Syndromic primary hyperparathyroidism has several features in common: younger age at diagnosis when compared with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism, often synchronous or metachronous multi-glandular involvement, higher possibility of recurrence, association with other endocrine or extra-endocrine disorders, and suggestive family background with autosomal dominant inheritance. Hyperparathyroidism in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is the most common syndromic hyperparathyroidism. It is often asymptomatic in adolescents and young adults, but may be responsible for recurrent lithiasis and/or bone loss.

- Smoking contributes to insulin resistance and negatively impacts beta-cell function, both of which are poorly understood factors linked to the development of type-2 diabetes.
- Active smoking harms glycemic control in both type-1 and type-2 diabetics, increasing all-cause mortality and exacerbating diabetes-related complications, while its effects on specific complications are still debated.
- There’s a lack of comprehensive data on smoking cessation strategies tailored for diabetic patients, highlighting the need for diabetes specialists to actively engage in supporting smoking cessation efforts.
Purpose: To assess the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and acquired hypothyroidism (AH) between 2014 and 2019 in continental France.
Methods: New cases of CH and AH were identified using the French National Health Data System (Système Nationale des Données de Santé, SNDS). Temporal trends were studied using linear regression models.
Background: Epidemiological data regarding thyroid diseases are lacking, in particular for occupationally exposed populations.
Objectives: To compare the risk of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism between farming activities within the complete population of French farm managers (FMs).
Methods: Digital health data from retrospective administrative databases, including insurance claims and electronic health/medical records, was employed.
