Filter by:Study's objectives are to determine proportion of melasma cases in hyperthyroid patients and to compare severity of melasma before and after medications of three months hyperthyroid therapy using modified melasma area and severity index (mMASI) score. A quasi experimental (pre-post intervention) study was conducted in Jakarta in August 2019-February 2020.
The proper synthesis of thyroid hormones is dependent on adequate iodine supply. The mean daily iodine intake recommended by World Health Organization is 150 mg. Iodinated contrast medium (ICM) typically contains 13 500 mg of free iodine and 15-60 g of bound iodine, an amount well above acceptable upper level. In a situation of excess iodine, thyroid discontinues the release of hormones (Wolff-Chaikoff effect), which is usually transient, although can persist causing hypothyroidism. Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism (IIH), known as the Jod-Basedow phenomenon is infrequent, but elderly patients and individuals with autonomously functioning nodular goiters are at higher risk of developing this dysfunction. According to recent studies the risk of ICM-induced hyperthyroidism appears to be low. The prevalence has not been well assessed and varies from 1 % to 10 %. Currently, there are no specific guidelines concerning the prophylactic therapy of IIH. American Thyroid Association (ATA) does not recommend routine administration of antithyroid drugs before iodinated contrast medium for all patients, however, advises to consider prophylaxis in patients at high risk of developing IIH or with cardiovascular comorbidities. ATA recommends avoidance of additional iodine and administration of b-blockers alone or with antithyroid drugs as a treatment of IIH, depending on the severity of hyperthyroidism. This study was performed to evaluate the influence of ICM on thyroid status and advantages of prophylactic therapy during ICM exposure in patients with euthyroid goiter and cardiovascular comorbidities. The association between the incidence of IIH and thyroid volume was also assessed.
Currently, both the American Thyroid Association and the European Thyroid Association recommend the use of Lugol Solution (LS) in the preparation of patients undergoing thyroidectomy for Graves' disease (GD), but their recommendations are based on a low level of evidence. This means that its use is not generalized among the different endocrine surgery units. Methods: Study population: 270 patients (135 patients in each arms) undergoing total thyroidectomy (TT) due to GD in Spanish hospitals, which perform a minimum of 100 thyroidectomies a year, at least 10 of them for GD. Variables: Preoperative variables - Demographic variables: birthdate, gender and ethnicity. - Drugs allergies. Allergy to iodine. - Personal history and usual treatment. - Aspects related to the GD: date of diagnosis, use of AT drugs and/or radioiodine, existence of ophthalmopathy, existence of cervical compression symptoms and indication of surgery. - Physical exploration: body mass index, pulse at rest and blood pressure and cervical palpation. - Laboratory tests: hematocrit, leukocytes, neutrophils, platelets, international normalized ratio(INR), creatinine, potassium, total calcium, albumin, total proteins, parathormone (PTH), 25-hydroxide-vitamin D, free T4 and / or free T3, TSH, thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI). - Classification of the anesthetic risk of ASA. - Cervical ultrasound: existence of thyroid nodules and volume of the thyroid. - Mobility of the vocal cords evaluated by laryngoscopy. - Compliance with assigned treatment: the patient assigned to the LS arm must have consumed at least 80% of the total dose indicated. Intraoperative variables - Surgical time. - Antibiotic prophylaxis - Intraoperative hemorrhage. - Thyroidectomy Difficulty Scale. - Loss of electromyographic signal during neural intraoperative monitorization. - Accidental parathyroidectomy. - Section or obvious lesion of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. - Trachea or esophagus perforation. - Weight of the gland. - Electrosurgical hemostasis system used during the intervention. - Maneuvers used to check hemostasis. - Hemostats used during the intervention. - Use of drainage. - Definitive surgical technique: TT, unilateral or bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy or hemithyroidectomy. Postoperative variables - Early complications: hypoparathyroidism, paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, postoperative hematoma, surgical site infection or death. - Debit for surgical drains. - Postoperative hospital long of stay. - Anatomopathological variables: histological diagnosis compatible with GD and existence of parathyroid glands in the surgical specimen. - Long-term complications: hypocalcemia and/or permanent vocal cord paralysis longer than 6 months
"Early paediatric Basedow disease is one of the rare endocrine diseases for which the Reference Centre for Rare Endocrine Growth Diseases, was approved by the Ministry of Health in 2005. In addition, the study will benefit from the expertise of public Health France (SFP). This study is therefore part of the missions of these partners (reference centre for endocrine growth diseases and Public Health France). For several years, our group has been interested in defining the evolutionary profile of these patients. A national study on short- and long-term patient follow-up has already been conducted, which has been the subject of two international publications29,30, as well as a study on a specific clinical form of the disease 24. This work was made possible thanks to the collaboration of paediatric clinical centres within the Reference Centre and Competence Centre for Rare Endocrine Diseases Network. The present study planned in France will make it possible to accurately characterize the care pathway and the frequency of complications associated with it at the national level.
The aim of this study is to develop a metabolome signature of thyroid hormone status. The metabolome signature could be useful in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction diseases, especially in cases where TSH cannot be reliably used.
Thyroid diseases are pathologies that frequently affect pregnant women causing serious complications. This current research aims to find out whether the expression of TSHβX1 splice variant and D2 Thr92Ala polymorphism in the DIO2 gene are associated with thyroid disease in Mexican pregnant women.
To clarify the influence of iodine intake in salt on the incidence and treatment of hyperthyroidism patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for accurate formulation of iodine intake in salt, and provide strategies for effective prevention and control of hyperthyroidism.
The half-life of the parathyroid hormone is about 4min, blood pth test is use in operation to confirm that parathyroid tumor is removed. but the blood pth test is time consuming and unpractical in most of hospital. this study will compare the application of rapid PTH test paper in operation of hyperparathyroidism.PTH test were measured in operation in different way. it will test at the time of preoperation, 15 minutes after surgery, 1 hour after surgery and 24 hours after surgery. thus evaluate the reliability and accuracy of PTH test paper in evaluating the Miami principles with the linear relation of blood PTH and the PTH test paper method.
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the short term effects of Propanolol on heart rate variability in patients with hyperthyroidism. Design: In ten patients newly diagnosed as having hyperthyroidism and naïve of all treatment specific for hyperthyroidism, we evaluated the short term effects of Propanolol on heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: We measured heart rate variability by power spectral analysis during 2 hours of rest and during Ewing's tests before and after the administration of Propanolol 40mg/12 hours orally for 72 hours.
The overall objective of the HEAT study is to determine the acute effect of propranolol on energy expenditure in patients suffering from hyperthyroidism and to evaluate the consequences of the change of hyper- to euthyroidism on metabolism during the course of treatment, especially with regard to the reaction to cold ambient temperatures.
