Publication Metadata only Local Ocular Surface Alterations in Children with Hashimoto-s Thyroiditis(2019-08-17) Kiziltoprak, Hasan; Koc, Mustafa; Tekin, Kemal; Hekimoglu, Rumeysa; Inanc, Merve; Yilmaz, Aslihan Arasli; Elmaogullari, Selin; Aycan, Zehra; HEKİMOĞLU, EMİNE RÜMEYSAPurpose: To evaluate the ocular surface characteristics based on Schirmer-s test, tear break-up time (TBUT), and conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) in children with Hashimoto-s thyroiditis (HT). Methods: This study included 51 children with HT and 53 control subjects. The ocular surface characteristics of participants were assessed via Schirmer-s test, TBUT, and CIC. Conjunctival samples were examined cytologically according to the Nelson grading system. Results: Schirmer-s and TBUT results were significantly lower in HT group (p < .05). All samples in both the study and control groups were evaluated as grade 0 according to the Nelson classification (p = .841), however, goblet cell density (GCD) was significantly lower in HT group (p = .001). Schirmer test results were significantly associated with the duration of HT (p = .025, r = -0.311). Conclusion: Hashimoto-s thyroiditis without any ocular complaints may cause ocular surface changes with TBUT and Schirmer-s. Although CIC analysis showed similar grading results, GCD was significantly decreased in HT group.Publication Metadata only Alterations of Tear Film and Ocular Surface in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus(2019-01-01) Inanc, Merve; Kiziltoprak, Hasan; Hekimoglu, Rumeysa; Tekin, Kemal; Ozalkak, Servan; Koc, Mustafa; Bayramoglu, Elvan; ZIRH, SELİM; Yuruker, Sinan; Aycan, Zehra; HEKİMOĞLU, EMİNE RÜMEYSA
