A deep-learning artificial intelligence model trained on salivary gland biopsy images shows potential for classifying focus scores and Sjögren disease.

Salivary glands are located beneath your tongue and over your jawbone near your ear. Their purpose is to secrete saliva into your mouth to begin the digestive process (while making it easier to ...

Background Disappointing outcomes in Sjögren’s disease (SjD) trials underscore the need for reliable, sensitive endpoints.

Treatment involves excision of the mucocele with associated minor salivary glands to decrease the chance for recurrence. Occasionally, mucoceles will rupture spontaneously and heal without surgical ...

Salivary gland biopsy appears to be a diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease, a new study suggests. A biopsy of the submandibular gland that shows the presence of the abnormal protein alpha-synuclein ...

FORT WORTH, Texas — Although salivary gland ultrasonography is not a reliable diagnostic predictor of Sjögren’s syndrome in all cases, it is more predictive among advanced or severe cases of the ...

Also, there are several hundred minor salivary glands throughout the mouth and throat. Saliva drains into the mouth through small tubes called ducts. Your salivary glands make saliva, which is ...

Investigators of a recently published study found invariant natural killer T cells ex vivo in peripheral blood from patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome, but not in their salivary glands, and ...

Submandibular gland biopsy can be used to identify α-synuclein (αSyn) aggregates, potentially offering not only a simple means of histologically confirming Parkinson's disease (PD) but also a marker ...
