Aims: Presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) is correlated to tissue involutive lesions by microvascular alterations. The possible involvement of hypovitaminosis D as a negative immunomodulatory factor along with the presence of ANA and the incidence of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) atrophic form is a complex mechanism with multiple pathological intercorrelations.Material and method: Inclusion criteria: patients - new cases diagnosed with CAT wi...

Objectives: Evaluation of functional thyroid alterations in correlation with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).Material and method: Study performed on a group of 136 pregnant women with HG and a control group of 101 pregnant women. In both groups, cases with a known history of thyroid disease, molar pregnancy, multiple pregnancies or other systemic chronic diseases were excluded. Patients were clinically and serologically examined (TSH, FT4, ATPO, TRAb), the r...

Introduction: Dento-maxillary system changes associated to thyroid disorders are constantly present. Differentiated impairment, depending on the period of evolution of the disease, explains the high percentage of over 60% of cases with parodonthopathy.Aim of the study: Evaluating the oro-maxillo-facial changes in patients with underdose treated hypothyroidism.Methods: The study group comprised 154 patients with hypothyroidism, 132 ...

Introduction: The incidence of depressive type psychoaffective disorders is significantly increased in patients with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis.Objectives: The study of thyroid autoimmunity correlated with serum levels of TSH, FT4 and depression degree.Methods: The study comprised 70 patients (64 women and 6 men), aged between 18 and 66 years, divided in 4 groups. All study groups were analyzed according to the degree of depres...

Introduction: Juvenile hypothyiroidism shows various complications depending on the correctitude of substitutive treatment.Aims of the study: To identify the massive facial changes with occlusive disorders, dental malpositions, altered chronology of dental eruption, periodontal changes in terms of absence of thyroid replacement therapy or drug sub-dosing.Methods: The study group comprised 24 children, 15 girls and 8 boys; 4 cases o...

Introduction: Benign breast disease is the most common reason for senology consultation.Objectives: To investigate the possible involvement of thyroid autoimmunity and hypovitaminosis D in the development of mammary echo-structural lesions.Method: The BI-RADS score was assigned to categories 1–4 characteristic of benign mastopathy, in three groups of patients: Group 1 (n=167) – with chronic autoimmune thyro...

Objectives: Assessment of the utility of supplementing the iodine intake during pregnancy in women with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) coming from the perimarine territory of Romania.Material and method: The study included 28 pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy, diagnosed with CAT. The following variables were evaluated: TSH, FT4, ATPO. The iodine status of pregnant women was analyzed by 2 methods: 1 – the value of the urinary ...

Introduction: Periodontal disease (PD) is a disease with infectious determinism, initiating inflammatory and autoimmune processes, in intricate evolutionary stages, affecting 10% to 60% of adults.Objectives: Between chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) and PD there are observations regarding pathogenic interconditioning.Material and methodGroup 1 (n = 109 patients) comprised 84 women and 25 men. ...
