Utility of ANA in hospitalized patients with headache and suspected systemic autoimmune disease
Abstract Objective This study evaluates antinuclear antibody (ANA) test performance in identifying rheumatologic conditions as the source of the headache. Background ANA testing is widely used to screen for autoimmune diseases in patients with headaches, but its diagnostic utility remains unclear. Methods In this retrospective analytic, cross‐sectional

Evolving treatments for Sjögren disease: current approaches and emerging targets
Abstract Sjögren disease (SjD) is a prevalent systemic autoimmune condition characterised by exocrine gland dysfunction, systemic inflammation and heterogeneous organ involvement. Current management remains largely symptomatic, with no approved disease‐modifying therapies available and substantial unmet clinical need. However, advances in understanding

Repeated Unstimulated Whole Saliva Collection: A Reliable Approach to Improve Diagnostic Accuracy
Sixty‐two healthy participants provided unstimulated whole saliva by passive drooling for 5 min, three times daily for three consecutive days (nine samples). Single measurements showed high intra‐subject variability and limited reproducibility. Averaging repeated, standardised collections improved reliability and may enhance diagnostic accuracy ...

The Expression and Potential Role of MicroRNAs in Oral Lichen Planus
ABSTRACT Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic T‐cell‐mediated immune disease of unknown aetiology. MicroRNA (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNAs capable of regulating mRNA and may have roles in T‐cell‐related diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of miRNAs in OLP patients and its interaction with potential target ...

Autoimmunity and Periodontitis
In a microbe‐driven inflammatory environment, peptidyl‐arginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes from neutrophils and Porphyromonas gingivalis citrullinate both microbial and self‐antigens. B cell presentation of citrullinated or self‐mimicking epitopes activates T cells that assist B cells in antibody isotype switching, affinity maturation, epitope spreading ...
