Parotid sialography has been used for many years as a means of assessing salivary glands
in Sjogren's syndrome (SS), and it is occasionally used as a diagnostic criterion for the …

Objective. Despite the availability of many new imaging procedures, sialography has, after
decades of use, maintained its status as the imaging procedure of choice for evaluating the …

Background: Analysis of salivary variables has frequently been proposed as a diagnostic
tool for Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Because univocal salivary reference values are lacking, it …

In order to evaluate their sensitivity and specificity, parotid sialography (PS) and labial
salivary gland biopsy were performed in 150 putative patients with Sjögren's syndrome …

BACKGROUND The common occurrence of xerostomia in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) as well
as the easy accessibility of saliva supports the use of sialometry and sialochemistry in the …

The diagnostic value of sialography, scintigraphy, sialometry, and labial salivary gland
biopsy—as indicators of salivary gland dysfunction in Sjögren's syndrome (SS)—was …

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is defined by the presence of at least two out of three clinical
features: keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), xerostomia and another connective tissue disease …

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by lymphocytic
infiltration, and consequently hypofunction of lacrimal and salivary glands. The loss of …

Objectives Our aim was to evaluate the association between salivary gland scintigraphy and
the clinical parameters, including histological characteristics of salivary glands, in patients …

Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) is a chronic, multisystem. autoimmune disorder. It is characterized
by (1) generalized exocrine gland dysfunction,(2) serologic abnormalities, and (3) organ …
