Thyroid storm represents the extreme manifestation of thyrotoxicosis as a true endocrine emergency. Although Grave's disease is the most common underlying disorder in thyroid storm, there is usually a precipitating event or condition that transform the patient into life-threatening thyrotoxicosis. Treatment of thyroid storm involves decreasing new hormone synthesis, inhibiting the release of th...

Cooccurrences of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) and thyroid cancer (DTC) have been repeatedly reported. Both CLT and DTC, mainly papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), share some epidemiological and molecular features. In fact, thyroid lymphocytic inflammatory reaction has been observed in association with PTC at variable frequency, although the precise relationship between the two diseases ...

BACKGROUND Riedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare form of chronic thyroiditis, associated with fibroinflammatory process involving the thyroid and surrounding cervical tissues, leading to compressive symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of RT in a 73-year-old female with dyspnoea caused by severe trachea compression. She had reported dyspnoea during physical stress, and had noticed a la...

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of thyroid gland pathology on macro and trace elements of teeth. Methods: We examined two groups of patients: healthy patients and patients with thyroid disorders. The sample was comprised of 32 extracted teeth for orthodontic and periodontal indications from patients 18 to 50 years old. The changes in macro and micro trac...

Congenital hypothyroidism, defined as the functional deficiency of thyroid hormones present at birth, is the most frequent endocrine disorder in pediatric patients with an incidence estimated in 1:2,0004,000 newborns. Significantly, iodide deficiency still remains as the leading cause of hypothyroidism at birth [1]. However, in iodidesufficient countries, a number of recent studies indicates th...

In the past decade, emphasis has shifted from testing of thyroid function in individuals who are likely to have a thyroid disorder to a broader population, an approach that identifies so-called subclinical thyroid dysfunction in up to 10% of women over fifty. The key assays that are used to detect thyroid dysfunction are serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and the main circulating thyroid h...

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder that is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity and variable clinical features. The magnitude of RTH is caused by mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta) gene. We recently treated a 38-yr-old woman with RTH who had incidental papillary thyroid carcinoma. She presented with goiter and displayed ...

Background Type one diabetes mellitus (Type 1 DM) is the most common type of diabetes in children and adolescents, arising through a complex interaction of immune, genetic and environmental factors. Autoimmune thyroid disease is the most frequent disorder associated with Type one diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to evaluate incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease in children and adolescents ...

Sir The risk of developing thyroid dysfunction is higher in Turner syndrome (TS) than the general population 1,2 . In previous studies, the influence of karyotype 3 and thyroid autoantibodies 4 on thyroid disorder in patients with TS has been investigated. We therefore set out to determine the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in Irish girls with TS. The impact of underlying karyotype and thyro...

The thyroid gland plays a very important role in hormonal regulation the human body. If has disorder, it can affect performance of body functions. development artificial intelligence technology today allows an expert such as doctor to be helped by his work. One roles is helping doctors, among others, diagnose patient determine appropriate post-diagnosis care. study aims shed light on treatment ...
