Background: Hypothyroidism has been associated with impaired urinary concentrating ability. However, previous reports on thyroid hormone and urinary concentrating ability in humans only studied a limited number of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease or used healthy controls instead of paired analysis within the same patients.
Objective: To study the urinary concentrating ability in athyreotic patients with differentiated thyroid cancer on and off levothyroxine treatment as they are exposed to different thyroid states as part of their treatment in the absence of an autoimmune disease.
Design And Methods: We studied 9 patients (mean age of 42.7 years) during severe hypothyroid state (withdrawal of levothyroxine before radioactive iodine therapy) and TSH-suppressed state (on levothyroxine therapy). At these two points, serum and urine samples were collected after 14 h of overnight fasting without any food or drink.
Results: Serum and urine osmolality were not significantly different between on and off levothyroxine treatment. Serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in patients off versus on levothyroxine treatment (87.0 vs. 71.0 µmol/L, respectively; = 0.044) and, correspondingly, the estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower (89.6 vs. 93.1 mL/min, respectively; = 0.038).
Conclusion: Short-term, severe hypothyroidism has no effect on urinary concentrating ability. Our study confirms the well-known effects of thyroid hormone on serum creatinine concentrations.

Metabolism and effects of acetoaceto--toluidine in the urinary bladder of humanized-liver mice.

Occupational exposure to aromatic amines is a major risk factor for urinary bladder cancer. Our previous studies showed that acetoaceto--toluidine, which is produced using -toluidine as a raw material, promotes urinary bladder carcinogenesis in rats. We also found high concentrations of -toluidine, a human bladder carcinogen, in the urine of acetoaceto--toluidine-treated rats, indicating that urinary -toluidine derived from acetoaceto--toluidine may play an important role in bladder carcinogenesis.

Although the dosage controlling of tramadol (TRA) as a banned deadly drug in human biofluids is medicolegally important a biocompatible method for its high-selective detection with fewer false interferences has been scarcely reported. Herein, a new impedimetric aptasensor is introduced by utilizing the aptamer (Apt) sequence with high affinity to TRA for the first time to non-invasively measure it. An oriented nanolayer of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) is easily formed on the surface by the electrodeposition technique to high-densely load the Apt and embed the novel aptasensing interface via a user-friendly methodology.

Hearing loss (HL) is an otolaryngology disease susceptible to environmental pollutants. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as a class of chemical pollutants with evaporation propensity, pose a great threat to human health. However, the association between VOCs and HL remains unclear.

The breed can influence the results of haematological and biochemical blood tests, with sighthounds traditionally mentioned. It may also affect certain urinary parameters. This study aimed to compare urinary protein and creatinine concentrations and their ratio (UPC, urine protein to creatinine ratio) between sighthounds and non-sighthounds and to evaluate these parameters in various sighthound breeds.

Background: Phthalate exposure has been hypothesized to influence cholesterol metabolism and gallstone pathogenesis, but previous studies are limited. We aimed to examine the associations between urinary phthalate metabolites and prevalence of gallstone disease in a nationally representative sample.
Methods: We analyzed data on 1,696 adults aged ≥ 30 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018.
