BACKGROUND: Iodine nutrition is critical for fetal neurodevelopment in the first trimester of pregnancy, a period associated with dramatic changes in thyroid function. The aim of this study was to evaluate iodine nutritional status and thyroid function reference ranges in the first trimester in Taiwan. METHODS: Pregnant women aged 20 years and above in the first trimester were recruited in Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan from March 2019 to July 2022. Each participant provided a spot urine sample for measurement of urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and a blood sample for check-up of thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies...

BACKGROUND: Thyroid dysfunction's effects on those who have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation have not been well investigated. We looked at how thyroid function among patients with pre-existing atrial fibrillation related to thromboembolic risk and clinical outcomes. METHODS: We gathered the medical information of patients diagnosed with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) between 2016 and 2020 at Dongguan People's Hospital. We then assessed the correlation between thyroid dysfunction and thrombotic risk (CHA2 DS2 -VASc) as well as the occurrence of clinical composite endpoint (all-cause death, heart failure, systemic embolism and hemorrhage events)...

INTRODUCTION: Survival in paediatric patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has increased over the last decades. However, these patients are at increased risk of developing late thyroid sequelae due to the treatment with irradiation and alkylating agents. METHODS: We conducted an observational and retrospective study in patients with a diagnosis of HL between 2007 and 2022, in a hospital that is a paediatric oncology reference centre, through the review of electronic health records...

BACKGROUND: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an organ specific autoimmune disease, which can manifest at any age of life. there is a high prevalence of extrahepatic autoimmune diseases in patients with AIH. Autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATDs) are the most frequent extrahepatic autoimmune disorders among patients with AIH. Aim of work is to detect the frequency of ATDs among Egyptian children with AIH. METHODS: This research is a cross-sectional study conducted on 58 children with AIH aged ≤ 18 years...

INTRODUCTION: Levels of serum selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) decrease when total parental nutrition (TPN) is administered without trace element supplementation for just a few weeks. These trace elements are involved in thyroid hormone metabolism and their deficiencies cause thyroid dysfunction. However, there have been few reports on the details of its clinical course. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old man presented with thyroid dysfunction due to Se and Zn deficiency...

Johanson-Blizzard syndrome (JBS) is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1 (UBR1) gene. This syndrome is characterized by the following typical clinical features: hypoplasia or aplasia of the alae nasi, congenital scalp defects, sensorineural hearing loss, hypothyroidism, growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, imperforate anus, genitourinary anomalies, and atypical hair patterns. Here, we describe a case of a 12-year-old girl with JBS of consanguineous parents...

INTRODUCTION: Thyroid-releasing hormones are pivotal in regulating cardiovascular (CVS) function and maintaining its hemodynamics and homeostasis. Even a minor alteration in thyroid function has an enormous implication on CVS morbidity and mortality. Moreover, hypothyroidism was found to be a potential menace for coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to determine the role of thyroid-releasing hormones in patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome (ACS)...

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Alstrom syndrome is one of the rarest monogenic ciliopathy belonging to autosomal recessive disorder. The pathophysiology of Alstrom syndrome is not well understood but based upon the available medical literature its mechanism can be linked with recessive mutation in Alstrom syndrome 1(ALSM1) gene resulting in various multiple organ involvement and poor prognosis. Moreover the co-occurrence of such syndrome simultaneously in twins in same period of time is considered rare...

BACKGROUND: A substantial majority of women in India report experiencing stress frequently, with a significant number indicating a lack of time for relaxation. Women within a central productive age bracket often report higher stress levels. Chronic stress can lead to the development of autoimmune disorders affecting the thyroid gland. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between perceived stress and thyroid function among apparently normal women of reproductive age...

The level of thyroid hormones is often changed in uncontrolled diabetic patients. Screening for Thyroid dysfunction (TD) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) should be performed considering the increased prevalence of thyroid disorders. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in outpatient department of Endocrinology and Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh (MMCH) from 1st March 2020 to 30th August 2021. One hundred (100) patients with type 2 diabetes along with 100 (hundred) non-diabetic controls of same age group were enrolled in the study...

BACKGROUND: The relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism (SHYPO) and sleep disturbances is still poorly investigated. This systematic review aims to critically appraise the existing literature to provide more insights in understanding whether SHYPO favors sleep disturbances or it is the sleep disturbance per se that affects the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis regulation. METHODS: Original studies on sleep quality and duration in patients with SHYPO were searched in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus databases...

Background: International guidelines recommend targeted screening to identify gestational thyroid dysfunction. However, currently used risk factors have questionable discriminative ability. We quantified the risk for thyroid function test abnormalities for a subset of risk factors currently used in international guidelines. Methods: We included prospective cohort studies with data on gestational maternal thyroid function and potential risk factors (maternal age, body mass index [BMI], parity, smoking status, pregnancy through in vitro fertilization, twin pregnancy, gestational age, maternal education, and thyroid peroxidase antibody [TPOAb] or thyroglobulin antibody [TgAb] positivity)...

We report a randomized, multicenter, open-label trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03096613) to investigate the clinical benefits of levothyroxine (L-T4) administration in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Overall, 117 patients were enrolled and received L-T4 plus standard HFrEF treatment (experimental group, N = 57) or standard HFrEF therapy alone (control group, N = 60). The change of 6-min walk test distance in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 24 weeks (70...

AIM: To investigate the effects of levothyroxine and prednisolone treatment, or in combination, on positive thyroid autoantibodies in infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study included a total of 190 patients with positive thyroid autoantibodies (anti-T and anti-TPO) who underwent IVF treatment between January 2008 and March 2016. Patients were divided into four groups: group 1-levothyroxine group (n = 50), group 2-prednisolone group (n = 50), group 3-levothyroxine and prednisolone combination (n = 25), group 4-control group (n = 65)...

INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical procedure that restores blood flow to heart muscle by bypassing the blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. On the other hand, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is characterized by an elevated serum concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone with normal levels of serum free thyroxine. With limited research into the impact of SCH on postoperative CABG outcomes, this systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus was performed from inception to April 2023...
