OBJECTIVE Subclinical hyperthyroidism has long-term sequelae that include osteoporosis, cardiovascular morbidity, and progression to overt thyrotoxicosis or thyroid failure. The objective of this study was to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and normal free thyroxine (fT(4)) levels. METHODS All women who presented to Parkland Hospital for ...

BACKGROUND Although the etiology of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) is still unclear, a common theme with BPS/IC patients is comorbid disorders which are related to the autonomic nervous system that connects the nervous system to end-organs. Nevertheless, no study to date has reported the association between hyperthyroidism and BPS/IC. In this study, we examined the associa...

Graves’ disease has many extrathyroidal manifestations. In the literature, bilateral pretibial pitting edema in hyperthyroidism cases been reported a few case reports. current presentation, we report of Graves who had leg and hand swelling for two weeks whose findings regressed rapidly with treatment. Diffuse, edema, which may occur due to etiologies, should also be considered differential diag...

Thyroid hormone stimulates cardiac inotropy and chronotropy via direct genomic non-genomic mechanisms. Hyperthyroidism magnifies these effects, resulting in an increase heart rate, ejection fraction blood volume. also affects thrombogenesis this may be linked to a probable tendency toward thrombosis patients with hyperthyroidism. Patients hyperthyroidism are therefore at higher risk for atrial ...

Thyroiditis should be in the differential for hyperthyroidism when thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is suppressed and T3/T4 levels are elevated. Suspicion of further increased patient can exhibit symptoms such as weight loss, anxiety, feeling feverish, tremors, shaking, sweating. Hyperthyroidism generally classified being overt or subclinical. In following case, had which considered more sever...

OBJECTIVE An increasing incidence of hyperthyroidism has been observed when iodine supplementation has been introduced to an iodine-deficient population. Moreover, the influence of chronic more than adequate or excessive iodine intake on the epidemiological features of hyperthyroidism has not been widely and thoroughly described. To investigate the influences of different iodine intake levels o...

AIMS To examine the long-term risk of hyperthyroidism in patients admitted to hospital with new-onset AF. Hyperthyroidism is a well-known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is unknown whether new-onset AF predicts later-occurring hyperthyroidism. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients admitted with new-onset AF in Denmark from 1997-2009, and their present and subsequent use of anti-th...

OBJECTIVE The evidence that stress may provoke Graves' hyperthyroidism in genetically susceptible subjects is substantial. Whether exposure to stress is related to the severity of thyrotoxicosis has not been studied. Advancing age is associated with not only less severe Graves' hyperthyroidism but also self-reported stress. We tested the hypothesis whether advancing age is associated with less ...
