Objectives: To evaluate the changes of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer/inner plexiform layer (GCL/IPL) with the severity of thyroid eye disease (TED).

Methods: One hundred and forty-five eyes of 75 patients with TED and 70 eyes of 35 healthy controls were included. The eyes with TED were divided into mild group (35 eyes), moderate-to-severe group (42 eyes) and DON group (68 eyes). The thickness of RNFL and GCL/IPL were measured by optic coherence tomography (OCT). Clinical activity score (CAS), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), proptosis and mean deviation (MD) by Humphrey perimetry were assessed.

Results: The CAS had significant difference between the three groups (p < 0.001). The proptosis and IOP were significantly higher in DON group and moderate-to-severe group than mild group (p < 0.05). The MD and BCVA were significantly worse in DON group compared with mild group and moderate-to-severe group (p < 0.001). The mean GCL/IPL thickness was thinnest in DON group (p < 0.001). The mean RNFL thickness had significant difference between moderate-to-severe group and DON group (p = 0.036). The mean GCL/IPL thickness had a significant correlation with MD (r = 0.449, p < 0.001) and VA (r = -0.388, p < 0.001), whereas the mean RNFL thickness had no significant correlation with MD (p = 0.082) or VA (p = 0.226).

Conclusions: Subclinical optic neuropathy might progress in the patients with moderate-to-severe TED. OCT measurements of GCL/IPL and RNFL are useful to detect the early changes of optic nerve. The thinning of GCL/IPL might be a strong suggestion for closer vision follow-up and earlier decompression surgery.

Children With Cochlear Implants Use Semantic Prediction to Facilitate Spoken Word Recognition.

Authors:
Christina Blomquist Rochelle S Newman Yi Ting Huang Jan Edwards

J Speech Lang Hear Res 2021 Apr 22:1-14. Epub 2021 Apr 22.

Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park.

Purpose Children with cochlear implants (CIs) are more likely to struggle with spoken language than their age-matched peers with normal hearing (NH), and new language processing literature suggests that these challenges may be linked to delays in spoken word recognition. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether children with CIs use language knowledge via semantic prediction to facilitate recognition of upcoming words and help compensate for uncertainties in the acoustic signal. Method Five- to 10-year-old children with CIs heard sentences with an informative verb () or a neutral verb () preceding a target word (). Read More

Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Chulalongkorn University and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thai Red Cross Society, Bangkok, Thailand.

Purpose: To evaluate the structure and function of meibomian glands in patients with thyroid related orbitopathy (TRO) compared with age- and sex-matched controls without TRO.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 106 eyes of 53 patients with TRO and 106 eyes of 53 age- and sex-matched controls without TRO. Patients with TRO were assessed for thyroid hormone status, activity and severity of TRO. Read More
