BACKGROUND Concomitant thyroid and heart disease are frequently encountered in clinical practice. There are many studies evaluating thyroid function in acute and critical conditions. Information on thyroid dysfunction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is limited; its correlation with short and long-term outcome is not fully known. METHODS Four hundred and fifty seven patie...

BACKGROUND Thyroid dysfunction is the second most common endocrine disease in females of reproductive age. There are controversial data on the adverse effect of subclinical thyroid dysfunctions on adverse feto-maternal outcomes. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to identify the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy and to assess the effectiveness of treatment with levothyroxine ...

PURPOSE To determine the frequency of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and the risk of development of thyroid dysfunction in children with Turner syndrome. METHODS From 1988 to 1998, 77 children with Turner syndrome were prospectively followed up at National Taiwan University Hospital. The mean (+/- standard deviation) age of these patients was 10.0 +/- 4.7 years at diagnosis of Turner syndrome a...

Nepal lies in an area of endemic iodine deficiency. Thyroid dysfunction, along with a higher than average prevalence of goiter, is a major public health problem among the local population. The present study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction among the hill and terai (low land) castes of eastern Nepal that attended the thyroid clinic at the BP Koirala Institute o...

OBJECTIVE The pattern of thyroid dysfunction seems to depend on the iodine status of the population. Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction could be a parameter to consider when evaluating iodine deficiency disorders in a population. DESIGN Comparative cross-sectional investigation in two regions in Denmark with marginally different iodine excretion. METHODS A random selection of 4649 participan...

CONTEXT Immune checkpoint blockade is associated with endocrine-related adverse events. Thyroid dysfunction during pembrolizumab therapy, an anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor monoclonal antibody, remains to be fully characterized. OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence and characteristics of pembrolizumab-associated thyroid dysfunction. DESIGN AND SETTING Thyroid function was monitore...

Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy can result in serious complications for both the mother and infant; however, these complications can be prevented by optimal treatment of maternal overt thyroid dysfunction. Although several studies have demonstrated that maternal subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with obstetric complications and neurocognitive impairments in offspring, there is limit...
