Textural Analysis of Magnetic Resonance Images as an Additional Evaluation Tool of Parotid Glands in Sjögren-Primarily Findings.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a leading role in diagnosing soft tissue pathologies, especially in the head and neck. It is increasingly popular for evaluating salivary gland issues like neoplasms and Sjogren's Syndrome. Advanced MRI methods, including MRI sialography and texture analysis, offer non-invasive alternatives, enhancing MRI's role.

Recurrent or persistent salivary gland enlargement in children: When is it Sjögren's?

Objectives: To describe characteristic features in children with recurrent or persistent salivary gland enlargement and to propose a diagnostic algorithm with specific consideration for Sjögren's disease (SD).

Methods: In this single-center, prospective study, 45 patients < 18 years, with recurrent or persistent salivary gland enlargement of unknown etiology were enrolled from 2006 to 2019. We collected detailed clinical information to characterize this group of patients including specific details of their major salivary gland signs and symptoms.

Childhood Sjögren syndrome: features of an international cohort and application of the 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria.

Objective: Sjögren syndrome in children is a poorly understood autoimmune disease. We aimed to describe the clinical and diagnostic features of children diagnosed with Sjögren syndrome and explore how the 2016 ACR/EULAR classification criteria apply to this population.

Methods: An international workgroup retrospectively collected cases of Sjögren syndrome diagnosed under 18 years of age from 23 centres across eight nations.

Isavuconazole in a Successful Combination Treatment of Disseminated Mucormycosis in a Child with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia and Generalized Haemochromatosis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Invasive mucormycosis in immunocompromised children is a life-threatening fungal infection. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia complicated by disseminated mucormycosis during induction therapy. Microscopic examination of surgically removed lung tissue revealed wide, pauci-septate hyphae suggesting a Mucorales infection.
