Abstract
Over half (55%) of pregnant women with abnormalities suggestive of autoimmune thyroiditis and/or hypothyroidism would be missed if only those with high-risk criteria were examined. A more extensive screening of thyroid autoimmunity and dysfunction seems warranted....

Abstract
Patients in the 2 groups were similar with regard to age, sex, and thyroiditis. However, patients in group 1, who had parathyroid hormone testing, had greater postoperative calcium levels (P < .005). Also, patients in group 2 had a higher incidence of malignancy (P = .04). Importantly, patients in g...

Abstract
We should aim to avoid surgery on any patients whose thyroid function is abnormal. The avoidance of a thyroid storm is the goal in managing hyperthyroid patients. Suppression of the sympathetic tone and maintenance of a deep level of surgical anesthesia are prudent. Thyroid storm is rare nowadays bu...

Abstract
Subclinical thyroid disease, a term applied to patients with no or minimal thyroid-related symptoms with abnormal laboratory values, is diagnosed more frequently with the use of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) screening and newer high-sensitivity assays. These are laboratory diagnoses, with subcli...

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an auto-immune disease. It is associated with other auto-immune endocrine disorders and auto-immune impairment of non-endocrine tissue. Auto-immune thyroid disease is one of the most frequent auto-immune diseases associated with it. Hypothyroidism can decrease insulin req...

Abstract
The levels of the serum thyroid hormone (free T4 and free T3) are determined not only by thyroid hormone synthesis/secretion but also by their metabolism. Thyroid hormone metabolism is mediated by three selenoproteins, selenodeiodinase type 1, 2, and 3 (D1, D2, and D3), the expression and function o...
