Published: August 2018

A broad understanding of the different imaging modalities used to assess the physiologic changes seen in Graves' orbitopathy complement clinical examination. Subtle applications of radiographic imaging techniques allow for a better understanding of the overall physiology of the orbit, quantify progression of disease, and differentiate it from orbital diseases with overlapping features. A nuanced approach to interpreting imaging features may allow us to delineate inactive from active thyroid eye disease, and advances within this field may arm clinicians with the ability to better predict and prevent dysthyroid optic neuropathy.

Opportunities and Challenges of a Cap-and-Trade System for Plastics.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Wageningen University and Research, Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics Group, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands.

Recently, the rapid increase in global plastics production has caused various ecological and economic issues, worsened by poor material and waste management. Among the market-based instruments that could help mitigate the environmental impacts of plastics throughout their life-cycle, we evaluate the advantages and limitations of incorporating a cap-and-trade (CAT) system into future policy mixes. Our aim is to inspire further investigation of CAT's feasibility rather than presenting it as the ultimate solution.

Graves' disease (GD) and gestational transient thyrotoxicosis (GTT) are the most common causes of thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy, with prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 1% and from 1% to 3%, respectively. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can have severe consequences if not promptly recognized and treated.

Esophageal cancer is a grave malignant condition. While radiotherapy, often in conjunction with chemotherapy, serves as a cornerstone in the management of locally advanced or metastatic cases, patient tolerance and treatment resistance frequently hinder its efficacy. Cell-in-cell structures, prevalent in various tumors, have been linked to prognosis.

Background: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is the most prevalent extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). Emerging evidence suggests a relationship between elevated total and LDL cholesterol levels and TED. This study aimed to investigate this correlation in the Brazilian population by analyzing data from two tertiary care centers.
