UNLABELLED Sjogren syndrome (SS) can occur alone, primary Sjogren syndrome, or in association with other rheumatic diseases, secondary Sjogren syndrome (sSS), such as Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The occurrence of Sjogren syndrome with RA makes it course worse and increases high morbidity and mortality of RA. In this exploratory study we aim to determine the prevalence of sSS (diagnosed based on ...

In preparing for today’s address, I have been spending quite some time reflecting on the unusual trials and triumphs that have characterized the history of laparoscopic surgery. Through these ruminations, it was with special gratitude that I reflected upon SLS, recalling how, even when the role of operative laparoscopy had yet to be clearly defined, let alone fully accepted, SLS stood as anunwa...

I am deeply honored and humbled to follow in the footsteps of true giants in minimally invasive surgery and to work with a group of extremely talented people. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Janice and Paul Wetter for their tireless support, their innovativeness, and for being the true force behind SLS. These sentiments are not solely my own. They echo the sentiments of the e...

We herein present a case of a 71-year-old woman with primary Sjogren's syndrome (SjS), who developed bilateral pleural effusion and ground glass opacity during treatment with low-dose prednisolone. The pleural effusion and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed elevation of lymphocytes. Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy showed infiltration of lymphocytes with no evidence of other diseases, confirming...

Optical heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) experiments are presented for the supercooled liquid acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin - ASP). The ASP data and previously published OHD-OKE data on supercooled dibutylphthalate (DBP) display highly damped oscillations with a periods of approximately 2 ps as the temperature is reduced to and below the mode coupling theory (MCT) temperature T...
