Motor unit estimating techniques have been employed as part of a comprehensive electrophysiological survey of peripheral nerve and muscle in 20 patients with thyrotoxicosis. In all patients there was evidence of a loss of operational motor units; the selective nature of this involvement suggested that the motoneurone soma was the site of the primary lesion. The reversible nature of the postulat...

Thyrotoxicosis with diffuse thyroid disease can be caused by Graves' disease (GD) or destructive thyroiditis (DT). Optimal treatment of the underlying condition requires a prompt and accurate method for the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis. This study evaluated measurement of the mean peak systolic velocity of the superior thyroid artery (STA-PSV) by ultrasonography in detecting thyrotoxicosis in Ja...

Thyroid disease is a common condition, and thyroid hormone excess or deficiency is known to have wide-ranging effects on a variety of organ systems. Our objective is to describe the magnitude, biochemical features, and clinical characteristics of hepatic abnormalities in patients with acute thyrotoxicosis. We performed a retrospective review of all patients admitted to our institution between J...

Background: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a treatment method that can be used to provide euthyroidism before permanent in patients with severe thyrotoxicosis, cases of thyroid storm and where antithyroid drug (ATD) cannot due side effects or ineffectiveness. This study presented our results experience on TPE thyrotoxic patients.
 Material Methods: The data 10 who underwent plasmaphe...

In this study, the risk of iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis in unselected patients from an iodine-deficient area was investigated. The patients were consecutively enrolled. Thyroid hormone values and urinary iodine excretion were determined before, as well as 1, 4 and 12 weeks after iodine contamination by coronary angiography. Two of 788 unselected patients developed hyperthyroidism within 12 wee...

A total of 23 patients with psychoses associated with thyrotoxicosis were admitted to the psychiatric unit of a University Hospital over a l S-year period, of which 20 patients were included in this retrospective study. It was found that a parallel relationship between thyrotoxicosis and psychosis appears to exist in six patients, while in the remaining 14 patients, the course of the two diseas...

Objectives. To describe 2 cases of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. Methods. We report of 2 cases of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in 2 individuals from 2 different backgrounds with emphasis on their presentation and treatment. We also conducted a literature search to put together an update review of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis. Results. A 47-year-old Chinese and 28-year-old Caucasian male pres...

Article Low serum TSH in the acute phase of COVID-19 pneumonia: thyrotoxicosis or a face “non-thyroidal illness syndrome”? was published on October 1, 2021 journal Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) (volume 59, issue 11).

Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for bone development. Altered TH levels such as hyperthyroidism, or thyrotoxicosis, results in the early maturation of cartilaginous scaffold long development, which can cause improper ossification. Maternal hyperthyroidism during embryonic development causes neonatal thyrotoxicosis and therefore lead to stunted growth infants. In our avian model induced we inj...
