Purpose: The thyroid gland is an organ at risk in breast cancer survivors who receive radiation therapy to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. We investigated the effect of radiation dose to the thyroid gland on the incidence of hypothyroidism in early-stage breast cancer patients treated with CT-guided radiation therapy.
Patients And Methods: We recruited women aged ≤75 years diagnosed with breast cancer from March 2016 through August 2017 at Odense University Hospital, Denmark.

The longest reported follow-up for thermal ablation of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is 5 years. We evaluated the long-term efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with low-risk PTMC with clinical follow-up of more than 10 years. In this retrospective cohort study, we included patients with low-risk PTMC who had more than 10 years of follow-up after ultrasound (US)-guided RFA (performed between May 2008 and December 2013).

Introduction: Thyroid hormone imbalances are known to significantly affect cardiovascular health, contributing to conditions such as arrhythmias, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Given the increasing prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its potential impact on cardiovascular outcomes, early diagnosis and intervention are crucial, particularly within specific regional populations.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of thyroid hormone imbalance on cardiovascular health outcomes in patients at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, over a 24-month period.

Introduction: Known risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation/flutter (NOAF) include thyrotoxicosis and subclinical hypothyroidism. While prior research has predominantly explored the link between thyrotoxicosis and NOAF, the presence of subclinical hypothyroidism among patients presenting with acute NOAF in the emergency department (ED) remains an underexplored area of inquiry. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of undiagnosed thyrotoxicosis and subclinical hypothyroidism in patients with acute NOAF diagnosed in the ED.

Background: It is known that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often converts to euthyroidism. However, the mechanism of such changes is unclear and can only be speculated. This difficulty is likely due to limitations in diagnostic guidelines and their interpretation.
