This study elucidates macrophage‐induced orbital fibrosis in TED via the GAS6‐AXL pathway, a treatment‐resistant disorder lacking non‐surgical therapies. Using a novel patient cell‐derived orthotopic animal model of orbital fibrosis for TED, we repurpose an existing fibrosis therapy, addressing the absence of stable models and offering a potential ...

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 ...

Glymphatic System Dysfunction in Thyroid‐Associated Ophthalmopathy: A Multimodal MRI Study
TAO patients exhibit impaired glymphatic function, with reduced DTI‐ALPS indices and gBOLD‐CSF coupling, but unchanged choroid plexus volume. These alterations correlate with neuropsychological symptoms and sleep disturbances. Restoring glymphatic activity may offer a therapeutic approach to enhance patient outcomes.

Application of Agents Against Interferon-Gamma-Dependent Chemokines in Immunotherapy [PDF]
The CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR) 3 and its chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11) are involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disesases. Under the influence of interferon (IFN) γ, the IFNγ-inducible chemokines are secreted by lymphocytes, and by ...

Corneal Confocal Microscopy to Diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Peripheral neuropathy (PN) may be diagnosed late or may remain undiagnosed. Studies have shown that measurement of corneal nerve fiber length (CNFL) using corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) may have diagnostic utility in diabetic and other peripheral neuropathies. Methods The main databases [CENTRAL, Embase (Ovid), and

Building the case for insulin-like growth factor receptor-I involvement in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy [PDF]
The pathogenesis of orbital Graves' disease (GD), a process known as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), remains incompletely understood. The thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) represents the central autoantigen involved in GD and has been proposed as the ...

Treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy with Cyclosporin A [PDF]
To evaluate the effect of Cyclosporin A in the management of Graves' ophthalmopathy, we treated 13 patients with severe euthyroid endocrine eye disease with the immunosuppressive drug. Follow up consisted of clinical investigation, laboratory evaluation with detailed thyroid function tests and complete ophthalmological assessments including A and B ...

Double Filtration Plasmapheresis for Thyroid Storm With Encephalopathy: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Thyroid storm is a life‐threatening endocrine emergency with a mortality rate of up to 17%. Standard treatment includes antithyroid drugs (ATD), β‐blockers, and glucocorticoids. However, some patients may require blood purification therapies, such as plasmapheresis, due to the ineffectiveness of standard treatments or contraindications like ...

Treatment of ophthalmopathy in the course of Graves’ disease
: Introduction: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease in which the TSH receptor (TSHR) is an autoantigen. Its stimulation by antibodies inhibiting thyrotropin binding causes increased secretion of free thyroid hormones and consequently symptoms of ...
