The effect of obesity-related allostatic changes on cardio-metabolic risk in euthyroid children

Wasniewska Malgorzata , Tropeano Angelo , Corica Domenico , Curatola Selenia , Li Pomi Alessandra , Pepe Giorgia , Aversa Tommaso

Purpose: The hormonal thyroid changes related to obesity, even when in the euthyroid state, may contribute to the unfavorable cardio-metabolic profile of obese patients. In this retrospective study we aim to investigate the biochemical thyroid changes and the association between serum TSH, FT4, FT3 and cardio-metabolic risk factors in euthyroid obese youths.Methods: Four hundred ninety-one Caucasian euthyroid obese children and adolescents aged 9.93±2...

Decreased echogenicity and increased vascularization of fetal thyroid on 2D-ultrasonography caused by mother’s Graves’ disease

Gietka-Czernel M. , Debska M. , Kretowicz P. , Jastrzebska H. , Wasniewska G.

Fetal ultrasonography is recommended in pregnant women with elevated TSH receptor antibodies (TRAK) or treated with antithyroid drugs in attempt to recognize fetal thyroid dysfunction. We report two cases of pregnant women with Graves’ disease in whom fetal thyroid ultrasonography was especially useful in diagnosing child involvement.A 33-year-old woman at 30-week pregnancy with 3-months history of hyperthyroidism treated with propylothiouracil (PTU...

Sensitivity to thyroid hormones and cardiometabolic risk in euthyroid obese children: A cross-sectional study

Wasniewska Malgorzata , Tropeano Angelo , Corica Domenico , Li Pomi Alessandra , Alibrandi Angela , Pepe Giorgia , Aversa Tommaso

Background: The typical biochemical phenotype related to obesity, that is high serum TSH within normal range, low/normal free thyroxine (FT4) and increased free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels, can be interpreted as a resistance to thyroid hormones. It is unclear the role played by thyroid hormones in the pathogenesis of metabolic derangement associated with obesity. Aim: To investigate the association between thyroid hormones sensitivity and cardio-metabo...

Pretreatment with rhTSH allows effective 131I therapy in patients with multinodular toxic goiter and low radioiodine uptake

Gietka-Czernel M , Jastrzebska H , Zgliczynski W , Wasniewska G , Wróblewska M , Wernic K , Cybulska B , Karpiska E

Aim: Estimation of the effectiveness of a single low dose 0.05 mg rhTSH in increasing radioiodine uptake (RAIU) before 131I therapy for multinodular toxic goiter with low initial RAIU.Patients: 24 patients (21 women, 3 men) with multinodular toxic goiter without prior antithyroid drug therapy. The initial 24 h RAIU was 21.1±8.44%; range, 6–39% and thyroid volume 64.14±22.49 ml; range, 24.8–109 ml.Meth...

Do different initial doses of L-T4 within the range of 10–15 mcg/kg/die influence neurodevelopment during the first two years of life in children with congenital hypothyroidism?

Background: The initial L-T4 dose in the treatment of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) currently recommended is 10–15 mcg/kg/die.Objective: We designed a multicenter randomized trial to evaluate the effects of different starting dose of L-T4 within the range 10–15 mcg/kg/die on neurocognitive development in children with CH.Methods: Seventy-two children with CH diagnosed by neonatal screening were enrolled in the study. The...

Background: Primary Adrenal Insufficiency (PAI) is a rare life-threatening disorder. Data on etiology and outcome of PAI in childhood are scanty, with the exception of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD). The aim of our study is to evaluate etiology, morbidity and long-term outcome of PAI in a large cohort of children and characterize clinical presentation in subjects with PAI not due to 21OHD CAH.Material and me...

Background: The reported occurrence and management of acute adrenal insufficiency–related adverse events in children vary widely between centres and may depend on available resources.Methods: Real world data from the I-CAH Registry from 44 centres [32 from high income (HIC) and 12 from low/middle income (LMIC) countries] and a total number of 607 children were linked to the results of a health care survey of local r...
