Functional thyrotropin receptor autoantibodies in women with thyroid autoimmunity and the impact of ovarian stimulation

Poppe Kris , Frommer Lara , Hatun Burak , Autin Candice , Wolff Fleur , Kahaly George

Background: Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) is the most important cause of hypothyroidism in the general population, and its prevalence is higher in women of subfertile couples.1 Women pregnant after an assisted reproductive technology (ART) with TAI carry a higher risk of a first trimester miscarriage rate compared to women without TAI. Several reasons could be underlying such as thyroid dysfunction, older age, an immune imbalance, and the presence of thyrotropin recept...

Usefulness of real-time quantitative microvascular ultrasonography for differentiation of graves’ disease from destructive thyroiditis in thyrotoxic patients: prospective study

Baek Hansang , Jun Lim Dong , Ha Jeonghoon

Background: The purpose of this study was to measure the ability of Microvascular ultrasonography (MVUS), which is a third-generation Doppler technique developed to increase sensitivity, to distinguish GravesÂ’ disease (GD) from destructive thyroiditis (DT).Methods: This prospective study included a total of 167 patients from October 2020 to January 2023. Of them, 85 were patient with GD. All ultrasonography examinations were performed using microvas...

Higher titer of thyrotropin binding inhibitor immunoglobulin was associated with higher level of free thyroxine in graves’ disease

Choi Hoonsung , Sang Yoo Won

Background: The acitivity of the TSH receptor stimulating antibody is known to be associated with GravesÂ’ eye disease. However, the association between antibody titer and thyroid function was not significant, in previous studies. Taking into account the continuous changes in antibody titer and thyroid function during treatment, the association between thyroid function and clinical factors needed to be analyzed using panel analysis.Methods: A total o...

Multicenter, 5-assay comparison of thyrotropin receptor blocking antibodies

George Augustine , Bossowski Artur , Frommer Lara , Hatun Burak , Konig Jochem , Lupo Mark , Wolf Jan , Kahaly George

Background: Thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R) blocking autoantibodies (TBAb) are present in 10-15% of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). TBAb are functional and clinically relevant. This multicenter study compares the sensitivity and specificity of five immunoassays for the measurement of TBAb and introduces a novel and ultra-rapid TBAb bioassay.Methods: Serum samples from AITD patients were tested with two TSH-R binding immunoassays (Cobas e411...

Predictive value of us doppler and microvascular imaging in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules

Yim Younghee , Ik Park Sang , Shin Ahn Hye

Objective: In this study, we investigated the utility of Doppler and microvascular imaging in diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules according to the TI-RADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System) and pathologic subtypes of thyroid malignancy.Methods: Total 113 pathologically confirmed thyroid nodules (n =72 (63.7%) benign, n =41 (36.3%) malignant) from103 patients who visited for evaluation of thyroid nodules in single te...

Real-Time assessment of the beneficial role of artifical intelligence-based computer assisted diagnosis (AI-CAD) of thyroid nodules on ultrasound

Kim Youngsook , Rho Miribi , Shin Sungjae , Lee Eunjung , Kim Daham , Young Kwak Jin

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-based computer-assisted diagnosis (AI-CAD) in diagnosing thyroid malignancy by inexperienced physicians and experienced radiologist.Methods: A total of 201 thyroid nodules from 192 patients was simultaneously evaluated by physician and radiologist using real-time ultrasound. After implementing AI-CAD, they reassessed the thyroid nodules. If necess...

The risk of thyroid eye disease is increased following covid-19 vaccination

Muller Ilaria , Consonni Dario , Crivicich Erica , Di Marco Francesco , Curro Nicola , Salvi Mario

Objectives: During the Covid-19 pandemic caused by the severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), vaccination has been widely adopted. Both SARS-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19 vaccines have been associated with several thyroid disorders. We studied the risk of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) following Covid-19 vaccination.Methods: This self-controlled-case-series study, validated model in assessing vaccine safety, included 98 consecutive patie...

Dried blood spot thyroglobulin in newborns as a surrogate biomarker for monitoring of iodine status of the population

Fuentes Pena Camilo , Moreno-Reyes Rodrigo , Riedel Soria Claudia

Background: Thyroglobulin (Tg) is a promising index of iodine status in pregnant women and children. The present study aimed to test a new strategy facilitating the monitoring of iodine status using Tg dried blood spot (DBS) in newborns.Methods: Pregnant women were recruited in the third trimester of pregnancy at the Erasme Hospital in Brussels, Belgium. Thyroglobuline concentrations and urine iodine concentrations (UIC) were determined in pregnant women...
