Backgrounds: Thyroid hormones play an important physiological role in human metabolism. Erythrocyte abnormalities are frequently associated with thyroid disorder. However, they are rarely investigated and related to the subclinical and primary hypothyroidism in Kashmiri Patients. In this study an attempt was made to study hematological parameters in untreated and treated subclinical hypothyroi...

INTRODUCTION Obesity is among the medical problems in survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These patients are at risk of metabolic syndrome (MS). The present study aimed to follow the patients with ALL regarding the incidence of MS. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study was conducted on all patients who referred to the oncology clinic from July 2012 to July 2013. The exclusion...

Autoimmune diseases accompanied by the development of hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease) are one most common disorders thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism is a clinical syndrome that occurs as result hormone deficiency. Hyperthyroidism excessive activity gland hypersecretion hormones. In simple terms, to achieve euthyroid state in both syndromes, two drugs ...

Background & Aims: Thyroid hormones are of great importance in the development of the central nervous system. Congenital hypothyroidism may affect the reorganization of specific and non-specific thalamocortical afferents to whisker–related sensory (wS1) corticol region in rats. Methods: Congenital hypothyroidism was induced by adding propylthiouracil (PTU) (25 ppm) to the rats...

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hyperandrogenic condition characterized by polycystic morphology and chronic oligo-anovulation. When it combines with hypothyroidism hyperprolactinemia, this can have severe consequences, may even lead to infertility.
 Case Presentation: This case study illustrates the complexity of PCOS significance multidisciplinary approach its diagnos...

Backgrounds and Aims: Thyroid hormones have a crucial physiological role to maintain balance of metabolism of body. Thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid gland also has a vital influence on erythropoiesis by induction of erythropoietin secretion and proliferation of erythroid progenitors. In the present study, it was tried to evaluate th...

Objective. The study aim was to analyze whether anthropometrical parameters and TSH values in obese children with isolated subclinical hypothyroidism (IsHT) treated with levothyroxine (LT4) and weight reduction program differ from those managed by dietary and behavior counselling only. Material and Methods. 51 obese children with IsHT, who were treated according to the same weight reduction pro...

Primary hypothyroidism is a graded phenomenon with a wide spectrum of severity between subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism. Patients with biochemically severe hypothyroidism may present with only mild clinical manifestations, whereas some patients with moderate changes in thyroid hormones may present with severe signs of tissue hypothyroidism. The measurement of pituitary thyroi...

Introduction: Among the endocrine diseases, hypothyroidism is the commonest after diabetes.Thyroid hormones (T3,T4) are essential for genital organs function. Apoptosis process in ovarian cells plays a significant role of development in ovarian follicles. The aim of the present study was determine the apoptotic index induced by hypothyroidism in rat ovarian follicles. Materials and Method...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is a relationship between frontal QRS-T angle on ECG and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH).
 Materials Methods: A total 115 individuals included in study, 41 patients have SCH 74 as healthy control group. Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level > 4.5 mU/mL determined for the diagnosis SCH. All demographic, electrocardiogr...
