IntroductionGraves ophthalmopathy (GO) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the orbit which is associated with autoimmune thyroid disease. The medical treatment of severe and sight threatening GO remains a challenge, it generally implies the use of glucocorticoids with others treatments. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a prodrug of mycophenolic acid that prevents T-cell and B-cell proliferation and the production of cytotoxic T-cells and antibodies. ...

Inoperable papillary thyroid carcinoma with metastasis pulmonary: therapeutic alternative

Laurinda Pangui Henricia , Essabah Haraj Nassim , El Aziz Siham , Chadli Asmaa

SummaryPapillary thyroid carcinoma is rare in children and adolescents, most often discovered late by lung metastases. It is generally of good prognosis but can present cases difficult to operate requiring a targeted therapeutic approach. We report the case of a 15-year-old patient from a non-consanguineous marriage, with no history of irradiation, followed for Hashimotos hypothyroidism since the age of 6 under Levothyrox 25 µg.

Cesareo Roberto , Manfrini Silvia , Pasqualini Valerio , Ambrogi Cesare , Sanson Gianfranco , Gallo Andrea , Pozzilli Paolo , Pedone Claudio , Crescenzi Anna , Palermo Andrea

BackgroundRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) seems to achieve a significantly larger nodule volume reduction rate (VRR) than laser ablation (LA) in benign non-functioning thyroid nodules (BNTNs). We compared the efficacy and safety of both thermal ablation treatments at the 12-month follow-up in patients with solid or predominantly solid BNTN.MethodsThis 12-month, single-use, randomized open-label parallel trial c...

IntroductionPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic syndrome in which hypothalamic dysfunction leads to hyperphagia and pituitary hormone deficiencies (PHD), among others. The majority of patients have intellectual disability (ID) and use of psychotropic drugs is frequent. Due to hypotonia and the low muscle mass associated with the syndrome, adults with PWS have a low basal metabolic rate (BMR). Combined with hyperphagia, this results in high r...

Thyroid hormones (TH) are key regulators of basal metabolic rate and body weight. They increase resting energy expenditure by increased synthesis of uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) in brown adipocytes which stimulates energy dissipation as a heat. TH also increase appetite by central adrenergic stimulation. Body weight change is a key symptom of thyroid dysfunction especially the weight gain observed in patients treated for hyperthyroidism AIM: To compare the influence of differe...

95% of all cases of overt hypothyroidism are primary. It is defined as low levels of blood thyroid hormone due to disorder of the thyroid gland causing decreased synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. Levothyroxine is recommended as the preparation of choice for the treatment of this disease. The therapy should eliminate the symptoms of hypothyreosis, lead to the normalization of thyroid axis hormones and the avoidance of iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis. Serum TSH is the param...
