Filter by:Patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism are often combined with atrial fibrillation, but after the stabilization of thyroid hormone levels after treatment, the patients' atrial fibrillation still persists. Radiofrequency ablation of the atrial fibrillation as one of the treatment options for atrial fibrillation has been widely used in the clinic, and has significant efficacy in maintaining sinus rhythm, improving cardiac function, and improving the prognosis of patients. However, there is a lack of clinical monitoring data on radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients who have combined thyroid dysfunction and have stabilized their thyroid hormone levels after treatment.
Previous studies have proved that the lytic reactivation of latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was significantly associated with the onset of Graves'disease (GD), however, the morbidity of GD and recurrence rate of hyperthyroidism after antithyroid drugs treatment due to lytic reactivation of EBV is not understood. We will recruit patients with newly diagnosed GD and recurrence of hyperthyroidism after antithyroid drugs treatment. In order to confirm lytic reactivation of EBV, the number of EBV DNA copies，mRNA and protein expression of immediate-early, early and late lytic EBV genes，EBV +TRAb+cells will be tested. The proportion of lytic reactivation of EBV in newly diagnosed GD and recurrence of hyperthyroidism was evaluated.
Hypothyroidism (HoT) treatment involves lifelong thyroxine replacement therapy and regular monitoring. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of clinical pharmacist (CP) intervention in managing drug-related problems (DRPs) on outcomes among hypothyroid patients receiving levothyroxine (LT4) therapy.
Insulin resistance and its relation to hyperthyrodism and Hypothyroidism
This is a pilot, single-center, prospective, open-label clinical investigation of a medical device (ambulatory gamma camera " MoTI " (Mobile Therapy Imager)) for patients with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic nodule and toxic multiheteronodular goiter) for whom 131I treatment is indicated. Its aim is to assess the feasibility of using this ambulatory gamma camera (MoTI) in the clinic in this patient population. The camera will be used to measure the 131I uptake/fixation rates during the thyroid scintigraphy. 20 patients will be included in the study.
Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease with a high incidence rate, and some patients are difficult to effectively control the condition after long-term drug treatment, and the disease recurs, forming refractory hyperthyroidism. The search for a new safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment has become a research hotspot. Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is a hot spot in clinical research due to its advantages of low trauma, high safety, precise inactivation of lesions, and multiple ablation. However, there is no unified standard for the number and scope of ablation in the treatment of refractory hyperthyroidism by radiofrequency ablation, and there is a lack of data on the effectiveness and safety of the treatment with large samples and long-term effects. Therefore, how to establish a standardized treatment strategy and appropriate plan for ablation of refractory hyperthyroidism based on clinical practice is an urgent problem to be solved. The purpose of this study was to prospectively include refractory hyperthyroidism for ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperthyroidism ablation by comparing the changes in symptoms and signs, serology, and imaging of patients before and after ablation. The relevant factors affecting the efficacy of ablation were analyzed and the most appropriate ablation scope was determined. Radiofrequency ablation was retrospectively compared with traditional surgery and 131I treatment, and the near- and medium-term treatment effects, incidence of adverse reactions and complications, as well as the economic benefits and sociopsychological differences of the three treatment methods were compared. The expected outcome of this study is to establish a research cohort of hyperthyroidism ablation based on a large sample population, and to establish the most appropriate and effective regimen for radiofrequency ablation of refractory hyperthyroidism compared with traditional surgery and 131I treatment with safety and near- and medium-term efficacy. The Department of Ultrasound Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital has accumulated rich experience in the ablation treatment of benign and malignant thyroid nodules and hyperthyroidism, and has completed more than 200 cases of thyroid ablation in the past two years. Under the leadership of Professor Zhang Bo, the research team of this project has conducted a number of clinical studies on the ultrasound diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases, presided over and participated in more than 20 national, provincial and university-level scientific research courses, and the first author or corresponding author wrote more than 70 articles in related fields, which laid a solid research foundation for the conduct of this study.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the correlation between COVID-19 and hyperthyroidism in Patients with hyperthyroidism complicated with COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are： - The main research object is Graves disease (GD) patients. - Changes of hyperthyroidism in GD patients complicated with COVID-19 - Changes of anxiety and depression in GD patients before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection. - The effect of psychological intervention in GD patients after COVID-19. Participants will have regular follow-upfor one year to hyperthyroidism in our hospital, and the investigators will collect the thyroid function and related examination indexes of patients in the corresponding time period.
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of using a mobile app that integrates with wearable devices to monitor heart rate, check self-reported symptoms, provide disease-related information, and set medication reminders for patients with thyrotoxicosis. The study intends to evaluate how the use of the app affects disease progression, quality of life, and health-related behaviors associated with the disease.
The evaluation of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) has become a possible predictor of the future risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Evidence to date shows that cIMT augmentation is correlated with the extent of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries and with other risk factors for CVD. More recently, several studies have evaluated the association of cIMT with stroke, to determine whether this measure can also predict future cardiovascular events. Although the published evidence is scarce and fragmentary, the cIMT retains an increasingly interesting role as a marker of atherosclerotic pathology. The purpose of the study is to analyze cIMT in patients undergoing thyroidectomy to evaluate a possible correlation between the cIMT variation after the procedure and the cause of the thyroid disease, the levels of thyroid hormones, and the lipid or other markers of atherosclerosis levels. The primary endpoint will be the variation of the measure of the cIMT before and after surgery. Secondary endpoints will be: - major cardiovascular adverse events (death, major stroke, minor stroke, transient ischemic attack) in the short-term period (≤30 days after the procedure); - major cardiovascular adverse events (death, major stroke, minor stroke, transient ischemic attack) in the long-term period (>30 days after the procedure); - the technical success of the procedure; - the rate of postoperative complications. To date, there are no data that differentiate patients based on the causes of thyroid disease. The results of the present study will allow for correlating the variation of the cIMT to the causes of thyroid disease, the levels of thyroid hormones, and the levels of lipid and other markers of atherosclerosis. Results from the present study may provide insights into possible areas of quality improvement. It may also influence the economic impact associated with carotid revascularization techniques, in terms of hospital charges and discharges to skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities.
Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Multiple sclerosis patients are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether multiple sclerosis patients have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in patients with hyperthyroidism.
