Background: Management of thyroid diseases during pregnancy requires special considerations because maternal thyroid diseases can have adverse effects on both pregnancy and fetus. Universal screening for thyroid diseases in pregnant women is not currently supported by studies with high evidence whereas guidelines have been released for individuals at high risk, although controversies are still in debate. Iodine prophylaxis should be performed systematically to women during pregnancy.
Materials And Methods: An electronic search of PubMed/Medline and EMBASE concerning thyroid diseases and pregnancy have been conducted over the past 20 years and summarized.
Results: Data regarding prevention and treatment of thyroid diseases during pregnancy are reported from analysis of the literature.
Conclusions: As thyroid dysfunction may cause profound impact on mother's and fetus's health, implementation by strict application of clinico-diagnostic flowchart and recommendations is of paramount importance when dealing with thyroid diseases during pregnant state.

Introduction: Congenital aniridia is increasingly recognized as part of a complex syndrome with numerous ocular developmental anomalies and non-ocular systemic manifestations. This requires comprehensive care and treatment of affected patients. Our purpose was to analyze systemic diseases in patients with congenital aniridia within the Homburg Aniridia Registry.

Background: Thyroid disorders have significant clinical sequelae, including impaired growth in children, metabolic abnormalities, and impaired cognitive function. However, available studies on burden of thyroid diseases in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), particularly its prevalence and its interaction with HIV related factors (like CD4 count), are controversial. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive summary and analysis on the extent of thyroid dysfunctions in this population.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive decline due to synaptic loss and neuron death, with amyloid-β plaques and neurofibrillary tau tangles as key pathological hallmarks. Although genetics account for about 70% of AD risk, modifiable factors also significantly contribute to AD and dementia onset and AD-resilience. Utilizing the All of Us (AoU) cohort, this study explores the relationship between clinical conditions, quantitative phenotypes (including lab tests and anthropometric measurements), and AD risk, shedding light on potential preventative measures.
