Scientific Research Project Department, Guangdong Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Laboratory (Guangzhou), Pazhou Lab, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) share overlapping genetic and immunological profiles. This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy of machine learning algorithms, with a focus on the Random Forest Classifier, to predict the presence of thyroid-specific autoantibodies (TPOAb and TgAb) in pSS patients.
Methods: A total of 96 patients with pSS were included in the retrospective study.

Purpose: Orocervical (OCF) or pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) are one of the disastrous complications of head and neck cancer surgery. Conventional standards of management are predominantly conservative. Though a majority of such patients respond to conservative management, it nevertheless causes significant delay in wound healing.

Australian Centre for Integration of Oral Health, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Western Sydney University, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: Xerostomia (dry mouth) is a common yet severe problem, causing difficulty with eating, speaking, dental caries, and discomfort. Access issues to dental services, including cost and availability of dental practitioners, can delay timely diagnosis and management of dry mouth. Thus, there is a need for innovative approaches to manage xerostomia, involving non-dental primary care health practitioners.

Unlike other autoimmune diseases, little is known about the environmental risk factors for Sjögren's disease (SjD). Smoking is an important risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis but the relationship between smoking and SjD is more complex to understand. Current smoking seems to be negatively linked to SjD, whereas there is mixed data on past smoking.
