6. Clinical and Experimental Studies in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Sammanfattning : Autoimmune mechanisms and genetic susceptibility contribute to the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren’s syndrome and SLE. These chronic systemic autoimmune diseases have many serological and clinical features in common and have an impact on daily life. LÄS MER
7. Immunopathogenic mechanisms in primary Sjögren’s syndrome
Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren’s syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting salivary and lacrimal glands, but patients may also have other organ involvement. Development of Sjögren’s syndrome has been associated with genetic polymorphisms and aberrances in innate and adaptive immunity, which include abnormal B cell functions with autoantibody production, and increased activity of the interferon (IFN) system.

8. Living and Dying with Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Studies on Aetiology, Treatment, Lymphoma, Survival and Predictors
Sammanfattning : This work was aimed at improving our understanding of the course of primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). The Malmö SS patient register and the 2002 American-European Consensus Criteria formed the basis of all studies. Helicobacter pylori (H. LÄS MER
9. The relationship between inflammation and structural changes in the airways of the lower and upper respiratory tract : Studies in patients with asthma, Sjögren's syndrome, rhinitis and children with otitis media with effusion
Sammanfattning : The pathophysiology of asthma, Sjögrens syndrome (SS), rhinitis, and otitis media with effusion (OME) in children has been extensively investigated in upper and lower respiratory tract, respectively, and shown to comprise structural changes in the airways and involvement of inflammatory cells. By comparing diseases that have bronchial hyperresponsivenses or mucosal inflammation as a common denominator, it may be possible to learn more about the mechanisms underlying inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tract.

10. Renal disease in primary Sjögren's syndrome
Sammanfattning : Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is characterised by inflammation in the lacrimal and salivary glands. The kidneys may be involved, e.g. tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) and distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). LÄS MER
