Criteria for start of treatment with corticosteroids, retrobulbar irradiation, or orbital decompression are severe soft tissue swelling (NO SPECS class 2c), risk of corneal ulcers with or without exophthalmos, double vision within 30 degrees,
This research aims to verify in a pilot study the effect of selenium as an augmentation treatment for sertraline-resistant major depression and, as secondary endpoints, if the levels of selenium in patients with depressive episodes are different from individuals without depression. Thus, this
Thyroid hormone (TH) is a critical hormone responsible for growth, development, and metabolism. It maintains basal metabolic rate (BMR), improves adaptive thermogenesis, and thus modulates body weight by fine-tuning energy expenditure and intake. Hyperthyroidism, a condition with excess TH, presents
