- Treating hypothyroidism is complicated for patients with malabsorption, often requiring higher doses of oral levothyroxine (L-T4) due to impaired absorption.
- A case is presented of a young man with myxedema after undergoing biliopancreatic diversion surgery, showing severe hypothyroidism symptoms and requiring intravenous treatments.
- The case highlights the importance of monitoring Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels more frequently in post-bariatric surgery patients and suggests that liquid forms of L-T4 may be more effective than tablets in these cases.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how platelet levels affect the healing process in patients undergoing oral surgery, specifically tooth extractions.
- It involved 50 patients whose platelet counts were analyzed alongside their healing status and pain levels after the surgery.
- The findings indicated that higher platelet counts were linked to better healing outcomes and less pain, suggesting dentists should routinely check preoperative blood chemistry for patients facing complex surgeries.

Some evidence suggests that men with DM1 have a significant reduction in progressive sperm motility, sperm morphology and semen volume, without significant changes in sperm concentration and count, but definite data are lacking.
