Filter by:Many cases of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) have been described related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, but no prospective data about follow-up is known. This prospective, longitudinal, 3-year, multicentre study is aimed at exploring clinical peculiarities and outcome of SAT in relation to SARS-CoV-2 infection, ascertained with antibody dosage. All patients receiving SAT diagnosis from November 2020 to May 2022 were enrolled. Multicentre study. Data about anamnesis, physical examination, blood tests (TSH, freeT4, freeT3, thyroglobulin, anti-thyroid antibodies, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, complete blood count), and thyroid ultrasound were collected. At baseline, the presence of IgG against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein or nucleocapside was investigated. Patients were evaluated after 1, 3, 6, 12 months.
The purpose of this interventional study was to check if the elimination of gluten from the diet of women with autoimmune thyroiditis affects their health and thyroid function, quality of life, and the gut microbiome composition. The main questions it aimed to answer were: - Does the gluten-free diet worsen the gut microbiome composition? - Does the gluten-free diet improve thyroid function, measured as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid hormones thyroxine (FT4) and triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb)? - Does the gluten-free diet improve the quality of life? Participants: - followed normocaloric gluten-free diet for 8 weeks - after first 4 weeks were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group over next 4 weeks additionally to gluten-free diet received gluten in gastrosoluble capsules and second group - rice starch (placebo). Blood and stool samples were collected before diet (T0), after 4 weeks (T1) and after 8 weeks of diet (T2) (total of 3 samples per participant). Also each participant completed the ThyPROpl quality of life assessment questionnaire for patients with thyroid diseases in three time points: before the diet (T0), after 4 weeks (T1) and after 8 weeks of the diet (T2).
Background: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that attacks thyroid cells through cell- and antibody-mediated immune processes and is characterized by the production of thyroid autoantibodies. In hashimoto, antithyroid peroxidase antibodies are increased and thyroid stimulating hormone levels are elevated. A gluten-free diet regulates thyroid autoimmunization by decreasing the concentration of antibodies. The Mediterranean diet also reduces disease-related oxidative stress parameters in patients with hashimoto's thyroid due to its anti-inflammatory effects. Aims: To evaluate the short-term effects of Mediterranean, gluten-free and Mediterranean gluten-free dietary patterns on thyroid function and autoantibody levels of patients. Study Design: Prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial including case and control groups Methods: The 40 patients with hashimato thyroiditis included in the study were randomly divided into 4 different groups as gluten-free, Mediterranean, Mediterranean gluten-free and control group for 12 weeks. Thyroid function tests and autoantibody levels were analyzed at the beginning and end of the study. In addition, anthropometric measurements were taken at the beginning and end of the study and food consumption records and food consumption frequencies were evaluated.
The aim of this study is to compare the thyroid hormone values and anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) levels of women with a diagnosis of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and healthy pregnancies. The primary objective is to find out the relationship between recurrent pregnancy loss with thyroid hormone levels and anti-TPO positivity.
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 aim of this research is to determine the Effects of cervical rehabilitation program on neck pain, ROM and disability after thyroidectomy. Randomized controlled trials will be done at Pakistan ordinance factory (POF) Hospital. The sample size will be 52. The subjects were divided in two groups, with 26 subjects in Group A and 26 in Group B. Study duration will be of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be Non probability Convenience Sampling technique. Both males and females of aged 30-50 years with thyroidectomy will be included. Tools used in the study are Numeric Pain Rating Score (NPRS), goniometer and neck disability index (NDI).
The main focus of the study is the assessment of hormonal function in the course of COVID-19 infection with special regard for trends predicting clinical events defined as primary endpoints of the study.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most commonly observed inflammatory and autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland. Many genetic and environmental factors play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease, including iodine exposure, drugs, chemicals, toxins, infections and smoking. In recent years, the relationship between oxidative stress level and thyroid autoantibodies in HT has attracted increasing attention of researchers. In the studies, it has been reported that oxidative stress levels may increase due to chronic inflammation, insufficient thyroid hormone levels, excessive autoimmune response and excessive iodine intake. Data from clinical studies clearly show that the balance between oxidants and antioxidants shifts towards the oxidative side in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis, suggesting that oxidative stress may be a key event in the pathophysiology of the disease, independent of thyroid function. Recent evidence has suggested that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can improve thyroid function and reduce levels of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) in patients with hypothyroidism caused by chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. In the literature, data examining the effects of LLLT on oxidative stress level and quality of life in patients with HT is limited. As far as we know, it will be the first study examining the effect of LLLT on oxidative stress, fatigue and quality of life in cases diagnosed with HT. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of LT4 treatment combined with LLLT on thyroid autoimmunity, oxidative stress, fatigue and quality of life in patients with Hashimoto's diagnosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Identity Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IOPT) is effective in decreasing the level of autoantibodies of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis. The investigators hypothesize that working Constellations of Intention will have a positive impact on the biological level, by decreasing the level of autoantibodies, antithyroglobulin antibody (anti-Tg) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO), which are the main antibodies detected in chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. Secondly, it will have an impact on the psyche by decreasing the level of dissociation, alexithymia, anger, and by increasing the quality of life and than those in the control group.
The aim of the study was to investigate the functional and morphological effects of Anethum graveolens L. in patients with thyroiditis and nodular goiter by evaluating hormone levels, anti-Inflammatory markers and comparing thyroid nodule sizes measured by ultrasonography for 90 days. The effect of Anethum graveolens L. was evaluated in euthyroid goiter patients diagnosed with benign thyroid nodule via fine needle aspiration biopsy. Aerial parts of Anethum graveolens L. were dried and grinded to yield a fine powder. Size 1 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsules were filled with 300 mg powder. Placebo was prepared in the same manner using maltodextrin. Patients were suggested to take 3 pills a day. Blood samples were collected at the initial and the final day for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin (Anti-Tg) and C-reactive protein (CRP) analysis. Nodule sizes were also measured at the beginning and at the end of the trial with ultrasonography to identify the changes and effectiveness of dill dosage forms. After 90 days in the study, the status of TSH, fT3, fT4, anti-TPO and CRP levels were examined in the group with and without Anethum graveolens L.. Again, after the study, the size of thyroid nodules was evaluated in the group who received and did not receive Anethum graveolens L. by ultrasonography.
