Teprotumumab for Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2017
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, a condition commonly associated with Graves' disease, remains inadequately treated. Current medical therapies, which primarily consist of glucocorticoids, have limited efficacy and present safety concerns. Inhibition of the insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) is a new therapeutic strategy to attenuate the ...

Radioiodine and thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy [PDF]

open access: yesOrbit, 1996
Particular attention has recently been paid to the relationship between radioiodine administration and the course of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Conflicting results have been reported in the literature, and radioiodine therapy has been associated either with aggravation, improvement, or no relevant changes of eye disease.

Rituximab for thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2022
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is the most frequent extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, affecting up to 50% of patients. It has a great impact on quality of life. Rituximab (RTX) is a human/murine chimeric monoclonal antibody that targets the CD20 receptor on B-lymphocytes.

Glycosaminoglycans in Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 1992
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in the retrobulbar space of patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) has been documented in a number of immunohistochemical studies. In order to gain further insight into possible immunopathogenic mechanisms, the influence of humoral immunity on retrobulbar fibroblasts (RF) as GAG producing cells as ...

The pathogenesis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Journal of Endocrinology, 1989
TAO is an autoimmune disease the pathogenesis of which is unclear. Autoimmunity against orbital antigens has been demonstrated, although the precise immunological mechanisms responsible are unidentified. Cytokines probably play an important mediating role.

Pathogenesis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1993
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy is a complex disease whose pathogenesis is thought to be autoimmune. Evidence has accumulated to implicate lymphocytes, antibodies, and cytokines targeting the orbital tissues whose structural and functional characteristics are unique.

The pathophysiology of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2002
TAO is an inflammatory disease of the orbital tissues. The effects of inflammation, mediated through cytokine release, include proliferation of fibroblasts, increased deposition of extracellular matrix, and adipocyte differentiation and proliferation. As a result, edema, enlargement of the extraocular muscles, and increased volume of the orbital soft ...

2021 update on thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2021
Our understanding of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO, A.K.A Graves' orbitopathy, thyroid eye disease) has advanced substantially, since one of us (TJS) wrote the 2010 update on TAO, appearing in this journal.PubMed was searched for relevant articles.Recent insights have resulted from important studies conducted by many different laboratory ...
