Filter by:This is a pilot study to investigate serum prednisolone profiles in: - Patients on high doses of prednisolone for any inflammatory disorder, both in the acute and chronic setting. - Patients stepping up from or down to prednisolone therapy in association with a course of high dose methyl-prednisolone or dexamethasone. The study will comprise 3 groups, including those started on high doses of prednisolone acutely in an inpatient or outpatient setting, participants on chronically high doses, and those receiving a several week course of high dose methylprednisolone or dexamethasone. The study aims to measure prednisolone levels at a number of time points to investigate serum profile differences in those receiving prednisolone acutely compared with longer term steroid use. Further samples will be taken to characterise additional metabolic changes.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of using Tamsulosin for treatment of eyelid retraction as part of thyroid eye disease. The treatment will be offered to all thyroid patients suffering from eyelid retraction who are treated at the thyroid clinic in Sheba's Ophthalmology department. All patient will receive information about the drug Tamsulosin, the possible side effects, and the alternative treatment options for retraction. Patients recruited will take 0.4mg/day Tamsulosin for 3 months and will have follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months to evaluate the retraction status.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of sub-tenon aflibercept in combination with either saline or hyaluronidase (HA) in patients with acute Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) as assessed by the incidence and severity of adverse events from baseline to day 45. Participants will undergo clinical examinations and receive three injections of aflibercept with saline, aflibercept with hyaluronidase, or hyaluronidase.
Thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a common autoimmune disorder. The pathogenesis of TAO is unclear, and studies found that T cell, B cell and monocytes, macrophages and mast cells are located in the orbital tissue of TAO. Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is the most serious complication of TAO, which can cause blurred vision, color vision and vision function damage, and affects the quality of life. Investigation of the therapeutic effect of orbital decompression may provide some clues to make the policy at treatment of DON. We explore the therapeutic effect of orbital decompression in patients with DON in both eyes.
