Xerostomia complaint is very commonly associated to radioactive iodine therapy. Alternatives to treat this morbidity can offer better quality of life to patients with thyroid cancer submitted to adjuvant iodine therapy.
OBJECTIVE
to report on the experience with pilocarpine on the treatment of
Patients with chronic open angle glaucoma are traditionally managed by medical therapy during the early stages of the disease. Pilocarpine is a well established topical agent, but suffers troublesome sequelae, the most apparent of which is pupillary constriction. This study assesses the effect of
Conventionnal therapy (moisturizers, pilocarpine, Cevimeline, local Cyclosporine, and hydroxychloroquine) remains the basis for the treatment of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) but they do not modify the course of the disease. Rituximab is currently the most fully evaluated biologics in pSS.
OBJECTIVE
To compare long-term variability (LTV) in short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP) with that of standard white-on-white (W-W) perimetry, in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and normal subjects and to determine its clinical significance.
METHODS
The sample comprised 30
A simple isolation of the prostate enabled quantitative collection of prostatic secretion in dogs over periods of months. The secretory stimulant was pilocarpine and 2 similar amounts injected with a 6 hour interval gave smaller amounts at the second testing, suggesting a fatigue effect. The
Mesolimbic dopamine (DA) is a critical component of the brain circuitry regulating behavioral activation and effort-related processes. Although nucleus accumbens (NAc) DA depletions or antagonism leave aspects of appetite and primary food motivation intact, rats with impaired DA transmission
A precise definition of primary Sjögren's syndrome resting on 'revised' or 'international' criteria has been accepted by most experts. This is important because the symptoms of primary Sjögren's syndrome, namely, dryness, fatigue, and pain, are common in the population at large and can occur in the
Sjögren syndrome (SS), the second most common autoimmune rheumatic disease, refers to keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia resulting from immune lymphocytes that infiltrate the lacrimal and salivary glands. However, differential diagnosis remains confusing due to the high prevalence of vague
BACKGROUND
Primary Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by sicca features and systemic manifestations, and requires a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach.
METHODS
Treatment of sicca manifestations is symptomatic and is based on the administration of topical
BACKGROUND
A variety of topical and systemic drugs are available to treat primary Sjögren syndrome, although no evidence-based therapeutic guidelines are currently available.
OBJECTIVE
To summarize evidence on primary Sjögren syndrome drug therapy from randomized controlled trials.
METHODS
We
To evaluate current evidence on the efficacy and safety of topical and systemic medications in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) to inform European League Against Rheumatism treatment recommendations.The MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases The therapeutic management of Sjögren syndrome (SjS) has not changed substantially in recent decades: treatment decisions remain challenging in clinical practice, without a specific therapeutic target beyond the relief of symptoms as the most important goal. In view of this scenario, the European
