Di Ying Joanna Ngo William Murray Thomson

Front Oral Health 2021 2;2:767568. Epub 2021 Nov 2.

Department of Oral Sciences, University of Otago Dental School, Dunedin, New Zealand.

This paper aims to provide an update on research findings on the lived experience of dry mouth in Sjögren's Syndrome (SS) patients. Dry mouth is a significant condition that impacts on the daily lives of people with SS. There will first be a summary of the definition, etiology, and manifestation of dry mouth in SS patients. There will next be an overview of the measurement of the impact of dry mouth on the quality of life in SS patients. This will include a deliberation of both quantitative and qualitative methods. Lastly, there will be discussion on the consequences of dry mouth, with a focus on qualitative studies that seek to understand patients' physical, emotional, and social domains of life.

Effects of an integrated supportive program on xerostomia and saliva characteristics in patients with head and neck cancer radiated with a low dose to the major salivary glands: a randomized controlled trial.

Authors:
Nan Jiang Yue Zhao Malin Stensson Jan Mårtensson

BMC Oral Health 2022 May 23;22(1):199. Epub 2022 May 23.

School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University, Box 1026, 551 11, Jönköping, Sweden.

Background: Xerostomia and changes in saliva characteristics are common side-effects in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing radiotherapy, which negatively impact their oral health. However, there are no consensus standards for intervention to manage these problems. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of an integrated supportive program on xerostomia and saliva characteristics at a 1-year follow-up of patients with HNC radiated with a low dose to the major salivary glands.

Eltrombopag improves refractory thrombocytopenia in patients with Sjögren's syndrome.

Authors:
Liping Xu Yan Zhang Na Lin Xinwei Song Qiaoding Dai

Sci Prog 2022 Apr-Jun;105(2):368504221102786

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, 74723The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.

Introduction: Eltrombopag, a kind of thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist, plays the role on the megakaryocyte to activate the platelet production and rapidly increase the number of circulating platelets in patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Eltrombopag provides an opportunity for rapid tapering and/or cessation of corticosteroid therapy. However, it is not clear about the platelet response to Eltrombopag in ITP associated with Sjögren's Syndrome(SS). Read More

Sarah Prinsloo David I Rosenthal Mary Kay Garcia Zhiqiang Meng Lorenzo Cohen

Integr Cancer Ther 2022 Jan-Dec;21:15347354221101630

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, USA.

Background: A prior phase III, multicenter (United States and China), clinical trial found true acupuncture (TA) resulted in lower xerostomia scores 12 months after radiotherapy than that of a standard care control group. This small pilot study examined brain function changes comparing TA to sham acupuncture (SA) in US and Fudan patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy.

Methods: To determine cerebral activity during TA versus SA acupuncture, patients underwent electroencephalogram evaluation (EEG) immediately prior, during and after both conditions. Read More
