BACKGROUND Subclinical hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid dysfunction in the general population. The relationship between overt thyroid dysfunction and hypertension is generally understood. Besides high blood pressure, non-dipper hypertension is known to increase cardiovascular risk. Our aim is to investigate daily blood pressure changes and the frequency of non-dipping patterns in patie...

Hypothyroidism is due to the primary disease of the thyroid or secondary to hypothalamicpituitary disease [1]. Primary hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disorder throughout the world. Traditionally we have been using levothyroxine in the treatment of hypothyroidism. However, there have been reports of persisting symptoms of hypothyroidism in 5-10% of levothyroxine treated hypothyroid ...

The association of hypothyroidism with glaucoma is conflicting. Many population-based surveys showed an association of hypothyroidism including sub clinical hypothyroidism (SCH) with primary open angle glaucoma, while studies in some other population could not support such association. Though the conclusion about the role of thyroid hormone on ocular parameters is debatable, many studies report...

UNLABELLED The standard treatment of hypothyroidism (central and primary) consists of thyroxine (T4) administration alone. However, the normal thyroid gland produces a small proportion of triiodothyronine (T3) directly into the circulation. AIM We aimed to study the free T3 to free T4 ratio in treated central hypothyroidism compared with euthyroidism and treated primary hypothyroidism. METH...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare theory of Mind, IQ and attention of normal and hypothyroidism students. Materials & Methods: The research method was causal – comparative. The statistical society of it includes students studying in first-grade section of Saveh city that among them, 346 people were selected using random cluster sampling. In the first stage, 30 students were di...

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism is inadequate thyroid hormone production in newborn infants. This can occur because of an anatomic defect in the gland, an inborn error of thyroid metabolism, or iodine deficiency. Thyroid hormone treatment in children with congenital hypothyroidism can prevent intellectual disability. Guidelines recommend that children with congenital hypothyroidism throug...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the health status of women with overt and subclinical hypothyroidism and relate it to the presence of clinical signs and symptoms of the disease. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 232 women divided into 3 groups: overt hypothyroidism (n = 14); subclinical hypothyroidism (n = 152), and controls (n = 66). Healt...

OBJECTIVE To determine if the development of hypothyroidism has an effect on the outcome of advanced-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. DESIGN Retrospective database analysis. SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENTS The study population comprised 155 patients with advanced-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. INTERVENTIONS Patients underwent radiation therapy alone or i...

CONTEXT There are contradictory results on the effect of hypothyroidism on the changes in hemostasis. Inadequate population-based studies limited their clinical implications, mainly on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This paper reviews the studies on laboratory and population-based findings regarding hemostatic changes and risk of VTE in hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroid disorders...

Hypothyroidism is the most common endocrine disorder in dogs. The present paper puts on record various ailments associated with primary hypothyroidism caused by thyroxine (T4) deficiency and peripheral disorders in euthyroid dogs, which mimic hypothyroidism. The study undertaken on 10,172 dogs presented at the clinics with skin and coat incongruity, revealed clinical manifestations suggestive o...
