AI Article Synopsis
- A study in 2005 examined ophthalmic surgeries in 178 patients (69 males, 109 females) with Graves' ophthalmopathy.
- 121 eyelid surgeries, 138 extraocular muscle surgeries (86 simple, 19 complex), and 57 orbital decompressions were performed on affected eyes.
- Patients who stabilized their orbitopathy before surgery experienced better outcomes and fewer complications.
Article Abstract
We evaluated various ophthalmic surgeries for patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. In 2005, surgical procedures were employed on 178 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (male 69, female 109). Eyelid surgery was indicated for treatment of various anterior eye changes. Eyelid surgery was employed on 121 eyes of 84 cases. Extraocular muscle surgery was performed on 138 eyes of 105 cases, simple type 86 cases and complex type 19 cases. The cicatrical adhesion to the surface of the affected muscle was always observed. Orbital decompression was performed on 57 eyes of 33 cases. Better results and few complications were considered attributable to the stabilization of orbitopathy before surgery.

Endocrine ophthalmopathy (EO; also called Graves' ophthalmopathy, thyroid eye disease) is a common extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease, characterized by the presence of autoimmune inflammatory process in the orbital soft tissues. The prevalence of EO is approximately 10 cases per 10.000 population, higher in individuals over 50 years old.

Up to 80% of children/adolescents with Graves' disease (GD) may require second-line treatment with either surgery or radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy after treatment with antithyroid drugs. These interventions aim to induce permanent hypothyroidism, but are not always successful. We aimed to evaluate the initial success rate (within the first year) of RAI treatment and its determining factors as second-line treatment in teenagers with GD.

: Extensive research has emphasised the persistent challenges and failures in providing hospitalised patients with fundamental evidence-based nursing care, often resulting in grave consequences for patient safety. Recommendations from implementation research indicate that a tailored theory- and research-based implementation strategy targeting contextual determinants can optimise the implementation of evidence-based clinical practice for the benefit of patients. This study evaluated the feasibility of an implementation strategy designed to improve the quality of nursing care by targeting behavioural and environmental barriers in a hospital setting.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of T2 mapping and Dixon in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy's disease activity.
Methods: Published studies were collected by systematically searching the databases PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Medline, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and WANFANG. The sensitivities, specificities, likelihood ratios, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were confirmed.
