diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorders in children. there is a close association between diabetes and other autoimmune disease especially thyroid disorders. as many as 20 percent of insulin dependent diabetic patients may have thyroid antibodies in their serum. the prevalence is 2-20 times greater than observed in normal populations. in this study, 122 patients with diabetes m...

A thyroid disease is a medical condition impairing the function of the thyroid. The thyroid hormones act on nearly every cell in the body. Imbalance in production of thyroid hormones arises from dysfunction of the thyroid gland itself, the pituitary gland, which produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or the hypothalamus, which regulates the pituitary gland via thyrotropin-releasing hormone...

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a dominantly inherited syndrome of impaired tissue responsiveness to thyroid hormones (TH) characterised by high circulating TH in the presence of unsuppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TH achieve their action on the heart chiefly via thyroid hormone receptor alpha 1 (TRa1), which is the TH receptor (TR) isoform predominantly expressed in such an ...

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an uncommon type of thyroid cancer, representing around 4 % of the all thyroid cancers, and is a challenging malignancy. So far, surgery has been the only curative treatment and until recently there have been no effective medications. Within the past 5 years, multi-targeted kinase inhibitors have emerged that have shown convincing efficacy against such tumours....

In the last decade, discoveries in molecular biology field have allowed new insight into the genes involved in the development of AITD. At least six susceptibility genes whose variants have been associated with AITD were identified: HLA-DR, CD40, CTLA-4, PTPN22, thyroglobulin (Tg), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. Genetic susceptibility accounts for 70 % risk for disease that, on...

Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem and with the growing use of diagnostic imaging, the number of thyroid nodules identified and undergoing further diagnostic evaluation by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is steadily growing. Only 5 % of all thyroid nodules harbour malignancy and thyroid cancer constitutes only 1 % of all epithelial malignancies worldwide and represents 95 % of al...

Disorders of thyroid hormones are one of the most common endocrine diseases in India. Various studies projected that approximately 42 million population are affected by thyroid disorders in India.1 The prevalence and type of thyroid disorders depend on various factors like age, sex, ethnicity, geographical area, nutritional status, national policies, health care delivery system, and drug intake...
