| | Thyroid Eye Disease |
 | | Graves' disease is a naturally remitting condition, and over a period of time many of the symptoms, including [those related to] the eyes, may improve. | | | Graves' disease triggers an overproduction of hormones from the body's thyroid gland, a key regulator of metabolism and other vital functions. | | | This could also be interpreted that the Graves' and TED were caused by the anemia and correction of the anemia by the bone marrow transplantation corrected these conditions. |

| | Thyroidectomy is no longer the preferred choice of therapy for hyperthyroid Graves disease. | | | Graves disease is autoimmune in etiology, influenced by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. | | | Pathophysiology: In Graves disease, B and T lymphocyte–mediated autoimmunity are known to be directed at 4 well-known thyroid antigens: thyroglobulin, thyroid peroxidase, sodium-iodide symporter, and the thyrotropin receptor. |

| | Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, is an autoimmune disease, and has a chronic course with remissions and relapses. | | | Graves' disease (and Hashimoto's thyroiditis) is sometimes associated with other autoimmune disorders, including insulindependent diabetes mellitus, vitiligo, premature graying of hair, pernicious anemia, collagen diseases, and polyglandular deficiency syndrome. | | | Graves' disease is characterized by hyperthyroidism and one or more of the following: goiter, exophthalmos, and pretibial myxedema. |

| | VII. THERAPY OF GOITER |
| | In Japan, unlike Western countries, many patients with Graves-Basedows disease are treated surgically because of the excellent long-term results and few complications (Harada 1997). | | | In the United States and in the majority of European countries, surgical therapy for Graves-Basedows disease is not considered primary treatment, but is selected when other treatments fail or are contraindicated because of an allergic reaction to antithyroid drugs or unusually low iodine uptakes by the thyroid. | | | A comparative study of th outcome of surgical treatment for Graves-Basedows disease revealed that the prevalence of postoperative hypothyroidism was 5 times lower, but recurrent hyperthyroidism was 5 times higher in an area with a high iodine level than in one with a low iodine level (Thjodleifsson 1977). |

| | CYTOLOGY OF GOITER WITH THYROID DYSFUNCTION |
| | This led us to change our former practice, and in all of our patients with Graves-Basedow's disease we now perform repeated US 6-monthly until the US pattern of the thyroid normalizes in order to detect a nodule with a US pattern identical to that initially presented for the whole thyroid in Graves-Basedow's disease. | | | The underlying disease is not evident: it could be Graves-Basedow's disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. | | | The detection of a hypoechogenic nodule at the time of diagnosis of Graves-Basedow's disease may be very difficult or even impossible. |

| | Basedow (1840) claimed to have first described the disease, but the priority of Graves is now universally known.Angina Pectoris, described by Heberden in 1768, is considered by many as caused by the sympathetic nerves, especially the three cervical ganglia and the cardiac plexuses. | | | The above authors discuss in a very instructive method the various diseases of the sympathetic and attempt to establish, as far as possible, the physiologic, anatomic and pathologic limits of the domain of the sympathetic nerves. | | | By 1850 the physician had not lost sight of the fact that the sympathetic nerve, being so intimately associated with the vital action of every viscus, could become involved in disease. |

| | Basedow'sche Krankheit - MÖBIUS, P[AUL] J[ULIUS] (1853-1907) |
| | Strümpell, the leading German internist of his day, thought it was Möbius's greatest clinical achievement "to have erected, with one single stroke, the fruitful etiological concept in the place of all those previous contradictory and unsatisfactory attempts at explaining Graves' (or Basedow's) disease. | | | Basedow's disease (named after the German physician Karl Basedow [1799-1854] who described it in 1840), also commonly known as Grave's disease after the English physician who had described it five years before Basedow, remained an etiological enigma through much of the 19th century, usually being construed as a neurological disease. | | | This concept was so radical that Möbius' account of it in the twenty-second volume of Nothnagel's omnibus on internal medicine was presented in a separate monograph. |
