Thyroid-associated orbitopathy and quality of life: correlation of GO-QoL with clinical activity score and severity in 101 patients

Borel Marine , Grunenwald Solange , Imbert Philippe , Dekeister Celine , Caron Philippe

Thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) is a classic and sometimes severe complication of autoimmune process associated with thyroid diseases, more common in Graves disease. Due to its functional impairment and disfiguring clinical presentation, TAO affects the quality of life of patients. Few studies have examined the importance of this impact in these patients. The main objective of this retrospective study is to determine if there is a correlation between the deteriorati...

Introduction: It is a well-known fact that in Baltic Sea region there is low level of ecological selenium and iodine in soil and water, which can lead to subclinical hypo-activity of thyroid gland. By epidemiological data of that region, chronic stress and low insolation favour the decrease of metabolic rate, hypercholesterolemia and obesity in 30% of population.Method: In Dietological Centre of Jurmala, Latvia, 87 obese patients, in the age group of 25&...

Three major entities are recognized, APS I, APS II and APS III. They are considered rare syndromes, but they are possibly not always thoroughly investigated. APS III, in contrast to APS I and II, does not involve the adren...

Prevalence of celiac disease in autoimmune thyroid diseases, and its associaton with other autoimmune disesases: a single center study in Argentina

Gil Susana Mallea , Aparicio Maria Marta , Ercoli Viviana , Peressotti Bruno , Aldabe Noel , de los Angeles Sosa Maria , Latorre-Villacorta Laura , Sankowicz Silvia , Palazzo Adriana , Ballarino Carolina

Patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are likely to develop celiac disease (CD) among other autoimmune disorders. The prevalence of CD in general population is about 11.5% and the frequency of AITDs-CD association is about 1.24.8%. CD can be asymptomatic in adults. Our objectives were to determine the prevalence of CD in adult patients with AITDs and the presence of other endocrine and non-endocrine autoimmune diseases in a single center in Buenos Aires...

Synchronous papillary carcinomas in thyroglossal duct cyst and micro carcinomas in thyroid gland: report of 3 new cases

Ghammem Monia , Houas Jihene , Bellakdher Mouna , Meherzi Abir , Kermani Wassim , Abdelkafi Mohamed

Introduction: Thyroglossal duct carcinoma (TDCCa) is a very rare finding and its presentation is similar to a benign cyst. Carcinoma arising in this tract is uncommon. It is still debated whetherTDCCa originates from the thyroid gland, from the thyroglossalduct it self (de novo theory) or from both. Although the differentiation may be difficult, this distinction can play a crucial role in treatment decisions regarding the inclusion of thyroidectomy as part of the treatment.</p...

Introduction: Abnormal thyroid function is the most common disease in endocrinology and its screening of made by plasmatic (TSH), followed by (fT4) determination if abnormal. (fT3) determination is only used when pathological (TSH) and normal (fT4) are found, even if there is no evidence supporting this procedure, apart from the greater technical difficulty of measuring (fT3) due to its lower plasma concentration.Material and Methods: Observational retro...

A novel TPO mutation by next generation sequencing in congenital hypothyroidism and the functional analysis of thyroid peroxidase activity

Yakou Fumiyoshi , Suwanai Hirotsugu , Ishikawa Takuya , Abe Hironori , Sakai Hiroyuki , MIwa Takashi , Suzuki Ryo , Odawara Masato

Thyroid peroxidase(TPO) deficiency due to biallelic TPO mutation is known as a representative genotype of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). CH is a congenital endocrine disorder that appears in 1/2,000 to 4,000 newborns. In most cases CH is caused by embryogenesis of the thyroid but the minority is caused by errors in thyroid metabolism. TPO mutation is known as a cause of rare genetic defects in thyroid metabolism. We hereby report a new homozygous TPO mutation (9491; ex 11; c....

More that three decades have passed since the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident (ChNPPA). Several million survivors of the accident were exposed to radioactive iodine and mixture of other radioactive isotopes. Endocrine glands occurred among the target organs of radiation exposure in survivors. Insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (MS) are among the ChNPPA health consequences.Objective: Evaluation of the role of abnormal thyroid function in pre...

Giardino Elena , Catalano Rosa , Barbieri Annamaria , Treppiedi Donatella , Mangili Federica , Spada Anna , Arosio Maura , Mantovani Giovanna , Peverelli Erika

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that originates from parafollicular thyroid C cells and accounts for 5% -10% of thyroid cancers. In all inherited cases of MTC, and in about 40% of sporadic cases, activating mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase proto-oncogene RET are found. Constitutively active RET triggers signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, survival and motility, but the mechanisms underlying malignant transformation of C-...

Objective: Agranulocytosis is a rare but severe side effect of thionamide use in patients with hyperthyroidism. Treatment involves cessation of offending drug, treatment of sepsis, and the use of haematopoietic growth factors. Most patients recover uneventfully, and rarely present with further complications after treatment of the acute episode. We present a case report of suppurative lymphadenitis after treatment with granulocyte-stimulating factor (GCSF) and recovery from car...

Is detection of braf mutation enough to decide prophylactic central neck dissection (CND)?

Introduction: Most recent ATA thyroid nodule/DTC guidelines recommend thyroidectomy without prophylactic CND for small (T1 or T2), non-invasive, clinically node-negative PTC (cN0). However, some studies have suggested an association between the BRAFV600E mutation and the risk of nodal disease. Moreover, BRAF V600E mutation have recently showed significant association with recurrence in solitary intrathyroidal PTC between 2 and 4 cm (pT2) making suitable a more aggressive treat...
