OBJECTIVE: Malabsorption of levothyroxine (LT4) is often seen in patients with hypothyroidism and gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. Our study was designed to establish the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients with hypothyroidism and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to demonstrate that liquid LT4 is more consistently absorbed vs. tablet, leading to improvement in thyroid and GI symptoms. METHODS: This was a single-center, open label, prospective cohort study of liquid LT4 in 75 adult patients with hypothyroidism and IBS...

Incidental radiographic findings of an empty sella are prevalent in up to 35% of the general population. While empty sella was initially considered clinically insignificant, a subset of patients exhibits endocrine or neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations which are diagnostic of empty sella syndrome (ESS). Recent studies suggest that more patients are affected by ESS than previously recognized, necessitating a deeper understanding of this condition and an approach to evaluating and managing these patients. This comprehensive review addresses the etiologies and risk factors associated with primary and secondary empty sella, the radiological features that differentiate empty sella from other sellar lesions, and the role of clinical history and hormone testing in identifying patients with ESS...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, initially developed for type 2 diabetes treatment, have shown potential benefits beyond glycemic control, including a positive impact on blood pressure. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate their effects on patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published until May 31, 2023. Ten RCTs involving participants with confirmed Type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected...

OBJECTIVE: An alterable risk factor for hyperuricemia is obesity. Additionally, obese persons may have a moderate form of acquired resistance to thyroid hormones. Thyrotropin (TSH), thyroid hormones, and obesity all interact subtly. However, the connection between thyroid hormone sensitivity and hyperuricaemia in obese patients both before and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has not yet been clarified. The objective of our study was to investigate the connection between impaired thyroid hormone sensitivity and elevated uric acid (UA) levels before and after LSG...

OBJECTIVE: To study the profile, management, and outcomes of follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer (FCDTC) before publication of the 2016 American Thyroid Association guidelines recommending less aggressive thyroid cancer procedures. METHODS: Patients with FCDTC were seen by one thyroidologist at Mayo Clinic during the 2015 calendar year. Patients underwent surgical procedures for FCDTC in 2015 or earlier at the Mayo Clinic or another institution. Follow-up data were collected from January 1, 2016, through July 20, 2022...

PURPOSE: Parathyroidectomy treats uncontrolled renal hyperparathyroidism, requiring identification of all glands. Three types of enhancement are proposed. Type A lesions have higher arterial phase attenuation than the thyroid, Type B lesions lack higher arterial phase attenuation but have lower venous phase attenuation, and Type C lesions neither have higher arterial phase attenuation nor lower venous phase attenuation than the thyroid.We aimed to outline the imaging features of problematic parathyroid glands in renal hyperparathyroidism and propose a 4DCT interpretation algorithm...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the early efficacy of anlotinib in progressive radioactive iodine refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) patients in terms of structural, biochemical, and metabolic levels. METHODS: Ten eligible patients were prospectively enrolled to receive anlotinib. Six weeks' response were assessed. Apart from the structural response according to RECIST 1.1, biochemical response was assessed by serum thyroglobulin (Tg), metabolic response was assessed by 18 F-FDG PET/CT according to the EORTC criteria...

REVIEW

SGLT-2 inhibitors are widely used for diabetes management especially since their effects go beyond glucose control. More recently their indications and usage has expanded to heart failure and renal dysfunction therapy in patients both with and without diabetes. Beneficial effects, especially for heart failure readmission accrue very early in their treatment trajectory and this has promoted their use in the hospital setting. Data on their safety and efficacy for inpatient use is accumulating but has lagged behind the outpatient data for their use...

OBJECTIVE: In thyroid eye disease (TED) inflammation and expansion of orbital muscle and peri-orbital fat produce diplopia and proptosis, severely impacting patient quality of life (QOL). Reported heath state utility (HSU) scores, which are QOL measures, allow quantification of TED impact and improvement with therapies; however, no current QOL instrument has been validated with HSU scores for TED. Here we use disease-specific Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO)-QOL questionnaire and HSU scores to validate QOL impact...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the bedside utility of spectral Doppler ultrasound (SDUS) in the initial evaluation of patients presenting with thyrotoxicosis. METHODS: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis at an academic outpatient endocrinology clinic from August 2019 to November 2022. The thyroid arteries' peak systolic velocities (PSV) were measured bilaterally using SDUS. PSV ≥40 cm/sec in at least a single thyroid artery was considered a reasonable cut-off for Graves' disease, and PSV of peri-nodular artery ≥ 25 cm/sec for toxic adenoma...

OBJECTIVE: Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) outcomes associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapies remain unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes and newly diagnosed diabetic foot complications (DFCs). This study examined the impact of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA use on the rates of MACEs and amputations in patients with type 2 diabetes and without cardiovascular disease. METHODS: Data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (2004-2017) were analyzed, focusing on patients with type 2 diabetes without previous MACE and newly diagnosed DFCs...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a chronic progressive disease that requires lifelong monitoring and treatment. Sequencing from one treatment to another at different ages and stages of disease is an approach that can maximize benefits and avoid potential risks from long-term treatment with a single agent. OBJECTIVE: This article reviews clinical trial data in postmenopausal women that evaluate the effects of antiresorptive agents followed by other antiresorptives, osteoanabolic agents followed by antiresorptives, and antiresorptives followed by osteoanabolic medications...

BACKGROUND: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often face glycemic fluctuations during exercise. HD-tDCS, known for enhancing neuromodulation focus, has shown promise in improving endurance. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex HD-tDCS on glycemic excursions during a time-trial performance in elite cyclists with T1D. METHODS: In a double-blind, randomized crossover order, nine elite cyclists with T1D (no complications) underwent either HD-tDCS (F3, F4) or control (SHAM) and completed a constant-load trial at 75% of the 2nd ventilatory threshold plus a 15-km cycling time-trial...

OBJECTIVE: There is a relative lack of consensus regarding the optimal management of hyperglycemia in patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition (EN), with or without a diagnosis of diabetes. METHODS: This retrospective study examined 475 patients (303 with known diabetes) hospitalized in critical-care setting units in 2019 in a single center who received continuous EN. Rates of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucoses within target range (70-180 mg/dL) were compared in those with or without diabetes, and treated with intermediate acting (IA) biphasic neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) 70/30 or long-acting (LA) or rapid-acting (RA) only insulin...
