Clinical evidence of a thyroid disorder was present in 10 out of 40 patients with Addison's disease. Though the remaining 30 patients had no clinical evidence of thyroid disease, six (out of 15 tested) had thyroid microsomal antibodies and a considerably impaired response to thyrotrophin. These changes are interpreted as very early indications of developing thyroid failure. When circulating mic...

Mood disorders and circulating thyroid antibodies are very prevalent in the population and their concomitant occurrence may be due to chance. However, thyroid antibodies have been repeatedly hypothesized to play a role in specific forms of mood disorders. Potentially related forms include treatment-refractory cases, severe or atypical depression, and depression at specific phases of a woman's l...

Introduction: Thyroid is an endocrine gland which affected by various types of pathology including non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions. The disease burden very high in costal areas India Himalaya areas. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) important mode initial diagnosis diseases the gland. study was conducted tribal Odisha to find clinical features cytomorphological finding thyroid. Me...

Advances in thyroid disorder diagnosis have created new thyroid disorder categories such as subclinical hyperthyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism. In the 1980s, immunometric assaying for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) emerged and became defined as the most cost-effective test in thyroid disorder screening. The second step in the screening of thyroid disorders is to determine free thyrox...

BACKGROUND This study aims to provide a reference for the diagnosis of iodine deficiency disorder by evaluating the normal thyroid iodine content by energy spectrum computed tomography (CT) and calculating the iodine content ratio of thyroid to sternocleidomastoid. METHODS The thyroid glands of 226 patients were scanned by energy spectrum CT, and the images were analyzed using the GSI Viewer ...

Thyroid hemiagenesis is an infrequent congenital disorder which is rarely associated with hyperparathyroidism. We present a case of an adult woman who presented with hyperparathyroidism and ipsilateral thyroid hemiagenesis. Parathyroid adenoma was excised by minimal invasive parathyroidectomy.

The pathophysiology of thyroid dysgenesis remains unclear and, until recently, this disorder was generally regarded as sporadic. However, a small but significant proportion of familial cases have been identified (2%) through the study of subjects with congenital hypothyroidism, and more recent work has revealed an even higher proportion of familial thyroid dysgenesis in both symptomatic and asy...

One hundred and sixteen children with Down's syndrome, living in the community, were examined for clinical or laboratory evidence of thyroid dysfunction. Three were hypothyroid and one was hyperthyroid. Twenty eight (29%) had thyroid autoantibodies. Autoimmune conditions were present in first or second degree relatives of 35 (30%) of the children, and in 17 (15%) this was a thyroid disorder. Th...

Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder resulting from deficiency of thyroid hormone or its effects on peripheral tissues. It usually is caused by an insufficient production of thyroid hormone by thyroid gland (primary hypothyroidism), but it could be also caused by inadequate secretion of either thyrotropin (ie. thyroid-stimulating hormoneTSH) from the pituitary gland (secondary hypothyr...

Thyroid dysplasia was recognized in WistarHan GALAS rats and confirmed as a heritable congenital disorder. The gene or genes involved were not identified, but homozygous animals with thyroid dysplasia also exhibited stunted growth, had reduced pituitary gland growth hormone (GH) and were hypothyroid. Heterozygous animals exhibited thyroid dysplasia with normal thyroid hormonal homeostasis and n...
