Journal ArticleDOI

Maria Laura Tanda,Eliana Piantanida,L. Liparulo,Giovanni Veronesi,Adriana Lai,L. Sassi,N. Pariani,Daniela Gallo,Claudio Azzolini,Marco M Ferrario,Laura Bartalena +10 more
TL;DR: Most patients with newly diagnosed Graves' disease have no ocular involvement and most patients (>80%) with no GO at baseline do not develop GO after an 18-month follow-up period, andRemission of mild GO occurs in the majority of cases.
Journal Article

Maria Laura Tanda,Adriana Lai,Luigi Bartalena,Shamasunder Acharya,Alison Avenell,Sam Philip,Jennifer Burr,John Bevan,Prakash Abraham +8 more
TL;DR: An association between radioiodine therapy for Graves' disease and the development or worsening of Graves’ ophthalmopathy is widely quoted but there has been no systematic review of the evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and natural history of Graves’ orbitopathy in the XXI century
TL;DR: There seems to be a trend towards a decline in progression of GO, possibly due to a better control of risk factors (cigarette smoking, thyroid dysfunction, etc.) and a closer interaction between endocrinologists and ophthalmologists allowing an improved integrated management of thyroid and orbital disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower Dose Prednisone Prevents Radioiodine-Associated Exacerbation of Initially Mild or Absent Graves’ Orbitopathy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Adriana Lai,L. Sassi,Emanuele Compri,Franca Marino,Paolo Sivelli,Eliana Piantanida,Maria Laura Tanda,Luigi Bartalena +7 more
TL;DR: Lower doses of oral prednisone are as effective as previously reported doses (0.3-0.5 mg/kg bw) and a shorter treatment period (6 wk) is probably sufficient, as the increase in bw is less using lower doses ofprednisone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis and management of amiodarone‐induced thyrotoxicosis in Europe: results of an international survey among members of the European Thyroid Association
Luigi Bartalena,Wilmar M. Wiersinga,Maria Laura Tanda,Fausto Bogazzi,Eliana Piantanida,Adriana Lai,Enio Martino +6 more
TL;DR: To determine how expert European thyroidologists assess and treat amiodarone‐induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is assessed and treated, a large number of experts believe it to be safe and effective to treat.
