Filter by:The management of thyroid function in pregnancy has been object of several guidelines in the last years. Normal thyroid function reduces prenatal and post-natal risks and gestational complaints. Trimester specific reference values of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are available for selected geographic population but its are not yet are available in our country. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most frequent autoimmune thyroid disease which can induce thyroid dysfunction, mainly sub-clinical hypothyroidism. Due to the large incidence in women HT and its potential link with thyroid dysfunction this disease could be search and monitored before pregnancy. Anyway a strong recommendation is to test TSH levels in all patients seeking pregnancy at risk for thyroid dysfunction for a history or current symptoms/signs of thyroid dysfunction, known positivity od thyroid autoimmunity or goiter, a history of neck radiation, age >30 years, diabetes mellitus, previous infertility or pregnant loss, morbid obesity, living in area of moderate-severe iodine deficiency or recent administration of drugs/substance interfering with thyroid function.
Retrospective comparative study comparing group 1 (TSH level 0.1-1.99 mIU/L) and group 2 (TSH level 2.0-4 mIU/L). Each group was further subdivided into primigravidae and multipara. 1527 pregnant women were included.
This is an observational, retrospective and monocentric study, conducted at the university Hospital of Brest The primary objective is to assess the association between the occurrence of thyroid dysfunction in patients treated with Nivolumab® for a non-small cell lung cancer and prognosis and therapeutic response The second objective is to assess prognosis and therapeutic response according to severity and subtype of thyroid dysfunction
Methods of diagnostic and treatment of hormonal disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be developed and implemented in real clinical practice. As a result of the project, new scientific data will be obtained on the relationship of hyperprolactinemia and impaired functioning of the pituitary-gonadal axis, changes in functioning of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system will be revealed, and the characteristics of the thyroid and parathyroid status in patients with CKD will be determined, including receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) and after kidney transplantation, which will improve the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of hormonal disorders in the early stages of the disease, reduce the direct financial costs of the diagnostic and treatment process primarily due to the optimization of hormonal studies and treatment of the revealed disorders, as well as will prevent the progression of CKD and the severity of the condition of this category of patients due to the development of hormonal dysfunctions.
This study is to evaluate Thyroid Hormone profile in patients with Nephrotic syndrome to identify clinical predictor of Thyroid dysfunction in patients with Nephrotic syndrome
The influence of thyroid autoantibodies on thyroid function in pregnancy after fertility treatment is not well known. The objectives of the present study are: 1. To monitor the course of thyroid function during pregnancy and to compare between women with and without thyroid autoantibodies. 2. Compare pregnancy outcome between women with and without thyroid antibodies
The aim of the study: To assess the influence of iontophoresis treatment with 2% potassium iodide on the level of thyroid hormones (TSH, FT3, FT4) The study group: conducting 10 iontophoresis treatments with Potassium iodide; The control group: conducting 10 placebo treatments with iontophoresis with destilled water; Intervention: 10 iontophoresis treatments with 2% potassium iodide in healthy individuals. Test the level of thyroid hormones before and after the 10 iontophoresis treatments; The study allows to assess the influence of iodine on the function of thuroid gland.
Up to one third of breast cancer patients have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. L-thyroxine (T4), or Synthroid, is the most commonly prescribed agent for the management of hypothyroidism in the US. However, there are data suggesting that triiodothyronine (T3) may have benefits in preventing disease progression over l-thyroxine (T4).
Physiological changes necessitate the use of pregnancy-specific reference ranges for TSH and FT4 to diagnose thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy. Although many centers use fixed upper limits for TSH of 2.5 or 3.0 mU/L, this may lead to overdiagnosis or even overtreatment. The new guidelines of the American Thyroid Association have considerably changed recommendations regarding thyroid function reference ranges in pregnancy accordingly. Any hospital or physician that is still using the 2.5 or 3.0 mU/l cut-off for TSH during pregnancy should evaluate their own lab-specific cut-offs. The investigator's objective is to establish a rational reference range of serum TSH for diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism in the first and second trimester of pregnant women in west Black Sea region in Turkey.
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilo-sebaceous unit with a multi-factorial etiology. It is one of the most frequent cutaneous diseases, affecting more than eighty percent of the population at some point in their lives . Endocrine factors especially androgens and steroids are one of multiple factors provoked to be involved in pathogenesis of acne . Thyroid hormones have steroid like action that have many regulatory functions in many body organ functions including skin and pilosebaceous unit. Furthermore, subtle thyroid dysfunction was shown to have a role in many disease conditions. Thyroid hormone action on sebaceous glands is unclear. In hypothyroid states, sebocytes exhibit reduced rates of secretion that increases with thyroxine administration .
