Objective: To provide an overview of the pathophysiology of thyroid diseases in pregnancy and the various treatment methods currently available in its management.
Data Source: Review of literature was affected through index medicus search of major published journals and books.
Data Selection: Published data on thyroid diseases on women in the reproductive age group over the last four decades were utilised.
Data Extraction: Abstracts and full text of selected manuscripts were read and analysed to determine their contribution to this article.
Data Synthesis: All relevant articles were reviewed and contributions extracted.
Conclusion: Thyroid diseases are the second most common endocrinopathies in pregnancy. Numerous hormonal changes and metabolic demands occur in pregnancy resulting in complex changes in maternal thyroid function. Thyroid diseases involves a multidisciplinary team approach to achieve good metabolic control and excellent obstetric care in order to ensure normal maternal and perinatal outcome.

Objective: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a painful inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland, which - after a phase of thyrotoxicosis - leads to transient, or less frequently permanent hypothyroidism. Apart from a strong association with specific HLA alleles, the causes are uncertain. Viral disease has been hypothesised as a trigger, with Enteroviruses, namely Echoviruses and Coxsackieviruses, showing a seasonal distribution that coincides with the incidence of SAT.

Background: Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine tumors worldwide, especially among women and the metastatic mechanism of papillary thyroid carcinoma remains poorly understood.
Methods: Thyroid cancer tissue samples were obtained for single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, aiming to intratumoral and antimetastatic heterogeneity of advanced PTC. The functions of APOE in PTC cell proliferation and invasion were confirmed through in vivo and in vitro assays.

Background: Thyroid hormone plays an important role in accumulating bone development and regulating bone metabolism. It is established that hypothyroidism is linked to increased risk of osteoporosis and fracture. However, the effects of levothyroxine (LT4) treatment on bone for hypothyroid patients remain controversial.

Investigations have indicated that there is a correlation between thyroid nodules and patients'negative emotions. Nevertheless, the risk factors contributing to the development of negative emotions in thyroid nodule patients remain unidentified. This cross-sectional study recruited 150 patients diagnosed with thyroid nodules through ultrasound examination from January 2022 to January 2023 at Jinan Central Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, and Qingyun County Maternal and Child Health Hospital as the case group, which were categorized based on their levels of anxiety and depression.

Thyroid cancer (THCA) is an increasingly common malignant tumor of the endocrine system, with its incidence rising steadily in recent years. For patients who experience recurrence or metastasis, treatment options are relatively limited, and the prognosis is poor. Therefore, exploring new therapeutic strategies has become particularly urgent.
