Thyroid function abnormalities in 270 adult patients post-BMT are described. Various conditioning regimens were used and the effects of three TBI and one chemotherapy only based regimens are compared. The overall incidence of elevated TSH is 8.9; 3.8, 7.2 and 16.7% in those patients who received 300, 500 and 1200 cGy respectively and 11.7% in those who received BuCy conditioning. Three cases (1.1%) of clinial hypothyroidism were observed. Compensated hypothyroidism defined as an elevated TSH in the presence of normal T3, T4 levels and transient in some cases, was the most common finding. All but four cases occurred in the first 2 years after BMT. In the remaining four, three occurred in patients with chronic GVHD. The results reported here show a lower prevalence than observed in most other reviews, particularly for children. A trend was observed with increasing radiation doses. The results are not significantly different from those we observed in the BuCy regimen.

Thyroid Dysfunction Following Thermal Ablation of Large Solid and Solid-Predominant Thyroid Nodules.
Endocr Pract
January 2025
Department of Ultrasound, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, 101100. Electronic address:
Objectives: Thermal ablation (TA) is an alternative to lobectomy for thyroid nodules (TNs). While it is believed that thyroid function remains stable after TA for cystic TNs, the impact of TA on solid TNs, especially the large ones, is less explored. This study investigates changes in thyroid hormones after TA in patients with solid-predominant TNs and identifies potential risk factors for thyroid dysfunction after TA.

January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology, Medical University of Silesia, 40-752 Katowice, Poland.
Untreated hyperprolactinemia and autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) seem to increase cardiometabolic risk. The cardiometabolic effects of cabergoline were less significant in young women with concurrent euthyroid Hashimoto's illness. This study sought to investigate if the detrimental effects of this condition on cabergoline efficacy are also evident in postmenopausal women.

Indian Dermatol Online J
December 2024
Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College and General Hospital, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Background: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) appears to share some pathomechanisms with metabolic syndrome (MS), such as proinflammatory state, increased oxidative stress, changes in adipokine profile, and coagulation system activation.
Aim And Objectives: To evaluate clinical and laboratory parameters of MS in CSU patients and to assess relationship of MS with duration and severity of CSU, Ig-E, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and autologous serum skin test (ASST).
Materials And Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 131 CSU cases and 131 controls who were age- and sex-matched.
PREDICTORS OF TSH NORMALIZATION IN THYROTOXICOSIS PATIENTS AFTER TREATMENT.

January 2025
Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Chi-Mei Medical Center, Taiwan.
Context: Understanding factors delaying recovery in thyrotoxicosis patients is crucial for optimizing treatment plan.
Objective: This study aimed to identify predictive factors for the delayed thyroid function recovery in thyrotoxicosis patients.
Design: The study is a retrospective review of medical records of adult thyrotoxicosis patients diagnosed at Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan, from January 2014 to December 2021.
Atypical Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Levels in Myxedema Coma Complicated by Severe Sepsis.
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect
November 2024
UCI Medical Center, USA.
Most cases of Myxedema Coma are associated with primary hypothyroidism characterized by significantly elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. However, this case presents an atypical manifestation of myxedema coma with low TSH levels despite severe hypothyroidism. The rarity of this presentation lies in the absence of central lesions typically responsible for such TSH suppression.
