Neurological involvement occurs frequently (Neuro-Sjögren) and often mimics immune neuropathies such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
Objectives: We aim to assess relevant differences in vessel density (VD) in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) in those diseases to use it as an easily available diagnostic tool.
Article Synopsis
- * The study explores how different OCTA acquisition areas and capillary plexuses affect the ability to distinguish between glaucoma patients and healthy individuals, focusing on metrics like vessel density (VD).
- * Findings suggest that the 6x6 optic nerve head (ONH) scan performs best in identifying glaucoma, and a deep learning approach outperforms traditional biomarkers used in clinical settings, indicating that OCTA could enhance glaucoma studies.

However, research on the somatic impact and psychosomatic interactions of these psychological stress reactions is lacking.
