Abstract Background Glucocorticoid treatment is used in children with Graves’ disease (GD) only cases of exophthalmos. The purpose this study was to observe the effects glucocorticoid pulse therapy on thyroid function and antibodies GD. Methods Twenty who were treated by intravenous methylprednisolone (MPT) followed oral prednisolone administration antithyroid drugs included group. alone contro...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) remains the most common cause of acquired hypothyroidism. There is currently no therapy that is capable of regenerating CAT-damaged thyroid tissue. The objective of this study was to gauge the value of applying low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in CAT patients based on both ultrasound studies (USs) and evaluations of thyroid function a...

BACKGROUND Evaluation of thyroid function in neonates born from mothers affected by autoimmune thyroiditis in order to define if a precise follow-up is necessary for these children. The influence of maternal thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and L-thyroxine therapy during pregnancy on neonatal thyroid function was also investigated. METHODS 129 neonates were tested for thyroid function by m...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between maternal subclinical thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity with the risk for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).Design is a systematic review and meta-analysis.A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane database. A combination of 2 key words was used to search for the eligible studies: one indexed t...

Objectives: To establish the prevalence and incidence of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy in a tertiary care center Bangladesh. Methodology: 749 cases were randomly selected among pregnant women who reported to antenatal clinic. Later 121 excluded as they already diagnosed disorder. The rest investigated for stimulating hormone (TSH) if required then also free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyrox...

To evaluate the post- coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outcome of thyroid function in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related thyrotoxicosis. This was a single-center prospective study involving 29 (11 females, 18 males; median age 64 years, range: 43–85) thyrotoxicosis diagnosed after hospitalization for COVID-19 and then followed-up period 90 days (range: 30–12...

Background Studies suggest that thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) positivity exposure during pregnancy may contribute to changes in placental morphology and pathophysiology. However, little is known about the association of maternal TPOAb with cytokines. This study focuses on effect repeated measurements Methods Based Ma’anshan Birth Cohort (MABC) China, levels were retrospectively detected f...

We hypothesized that regulation of visfatin in hypothyroidism might be altered by coexisting chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. This is a prospective case-control study of 118 subjects. The autoimmune study group (AIT) consisted of 39 patients newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism in a course of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. The nonautoimmune study group (TT) consisted of 40 patients thyroidectomi...

BACKGROUND Despite the many studies examining thyroid cancers, the effect of thyroid autoantibodies on differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between serologic thyroid autoantibodies (ATAs) and DTC, we retrospectively evaluated data of thyroid nodules obtained from patients who underwent thyroid surgery. METHODS Data of thyroid nodul...
