BACKGROUND In 2004, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence to recommend thyroid screening. PURPOSE To update the 2004 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force review on the benefits and harms of screening and treatment of subclinical and undiagnosed overt hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism in adults without goiter or thyroid nodules. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE and Cochrane...

BACKGROUND Nitrate is a widespread contaminant of drinking water supplies, especially in agricultural areas. Nitrate intake from drinking water and dietary sources can interfere with the uptake of iodide by the thyroid, thus potentially impacting thyroid function. METHODS We assessed the relation of estimated nitrate levels in well water supplies with thyroid health in a cohort of 2,543 Old O...

We report a 55-year-old female who presented with trochanteric fracture of right femur. Examination and investigation revealed a huge retrosternal goiter with compression of great vessels which was asymptomatic for more than two decades. Subsequent investigation confirmed it as a case of toxic multinodular goitre with subclinical hyperthyroidism which is the possible cause of secondary osteopor...

Aim of this survey is to report the most recent views about Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) natural history according to the different presentations. In children presenting with either euthyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism HT spontaneous course is frequently characterized by a trend towards deterioration of thyroid function, whereas in those presenting with overt hyperthyroidism a definitive ...

Aim: The aim of the study is to determine frequency first-trimester thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women and investigate effect on some perinatal outcomes.
 Material Method: In study, Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4 T3 values who applied our outpatient clinic were retrospectively scanned recorded. As a result, 3224 included study. Pregnant evaluated as overt hypothyroidism, sub...

BACKGROUND Various abnormalities of haemostasis have been described in patients with hyperthyroidism. The results of different studies point to the underlying thyroid disease, especially severity of hyperthyroidism and autoimmune processes, as important factors contributing to coagulation-fibrinolytic balance. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between hyperthyroidis...

the Impasse T dysfunction is common, and both insufficient and excess thyroid hormone can cause myriad systemic effects resulting in symptoms and, in extreme cases, serious illness and even death. There are sensitive and specific blood tests to diagnose thyroid dysfunction and readily available therapies to treat it. This supports the potential utility of screening. In this issue, the U.S. Prev...

Background Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder during pregnancy, associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of subclinical among pregnant women who presented our hospital between 2020 2022. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted on 589 using convenience sampling. Only underwent thyroid function testing had no...

BACKGROUND There have been few large epidemiological studies examining the association between thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. In particular, it is uncertain if subclinical hypothyroidism is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. METHODS Serum thyrotropin and free thyroxine concentrations were measured in 2108 archived serum samples from a 1981 community health survey in Bu...
