading to classic dryness complaints such as dry eyes and dry mouth. Non-exocrine complaints also occur, e.g. fatigue, myalgia and arthralgia, as well as disturbed mood. LÄS MER
2. Primary Sjögren´s Syndrome. Clinical Studies with reference to Hormonal Status, Psychiatric Symptoms and Well-Being
Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. The disease primarily involves salivary and lacrimal glands which results in oral and ocular dryness (sicca symptoms). A wide spectrum of extraglandular features from various organs may be seen.

3. Mechanisms of Interferon-α Induction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Sammanfattning : Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have an activated type I interferon (IFN) system with an ongoing IFN-α synthesis. This may be caused by circulating immune complexes, consisting of anti-DNA antibodies (Abs) and DNA, with IFN-α inducing capacity. LÄS MER
4. Molecular characterization of the Ro52 autoantigen and its disease related epitopes
Sammanfattning : The presence of high titers of autoantibodies in patient sera is characteristic for the autoimmune disorder Sjögren s syndrome. The major targets for these autoantibodies are three intracellular proteins Ro52, Ro60 and La. It is still unclear why these proteins become targets for the immune system, and how this autoreactivity is triggered. LÄS MER
5. Immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin subclass-distributions and serologic markers in some renal and systemic disorders
Sammanfattning : In this study we evaluated pathogenetic factors and possible mediators of renal and systemic disorders where immunologic mechanisms might be of importance.An abberant immunoglobulin and IgG-subclass distribution was detected in 103 patients with primary and secondary glomerulonephritis as well as in 38 patients with the systemic disease primary Sjögren 's syndrome or purpura hypergammaglobulinemica (elevated IgG1 and low IgG2 ).
