Background: There is an interdependency between thyroid hormones and renal function. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) a degradation of function that irreversible. Aimsand Objectives: To compare the hormone profiles CKD patients receiving two distinct therapeutic approaches. Materials methods: Over course one year, 200 newly diagnosed or known withCKD were recruited for cross-sectional study. Group ...

Background: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019, it has affected >200 countries, areas, or territories 6 continents. At present, whether COVID-19 an effect on thyroid function is unclear. The aim this study was to evaluate iraqi patients with COVID-19. Methods: Clinical features, laboratory resu...

In this study, capsaicin was administered to rats with experimental hypothyroidism. İt aimed determine the changes in plasma levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), which are indicators oxidative stress, and total antioxidant capacity (TAS), is one components defence mechanisms. A 32 healthy male Wistar Albino weighing 300-350 g, approximately 12 weeks old, were used as anima...

Abstract Background We aimed to study the effectiveness of preoperative thyroid hormone levels in predicting intensive care unit (ICU) mortality after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods retrospectively reviewed and analyzed data from 133 patients younger than 3 months old who underwent cardiac surgery CPB June 2017 November 2019. ICU prediction was...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of persistent organochlorine compounds that have the potential to disrupt the homeostasis of thyroid hormones (THs) in fish, particularly juveniles. In this study, thyroid histology, plasma TH levels, and iodothyronine deiodinase (IDs, including ID1, ID2, and ID3) gene expression patterns were examined in juvenile Japanese flounder (Paralichthys oliv...

BACKGROUND From animal studies it is known that currently used pesticides can disturb thyroid function. METHODS In the present study we investigated the thyroid function in 122 Danish greenhouse workers, to evaluate if greenhouse workers classified as highly exposed to pesticides experiences altered thyroid levels compared to greenhouse workers with lower exposure. Serum samples from the gree...

BACKGROUND Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is the main transporter of thyroid hormones in human serum, encoded by the gene TBG (SERPINA7), located in long arm of X-chromosome (Xq21-q22). Deficiency of SERPINA7 (serum protease inhibitor, clade A [alpha-1 antiproteinase, antitrypsin], member 7) leads to inherited TBG deficiency. Several mutations have been reported in the coding and noncoding re...

OBJECTIVES This study is to assess the prognostic value of (99m)Tc-pertechnetate thyroid scintigraphy for predicting the outcomes of fixed low dose of radioiodine therapy (RIT) in a cohort of Chinese Graves' disease (GD) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of GD patients who received RIT with a single dose of radioiodine (5 mCi). All the patients received (99m)Tc-per...

Introduction: The mechanisms involved in the virulence and recurrences of ocular toxoplasmosis are poorly understood. New detection methods are necessary to diagnose atypical cases and to better understand recurrences. A sensitive method to identify Toxoplasma gondii in peripheral blood of patients is necessary. Purpose: To detect the presence of T. gondii in peripheral human blood using immuno...
