Filter by:The study aims to compare the mean change in Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels among patients with hypothyroidism treated with an increased dose of L-thyroxine (treatment group) versus standard/regular dose of L-thyroxine (control group) during the month of Ramadan.
Hypothyroidism (HT) is one of the most common endocrine diseases. It is, however, usually challenging for physicians to diagnose due to non-specific symptoms. The usual procedure for diagnosis of HT is a blood test. In recent years, machine learning algorithms have proved to be powerful tools in medicine due to their diagnostic accuracy. In this study, we aim to predict and identify the most important symptoms of HT using machine learning algorithms.
the goal of this randomize clinical trial is to compare in 60 infertile women with hypothyroidism. selected from national Nutritional institute out clinic. the main question it aims to answer is: • There an effect of acupuncture and low caloric diet on primary hypothyroidism and irregular menstruation in infertile women. all participants were received• thyroxine tablets (levothyroxine) • a low caloric diet regime. researchers compared study group (30 infertile women with hypothyroidism) to see the effect of acupuncture sections on hypothyroidism.
Thyroid hormones (TH) can modify the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, affecting the functions of granulosa cells and the development and apoptosis of preantral follicles. TH receptors are present within the oocytes, and TH and anti-thyroid antibodies (ATA) are present in the follicular fluid. Improper thyroid function can cause ovulation disorders, luteal phase failure, impaired endometrial receptivity and result in implantation failures and recurrent miscarriages. While overt hypothyroidism is treated to improve fertility, the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and the presence of circulating ATAs on fertility and obstetric outcomes is uncertain and data on ovarian reserve rates are conflicting. Among the causes of ovulation disorders (group II according to the WHO classification), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) dominates, found in 3-15% of women of reproductive age, and the remaining group of causes is the so-called Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Ovarian Axis Dysfunction (HPOD). The exact etiology of both entities is unknown.
Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with a high prevalence and several comorbidities impacting on public health and society. Among the complications of T2DM it has been showed a high prevalence of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Even if hypogonadism is associated to a worse metabolic profile and cardiovascular risk, it is discussed whether and when to treat this potentially reversible form associated to diabetes. In fact, the pathogenic mechanism of this condition in diabetic patients is not fully understood, and its clinical correlates, including the prevalence of other possible associated hypothalamic-pituitary axes dysfunctioning, questioned. The aim of the present study is to assess with an observational, cross sectional study on a large series of type 2 diabetic patients, enrolled consecutively: all the suspected etiologies of this complication in one single evaluation (both acquired and genetic congenital predisposition), its clinical correlates and the real prevalence of the disease using the lastly validated criteria for late onset hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
This is a longitudinal retrospective study for the evaluation of thyroid function and structure in patients with Klinefelter syndrome compared to healthy controls and patients affected by chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.
The thyroid gland has been shown to be a common target for COVID 19 virus. Babies born to mothers positive for COVID 19 infections were noticed to have elevated thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH ) levels on screening. Thyroid function tests were monitored in these babies to determine presence of temporary or permanent thyroid disorders following COVID 19 infections during pregnancy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the risk-benefit profile of long-term treatment of two different initials treatment schemes with L-T4 on the neurodevelopmental and auxological outcomes in children with congenital hypothyroidism, diagnosed by neonatal screening in order to find the best dose of initial thyroid hormone replacement to assure the best long-term developmental outcome without any adverse effects on auxological, cardiovascular and skeletal outcomes. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the role of other factors that, in addition to the initial L-T4 therapy,can influence long-term neurodevelopmental and auxological outcomes as well as the cardiovascular system and bone metabolism outcomes.
There is still limited knowledge regarding the clinical profile and appropriateness of treatment in patients with hypothyroidism hospitalized in Internal Medicine (IM) Departments in Italy. The aim of this study is to evaluate: 1) the characteristics of patients and possible deviations from national and international clinical practice recommendations (CPRs) in evidence-based guidelines (EBGs); 2) the improvement of patient management by means of a standardized educational programme (EP). Methods: A nationwide multicentre study, comprising two replications of a retrospective survey (phases 1 and 3) with an intervening EP (phase 2) in half of the centres and no EP in the other half, was conducted. The EP was based on outreach visits. Centres were assigned to the two arms of the study, labelled the training group (TG) and control group (CG) respectively, by cluster randomization.
The study series consists of three studies with the aim to assess the incidence, prevalence, risk factors, comorbidities and management of patients with alopecia areata in Czech Republic based on the patients and registry of a dermatology clinic of a metropolitan hospital.
