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 ...

TSHR‐Targeting Nucleic Acid Aptamer Treats Graves' Ophthalmopathy via Novel Allosteric Inhibition
This study presents YC3, a novel inhibitory TSHR‐targeting aptamer, as a promising therapeutic for Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). YC3 suppresses pathological phenotypes in human orbital fibroblasts and improves outcomes in GO mice by binding to a previously unidentified allosteric site on TSHR, demonstrating the potential of aptamers in advancing ...

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 ...

Application of machine learning in the diagnostic work‐up of telomere biology disorders
ABSTRACT We applied supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML) analyses to a cohort of 140 patients referred to the Hematology Unit of the G. Gaslini Institute from 1989 to 2023 for persistent cytopenia and/or features suggestive of telomere biology disorders (TBDs). Patients were labeled as “TBD” (n = 20, established molecular diagnosis of TBD),

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 ...

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 ...
