Thyroid storm represents a critical and life-threatening complication from hyperthyroidism, with a notable mortality risk. Limited literature reports have explored the correlation between thyroid storm and peri-myocarditis, although the precise pathophysiological underpinnings remain unclear. The pathophysiology of how thyroid storm and peri-myocarditis are associated is not clearly understood; however, unfavorable prognostic factors include atrial fibrillation and recurrent thyrotoxicosis. Here, we present a case concerning recurrent peri-myocarditis concomitant with a thyroid storm.

A Narrative Review of the Role of Blood Biomarkers in the Risk Prediction of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Cureus
December 2024
Public Health Sciences, Scientific Knowledge for Ageing and Neurological Ailments (SKAN) Research Trust, Bengaluru, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, making it essential to find biomarkers that can detect it early in healthy people to enhance preventive measures and improve overall health outcomes.
- Various biomarkers, such as atherogenic lipoproteins and inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), have shown connections to CVD risk factors, aiding in risk prediction when combined with traditional indicators.
- Emerging biomarkers like myeloperoxidase (MPO) and procalcitonin (PCT) are being explored for their potential in early detection of systemic infections, emphasizing the importance of identifying the best biomarker combinations for effective diagnosis and risk assessment.
Rectal Administration of Propylthiouracil in a Critically Ill Patient: A Life-Saving Experience.
Cureus
November 2024
Endocrinology and Diabetes, Hospital Selayang, Selayang, MYS.
Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disease caused by the production of thyroid hormones in excessive amounts. Propylthiouracil (PTU) is one of the anti-thyroid drugs (ATD) used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Rectal PTU should be considered by physicians as a valuable option for managing hyperthyroidism as an alternative route of administration for patients who cannot tolerate oral medications.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore, Singapore.
Background: Current guidelines recommend that hyperthyroid patients should be rendered euthyroid prior to surgical procedures. These guidelines rely heavily on the use of ATDs as the primary medication, and do not give recommendations for patients who have contraindications to ATDs, or for whom standalone ATD treatment is inadequate.
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive pharmacological therapy and/or therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in the perioperative management of patients with thyrotoxicosis who were intolerant to ATD or for whom standalone ATD therapy was inadequate to achieve euthyroidism prior to surgery.
Association of the Glasgow Coma Scale with the Length of Hospital Stay in Patients with Thyroid Storm.
Intern Med
December 2024
Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Osaka General Medical Center, Japan.
Objective The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely used to assess the levels of consciousness. This study examined whether or not the initial GCS score could be a marker of the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients with thyroid storm. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 29 patients with thyroid storm in our hospital between January 2010 and December 2023.
