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 ...

Immunological Aspects of Graves’ Ophthalmopathy [PDF]
The body’s autoimmune process is involved in the development of Graves’ disease (GD), which is manifested by an overactive thyroid gland. In some patients, autoreactive inflammatory reactions contribute to the development of symptoms such as thyroid ophthalmopathy, and the subsequent signs and symptoms are derived from the expansion of orbital adipose ...

Progress in the pathogenesis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy and new drug development
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the most common extrathyroidal manifestation of toxic diffuse goiter (Graves' disease), also known as Graves' ophthalmopathy/orbitopathy. As an organ-specific autoimmune disease, the pathogenesis of TAO is still

A Pruritic Predicament: An Unusual Presentation of Graves’ Disease Complicated by Pregnancy
Pruritus is a known but uncommon symptom of hyperthyroidism that can be misinterpreted or overlooked in a patient presentation. This is a case report of a 40‐year‐old female who presents with a 3‐month history of severe, worsening pruritus. Further history demonstrated potential signs of hyperthyroidism, and laboratory values demonstrated low TSH ...

Pulse methylprednisolone therapy is the recommended therapy for moderate to severe and active ophthalmopathy, but high dose pulse methylprednisolone therapy is marred by the chances of fulminant hepatic failure and the high cost of therapy. Dexamethasone

Exploring Thyrotoxic Hypercalcaemia Through Two Cases: A Myriad of Uncertainties
Hypercalcaemia is a recognised complication of thyrotoxicosis usually related to increased bone resorption. However, coexistent hyperphosphataemia is uncommon and may create diagnostic uncertainty. It is postulated that serum calcium and phosphate levels rise due to high bone turnover and increased renal reabsorption of phosphate in response to excess ...

Blepharoplasty in Graves’ Ophthalmopathy
Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is the main extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves’ disease. Many patients require rehabilitative surgery, such as orbital decompression and lipectomy, to restore function and appearance. Graves’ lower eyelid retraction is a common, controversial sign and is resolved in most cases by eyelid surgery, which is very effective ...
