Subclinical hypothyroidism is comparatively frequent disorder with incidence between 3 to 7% in the general population; in females over 60 it can exceed 10%. There is no unequivocal view on the clinical significance of the syndrome; however, it may correspond with increased risk of atherosclerosis and its complications. Especially in elderly women, screening for subclinical hypothyroidism is recommended with possible hormone replacement according to given criteria. Decision about the therapy of subclinical hypothyroidism should be done together with cardiologist, psychiatrist or neurologist in order to correct possible clinical impacts and prevent further manifestations.

In 2023, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a re-evaluation of the safety of bisphenol A (BPA), establishing the new tolerable daily intake (TDI) as 0.2 ng/kg·bw/day with a 20,000-fold reduction compared to 2015, which regained public concern about the impact of bisphenols (BPs) on human health. In order to explore the health risk to thyroid function of BPs, in this study, we assessed the internal exposure levels of BPs and the relationships between urinary BPs and thyroid function in general adults.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during pregnancy on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methylation in the brain tissues of rat offspring.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group (CON) and SCH group. BS-seq sequencing was used to analyze mtDNA methylation levels in the offspring's brain tissues; the 2,7-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe method was employed to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in brain tissues; electron microscopy was utilized to observe the mitochondrial structure in the hippocampal tissues of the offspring.

Thyroid dysfunction is associated with a number of neuropsychiatric manifestations. Cognitive decline is a common feature of hypothyroidism and clinical or subclinical hyperthyroidism. In addition, there is a significant association between thyroid hormone (TH) levels and the degree of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical manifestation of various underlying causes, characterized by the combination of clinical and imaging findings associated with the posterior cerebral areas and relating to arterial hypertension and endothelial dysfunction. No association was made so far between PRES and McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), a rare genetic disorder resulting in fibrous dysplasia. A 33-year-old female with MAS was presented to the emergency department of the 417 Army Share Fund Hospital in Athens (Greece) after seizure activity with two episodes of ocular upward deviation and transient facial palsy, each lasting a few minutes, followed by a postictal phase.

Objectives: Research on neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates of mothers with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is limited. The link between umbilical cord blood brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and neurobehavioral outcomes in neonates has not been explored. This study investigates the correlation between alterations in umbilical cord blood BDNF levels and early neurobehavioral abnormalities in neonates born to pregnant women with SCH.
