Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Misako Fujiwara-Ueda"
- Misako Fujiwara-Ueda's research primarily focuses on the role of thyroid blood flow, specifically the peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA), as a diagnostic tool in managing Graves' disease (GD), particularly regarding relapse and treatment sensitivity.
- One of her notable studies from 2010 demonstrated that monitoring ITA-PSV can effectively predict the likelihood of GD relapse after childbirth in women who had temporarily discontinued anti-thyroid medications during pregnancy.
- In an earlier 2007 study, she found that elevated ITA-PSV in untreated hyperthyroid patients is significant for determining methimazole sensitivity, highlighting the PSV's potential utility in the clinical assessment of GD.
