Therapeutic plasmapheresis to induce euthyroidism prior to thyroidectomy

Mee Cheng Wee , Kuan YC

Use of therapeutic plasmapheresis in hyperthyroidism is mainly described in thyroid storm when traditional measures fail. Patients with hyperthyroidism who respond poorly or suffer adverse effects to conventional antithyroid therapies, which then need to be stopped, can have persistently high levels of thyroxine and at risk of a full blown thyroid storm. Hence an alternative treatment to achieve euthyroidism followed by thyroidectomy as definitive therapy is vital. We report h...

Introduction: Selenium supplementation is recommended for all patients with mild Graves orbitopathy (GO). The thyroid gland contains high levels of selenium, which has an anti-oxidant effect and a role in the metabolism of thyroid hormones. The study on which this recommendation is based was conducted in countries of a selenium-deficient region and did not measure subjects selenium concentrations.

Papillary thyroid cancer and its variants - genomic evidence and clinical significance

Katalinic Darko , Aleric Ivan , Vcev Aleksandar , Solter Miljenko , Ranogajec Irena , Toetome Lars

Purpose: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) accounts for approximately 80% of all thyroid cancers and is defined by its unique cytologic and histologic features. Mutations of the RET and BRAF/V600 genes are found in nearly 70% of PTC cases. They are able to trigger the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways and to promote neoplastic cell proliferation. Genetic events may further lead to numerous different cell variants of PTC which may be identified via t...

Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) is a syndrome first described in 2011 that triggers autoimmune conditions after exposure to various adjuvants through various mechanisms. We report three cases of autoimmune thyrotoxicosis post mRNA type vaccine for COVID-19 possibly linked to adjuvants present in the vaccine....

Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis refractory to medical therapy: A case report

Mhamdi Zineb , Mesmoudi Adil El , Moussaoui Souad El , Belmejdoub Ghislaine

Introduction: Amiodarone is an anti-arrhythmic drug rich in iodine compounds. One 200 mg tablet corresponds to about 25 times the daily requirement of iodine. One of the major complications of taking Amiodarone is the development of dysthyroidism which is observed in 15% to 20% of cases. Hyperthyroidism occurs in 1 and 13% of these patients.Case report: We report the case of an 34 year old female patient, followed for complete arrhythmia by atrial fibril...

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of differentiated thyroid cancer of all cases of thyroid cancer. Fine-needle biopsy by ultrasonography is still the main diagnostic method of PTC, but there is a technical limitation. Thats why, a minimally invasive diagnostic test that can accurately diagnose the onset of the disease is the subject of research.Our objective: We aimed to explore the concentration levels of ...

Diarrhea as the only symptoms in hyperthyroidism- case report

Tare Rajmonda

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a condition where thyroid makes and releases high levels of thyroid hormone (thyroxine) in the blood. This condition can speed up our body metabolism. Hyperthyroidism causes an overactivity of the sympathetic system. It also this sympathetic hyperstimulation in the gut leads to increased motility causing diarrhea, malabsorbation and consequently weight loss. Objective: To describe a patient with hyper...

Correlation between plasmatic long pentraxin PTX3 and nodular thyroid disease: a preliminary report

Chiari Damiano , Bottazzi Barbara , Leone Roberto , Rodda Giorgia Amy , Pirali Barbara , Branchini Luciano , Zuliani Walter

Introduction: The long pentraxine-3 (PTX3) is a key component of humoral innate immunity that is expressed in various cell types during stress and tissue injury. PTX3 also acts like an oncosuppressor regulating tumor-promoting inflammation and it is implicated in tissue repair and autoimmunity. Autoimmune disease, tissue remodelling and oncogenesis often coexist in the thyroid. PTX3 role in thyroid disease is still unknown. Aim of the study is to evaluate if plasmatic levels o...

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are organ specific autoimmune disorders with a T-cell-mediated immune attack directed against the thyroid. Hashimotos thyroiditis and Graves disease are the two principal AITD clinical presentations, which are characterized by hypothyroidism and thyrotoxicosis, respectively. We review the available data in literature about personalized medicine in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) and hypothyroidism. The synthetic Levothyr...

The study of lipidic spectrum in the females with ‘subclinical hypothyroidism‘ living in uzbekistan

Mirzaeva Rakhshona , Karimova Dilfuza

Introduction: Hypothyroidism - is a clinical syndrome, which occurs owing to the constant insufficiency of thyroid gland hormones in organisms for a long period of time or as a result of reducing their biological effect as a tissue. Now, hypothyroidism occurs in 7-10 % of females and 2-3 % of men. Subclinical hypothyroidism is characterized by a gradual aggravating chronic condition of the thyroid gland of immune pathologic character, normal level (T4) of free thyroxin,...

Sonographic features of autoimmune thyroiditis - a clinical perspective

Anandappa Samantha , Velusamy Anand

Autoimmune Hypothyroidism is a common clinical condition with a suggested prevalence of up to 12% of the population. The subsequent enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by circulating thyroid antibodies can cause neck discomfort warranting a referral to the thyroid ultrasound (USG) clinic. The USG characteristics of autoimmune hypothyroidism can be challenging to grade and the atypical appearances often makes it difficult to exclude a mitotic lesion. We have set forward few...

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is a rare but relatively serious disease, whose prognosis depends on the stage of the tumor and the quality of the initial surgical treatment. The determination of the plasma calcitonin; cervical ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration biopsy are first line examinations; nevertheless they do not always make it possible to make a certain diagnosis in preoperative; moreover they do not define the MTC nodule in a multi nodular goiter and the metas...

Pekkolay Zafer

Introduction: Although the replacement route is oral in most hypothyroid patients, euthyroidism cannot be achieved with oral therapy in some patients rarely (1). Although oral levothyroxine is used above the standard dose (1.6-1.9 mg/kg/day), there is resistance to oral therapy if there are laboratory and clinical signs of hypothyroidism (2). Crushing the drug and using it with vitamin C increases the absorption of levothyroxine (3). Rarely, some patients require lifelong intr...
