Background: Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) are common disorders with an autoimmune etiology, which are known as autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). A specific seasonal pattern of the month of birth has been suggested in several autoimmune disorders, supporting the hypothesis of a link between viral infections and the development of aberrant immune-regulatory mechanisms. However, there are few studies which specifically address this issue in AIT...

Objectives: aGLP1 have been positioned as an effective and safe treatment in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2). The objective was to evaluate the changes metabolic and body composition at 6 months after initiation with Semaglutide weekly subcutaneous added to its basic treatment in patients with DM2.Material and Methods: Prospective observational study. Treatment was started in 42 patients with DM2, with weekly subcutaneous Semaglutide with a ...

Introduction: Patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) exhibit aberrant immune-regulatory mechanisms. Galectins (Gal) are a family of glycan-binding proteins, which have been involved in immune regulation. However, the association of Gal with AITD remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated serum Gal-1 and Gal-9 in patients with AITD.Methods: Peripheral blood samples from 31 patients with Graves’ disease (GD) (14 with untreated hyperthyroidi...
