AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A retrospective, comparative review of 100 consecutive new outpatients presenting with hyperthyroidism in Cardiff, South Wales, and in Toronto, Canada, was performed. The aim was to quantify the causes of hyperthyroidism with particular emphasis on the prevalence of viral thyroiditis and "silent" thyroiditis. The proportional morbidity of Graves' disease (approximately 70%) was similar in the two groups. Toxic multinodular goitre and toxic adenoma (Plummers' disease) occurred significantly more frequently in Cardiff (25% v 8%), whereas thyroiditis predominated in Toronto (17% v 1%).

A beneficial levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for a decrease in thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAB) in patients with Graves' disease: a real-world study.
BMC Endocr Disord
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, 350005, China.
Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a relationship exist between pre-therapy 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the remission/negative conversion rates of thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAB) during treatment in patients with newly diagnosed Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: 171 patients were included from the Endocrinology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University in March 2013 to April 2016. Ninety-five patients of them were diagnosed at our hospital but transferred to local hospitals for treatment.
Survival of radioiodine treated hyperthyroid cats that are euthyroid and hypothyroid after treatment, and effect of levothyroxine supplementation on survival time of cats with iatrogenic hypothyroidism.
J Vet Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Background: Hyperthyroid cats that are azotemic and hypothyroid after surgical or medical treatment have poor outcomes, and supplementation with levothyroxine (LT4) improves survival. However, the effect of LT4 supplementation on survival of nonazotemic, hypothyroid radioiodine (RI)-treated hyperthyroid cats is unknown.
Hypothesis: Radioiodine treated hyperthyroid cats with iatrogenic hypothyroidism or azotemia have shorter survival times than euthyroid, nonazotemic cats and supplementation of LT4 improves survival times of hypothyroid cats.
Association of Myasthenia Gravis With Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Study.
Brain Behav
January 2025
Department of Neurology, The Affiliated Hospital to Changchun University of Chinese Medicine, Changchun, China.
Background And Purpose: Observational studies have indicated a high occurrence of coexistence between myasthenia gravis (MG) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in clinical settings, but the causal relationship between the two conditions remains ambiguous. Therefore, this study endeavors to investigate the causal links between MG, along with its subgroups, and AITD through a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.
Methods: Genetic instrumental variables associated with MG and AITD were selected from three major publicly available GWAS databases for MR analysis.
Causal Relationship Between Emotional Disorders and Thyroid Disorders: A Bidirectional Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.
Brain Behav
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Ningbo Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Introduction: The interplay between emotional disorders and thyroid disorders has been subject to numerous observational studies, which have consistently reported associations but have failed to establish clear causal links due to the multifactorial etiology and influences. We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the genetic causal association between emotional disorders and thyroid disorders.
Methods: We employed several methods, including inverse-variance weighted (IVW), weighted median, weighted mode, and MR Egger regression.
