Introduction: Thyroid dysfunction is among the most common autoimmune disorders in women of reproductive age. Previous studies have shown the association between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and infertility. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by granulosa cells and is a useful marker for assessment of ovarian reserve. In the present study, we sought to evaluate the ovarian reserves o...

Sixteen cases of transient infantile hyperthyrotrophinaemia were followed up for two to seven years. Concentrations of serum triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and free thyroxine were maintained within the normal range in all cases. All but one child, who had a hearing disturbance, showed normal mental development with normal physical and skeletal maturation. Eleven children had normal concentrations...

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is one of the key indicators in diagnosis thyroid gland functional disorders. Minor changes TSH concentration make it possible to suspect dysfunction even before clinical manifestations, which increases value correct and timely measurement it. In practice, an endocrinologist often encounter well-known phenomenon macroprolactinemia; a much less common macrotyrot...

ABSTRACT: Hypothyroidism is rarely observed in cats. This article reports the case of a thirteen-year-old feline with one-year history bilateral cervical swelling that had majorly grown size two weeks prior to animal’s admission. The cat presented dysphonia, lethargy, weight gain, and constipation. On physical examination, hypothermia was observed, rectal temperature 36.5 ºC. Fine-needle aspira...

Changes in thyroid function may occur during treatment with amiodarone. A double blind prospective trial of amiodarone and placebo was performed in 37 patients in the subacute phase of myocardial infarction. Though none of the patients assigned to receive placebo developed any antibody, six of 13 patients treated with amiodarone developed antithyroid microsomal antibodies. There was no differen...

This study included 27 female patients who applied for medical treatment of arthralgias and myalgias. They were found to have elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone in conjunction with the normal concentrations of thyroid hormones. The therapeutic procedures included corporal and auricular acupuncture, introduction of needles into the reflexogenic scalp and wrist zones (depending on cli...

background: the predictive roles of follicle stimulating hormone (fsh), anti-mullerian hormone (amh) and antral follicle count (afc) as ovarian reserve markers in women with different age groups are not established well. objective: this study compares the value of fsh, amh and afc at the time of     in vitro fertilization (ivf) treatment in different age groups. materials and methods: in this c...

Thyroid hormone state was assessed in a group of postmenopausal women who had received long term treatment with oestrogen. Serum concentrations of total thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and thyroxine binding globulin were raised compared with those in a control group given placebo; serum concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone did not differ between the groups. Oestrogen treatment resulted in...

The association between TSH and serum lipids in people with no apparent thyroid dysfunction is less understood. We have investigated the association between normal thyroid function, defined as TSH within the reference range and serum lipids concentrations. Cross-sectional, population based study with 1785 individuals without known thyroid dysfunction. We calculated mean concentrations of total ...
