ABSTRACT Background Thyroid‐associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) may lead to severe exophthalmos and dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), which can threaten visual function. Orbital decompression surgery is often required when medical therapy is insufficient; however, traditional deep lateral wall decompression techniques remain associated with several ...

Graves' disease is associated with a defective expression of the immune regulatory molecule galectin-9 in antigen-presenting dendritic cells [PDF]
Introduction Patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) show defects in their immune-regulatory mechanisms. Herein we assessed the expression and function of galectin-1 and galectin-9 (Gal-1, Gal-9) in dendritic cells (DCs) from patients with ...

Dry eye syndrome in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy
Purpose: The pathogenesis of keratoconjunctivitis sicca in patients with thyroid eye disease is presented. The influence of therapy by a HYLO-PARIN® on a condition of a tear film in patients with various forms of thyroid eye disease is assessed. Methods:

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

Microbiome in orbital fat under thyroid associated ophthalmopathy
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) manifests as orbital adipose hyperplasia, leading to high intraocular pressure, severe pain, and blindness. The underlying factors that trigger the abnormal immune process in TAO remain unknown.

The diagnostic model combining orbital and intracranial MAP‐MRI parameters could significantly optimize diagnostic efficiency of dysthyroid optic neuropathy. Comprehensive MAP‐MRI parameters analysis of the entire visual pathway enables a deeper understanding of disease involvement, provides novel insights into the early accurate diagnosis and ...
