males are more strongly predisposed than females. Our study may underestimate the incidence of thyroid dysfunction, since no thyroid function tests were available for 59 individuals. It is possible (although intuitively improbable) that the apparent excess of AAT among men could be caused by selective failure to detect biochemical thyrotoxicosis among the women rather than the men who did not h...

Pregnancy is associated with significant but reversible changes in thyroid function tests results, which are among the most profound seen as a result of a normal physiologic state. The present study was carried out to find out alterations in thyroid function tests in each trimester in normal pregnant women as compared to non-pregnant women. Methods: A case-control study designed with two groups...

INTRODUCTION Studies demonstrated that abnormal thyroid functions may result in decreased or increased kidney size, kidney weight, and affect renal functions. In this regard, studies on the association of abnormal thyroid functions and renal function tests are scarcely found in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE To assess renal function and electrolytes in patients with thyroid dysfunction, in Addis Ababa, ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of behaviour changing interventions targeting ordering of thyroid function tests. DESIGN Systematic review. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Database up to May 2015. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES We included studies evaluating the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions aiming to reduce ordering of thyroid function...

Our study aims to clarify the population nutrient status in locations with different levels of iodine in the water in China; to choose effective measurements of water improvement(finding other drinking water source of iodine not excess) or non-iodised salt supply or combinations thereof; to classify the areas of elevated water iodine levels and the areas with endemic goiter; and to evaluate the...

Advances in understanding the physiology of thyroid function in normal pregnancy have highlighted the importance of the consequences of abnormal function on obstetric outcome and foetal well-being. Pubmed search was done using the terms thyroid and pregnancy. Areas of agreement are the following: gestational normative reference ranges for thyroid function tests are required for proper interpret...

Previous studies have shown that injection of iodized oil in pregnant women can be used as a prophylactic strategy for iodine deficiency disorders and may improve the growth indices of their offspring. Since administration of pharmacological doses of iodine may lead occasionally to large goiter and rarely to hypothyroidism, in the present study the thyroid function tests of neonates and inf...

background: in this study we evaluated the incidence of hypothyroidism in patients who received external beam radiation due to cancer, when radiation portals included thyroid gland. methods: this prospective study was conducted from april 2004 to december 2005 among patients with head and neck or breast malignancies who referred to radiation oncology department of cancer institute, imam khomein...
