The psychosocial and clinical outcomes following orbital decompression surgery for thyroid eye disease and predictors of change in quality of life [PDF]
Objective: Thyroid eye disease (TED) has been found to reduce quality of life for many patients due to changes in their appearance and vision, although some appear to adjust better than others. This study was designed to investigate whether a patient’s

Teprotumumab for Thyroid Eye Disease: Efficacy and Impact on Orbital Decompression Utilization
Teprotumumab has been proven effective in thyroid eye disease and associated exophthalmos management. Since its FDA approval in 2020, teprotumumab therapy has been a popular choice for managing exophthalmos which has resulted in decreased utilization of orbital decompression surgery, from 36.8% between 2015 and 2020 to 11.1% TED patients between 2020 ...

Exploring tear fluid biomarkers and the ocular surface in thyroid eye disease
Abstract Purpose To examine ocular surface changes and inflammatory tear fluid biomarkers in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods We included 106 Graves' disease (GD) patients (36 without TED, 32 with active and 38 with inactive TED) and 106 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy subjects for ophthalmological evaluation, including ocular surface ...

An Allosteric Strategy for Thyroid Eye Disease This illustration depicts an aptamer (purple) binding to the target protein (white) at an allosteric site. This strategic binding induces a conformational change that acts as a shield, preventing pathogenic autoantibodies (red) from initiating the disease cascade, while leaving the protein's normal ...
