Consensus statement of the European Group on Graves' orbitopathy (EUGOGO) on management of GO.

2008

Summary of consensus a. All patients with GO should (Fig. 1):Be referred to specialist centers;Be encouraged to quit smoking;Receive prompt treatment in order to restore andmaintain euthyroidism.b. Patients with sight-threatening GO should be treatedwith i.v. GCs as the first-line treatment; if the responseis poor after 1–2 weeks, they should be submitted tourgent surgical decompression.c. The treatment of choice for moderate-to-severe GO isi.v. GCs (with or without OR) if the orbitopathy isactive;surgery(orbitaldecompression,squintsurgery,and/or eyelid surgery in this order) should beconsidered if the orbitopathy is inactive.d. In patients with mild GO, local measures and anexpectant strate…

Somatostatin-Rezeptor-Szintigraphie bei endokriner Orbitopathie

1994

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with 111In-labeled octreotide proves to be a very sensitive diagnostic tool for evaluation of inflammative activity in endocrine ophthalmopathy (EO). The results of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) in 40 patients with EO show a high orbital accumulation of 111In-octreotide in clinically active EO (4 h-median/orbit-brain-ratio: 12.6; controls 4 h-median: 5.8) Patients with clinically inactive EO (4 h-median: 7.1) show a similar orbital accumulation of radioactivity compared to controls. 5 patients with active orbital myositis also revealed an even higher orbital accumulation of radioactivity (4 h-median: 42.3). The diagnostic value of SRS lies in it…

Predictors of individual adaptation to high-volume or high-intensity endurance training in recreational endurance runners

2015

The aim of this study was to investigate factors that can predict individual adaptation to high-volume or high-intensity endurance training. After the first 8-week preparation period, 37 recreational endurance runners were matched into the high-volume training group (HVT) and high-intensity training group (HIT). During the next 8-week training period, HVT increased their running training volume and HIT increased training intensity. Endurance performance characteristics, heart rate variability (HRV), and serum hormone concentrations were measured before and after the training periods. While HIT improved peak treadmill running speed (RSpeak ) 3.1 ± 2.8% (P < 0.001), no significant changes occ…

Treacher Collins syndrome-a case report and review of literature

2011

Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) or Franceschetti syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder of craniofacial development with variable expressivity. It is named after E Treacher Collins who described the essential components of the condition in 1900. Incidence of this syndrome is approximately 1 in 50,000 live births and it affects both genders equally. It affects structures which are derivatives of the first and second brachial arches. The most common manifestations of TCS are the antimongloid slanting of the palpebral fissures, colobomas of the lower eyelid, hypoplasia of zygoma and mandible; and a variety of ear abnormalities. This article describes clinical and radiographic features of T…

Patients' cosmetic satisfaction, pain, and functional outcomes after supraorbital craniotomy through an eyebrow incision

2014

Object The supraorbital approach through an eyebrow incision offers the opportunity to access a wide variety of lesions of the anterior, middle, and even the posterior fossa. The minimally invasive keyhole craniotomy limits brain exploration and retraction and offers the potential for improved surgical outcomes and reduced approach-related complications. Patient satisfaction, however, has not yet been reported in the literature. Methods From January 2002 through December 2011, the lead author (R.R.) used a supraorbital approach through an eyebrow incision for 418 patients with cerebral aneurysms, brain tumors or cystic lesions, and other miscellaneous pathological conditions. For 408 of th…

The effect of conventional movement training and trampoline training on balance and gait in chronic hemiplegic patients

1991

The postural sway of subjects during standing both with their eyes open and closed together with maximum velocity of walking were analysed in six male chronic hemiplegic patients before, during and after an intensive movement training programme lasting 8 weeks. The movement training programme was carried out on the basis of Bobath's principles. Three of the subjects carried out their training on a trampoline, with the particular purpose of enhancing the stimulation of the mechanisms responsible for the control of balance. During the follow-up, maximal walking velocity remained at previous levels and no systematic changes were observed in the control of postural sway. Although the use of the…

CHANGES IN THE TEAR PROTEIN PATTERNS OF DIABETIC PATIENTS USING TWO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROPHORESIS.

2000

Four to five million Germans suffer from diabetes mellitus, and worldwide there are about 100 million people that suffer with the disease. In diabetic patients, dry eye and other ocular surface diseases occur more often than in healthy subjects. Very little is known about the alterations in tears caused by diabetes mellitus, or its influence on the pathogenesis of e.g., the dry eye disease. Recent studies from our group showed that there are differences in the one-dimensional electrophoretic tear protein separations between diabetic patients and healthy volunteers.1,2 The aim of this study is to analyze the tear protein patterns of patients suffering from diabetes (DIA) (Fig.l), and to comp…

Clinical Implications in Perimetry After Photorefractive Keratectomy

2003

Through refractive surgery, it is now possible to correct various ametropias using new techniques such as photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). We hypothesized that patients submitting to PRK show higher peripheral thresholds attributable to poorer retinal quality than normal patients. However, no difference were found when comparing glaucoma with PRK patients. Thus, early glaucoma following PRK may be masked by the previous surgery.
