Purpose: Thyroid functional disease is associated with clinically significant cardiovascular changes. The aim of this study was to assess changes in the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITs).
Materials And Methods: Forty patients with AIT (12 men, 28 women; age range, 20 to 82 y; mean age, 59 y) were identified and included in our study. In addition, 20 controls (12 men, 8 women; age range, 21 to 76 y; mean age, 50 y) without AIT or cardiac disorders were included.
Results: In patients with AIT, the mean value calculated for the end diastolic volume was 161.2 mL, the mean end systolic volume value was 95.3 mL, and the mean left ventricular ejection fraction value was 45.2%. In comparing AIT patients with the control group, we found a significant difference in the end systolic volume, ejection fraction, stroke index, cardiac output, cardiac index, and left ventricular diameter (P<0.05).
Conclusions: We conclude that our data show that there is a correlation between thyroid function and cardiac function, as evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This can be useful in the diagnosis of cardiovascular changes associated with AIT.

Background: Microwave ablation is a new, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of thyroid nodules. Hyperthyroidism due to destructive thyroiditis is a known risk of microwave ablation, though it occurs in only a minority of cases. We report a rare case of a patient diagnosed with Graves' disease nearly six months after undergoing microwave ablation of a thyroid nodule.

Objective: The objective of this study is to present the clinical characteristics of immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) patients and describe associated overlap with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with IgG4-RD who were recruited from 13 specialized rheumatology departments and centers across the country in collaboration with the Egyptian College of Rheumatology (ECR). Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Purpose: Graves' disease (GD) and Graves' orbitopathy (GO) are multifactorial disorders with links to the gut microbiome and autoimmunity. It is observed that patients with GD exhibit altered gut microbiome diversity. However, little is known about the role of oral microbiota in GD and GO.

Article Synopsis
- This research investigates the potential biomarkers and metabolic changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) compared to healthy controls.
- A total of 21 potential biomarkers were identified, with elevated levels of pyruvic and oxoglutaric acids, pointing to a dysregulated TCA cycle in AE patients.
- Additionally, the study highlights differences in unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, indicating that these metabolic pathways may play a significant role in understanding the pathology of AE.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how effective machine learning, particularly the Random Forest Classifier, is in predicting thyroid-specific autoantibodies in patients with Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) based on clinical data.
- A total of 96 pSS patients were analyzed through thyroid function tests to categorize them by the presence of autoantibodies, leading to the exploration of various risk factors using four different machine learning algorithms.
- The Random Forest Classifier yielded the best results (AUC = 0.755), highlighting age, IgG levels, complement C4, and dry mouth as significant predictors for autoimmune thyroiditis in these patients.
