...Kara J. Connelly; Julie J. Park; Stephen H. LaFranchi The history of the thyroid dates from 2697 BCE when the “Yellow Emperor” Hung Ti described the use of seaweed to treat goiter. The English name “thyroid” was coined by Thomas Wharton in 1656 from the Greek word for a shield. Bernard Courtois...

... to develop goiter. Results and Conclusion: The mutation was predicted to interrupt the correct splicing of pre-mRNA and also lead to structural alterations in the functional sites of the mutant TPO. The current results suggest the association of goiter development with a homozygous c.1159G>A mutation...

...–180 beats/min. Fetal echocardiography indicated cardiac decompensation. The neonate had severe hyperthyroidism (free thyroxine >100 pmol/l, nv 12.0–22.0), cardiac insufficiency, insufficient weight gain, goiter and considerably accelerated skeletal age. In the mother and neonate, TRAb was >40 IU...

...) vs. 2.0 (1.1–2.3), p = 0.001). One child of the treatment group and 12 of the control group developed goiter. Two control children developed subclinical hypothyroidism. Within the treatment group, thyroid volume SDS was lower after 2 years of treatment (p = 0.002). Within the control group, thyroid...

...C. Jaffiol; F. de Boisvilliers; L. Baldet; J. Torresani The syndromes of thyroid hormone resistance may affect overall or only some tissues. The generalized resistance is an inherited disease which involves a familial eumetabolic or hypometabolic goiter, increased free thyroid hormones with normal...

... with underlying thyroid disorders, despite iodine contamination. The role of autoimmune phenomena in the pathogenesis of AIIT appeared to be limited, because circulating thyroid autoantibodies were undetectable in AIIT patients without underlying thyroid disorders or with nodular goiter. Conversely, humoral...

...E. Gemsenjäger; J.J. Staub; J. Girard Eleven patients with single toxic nodular goiter (group A) had no TSH response to TRH (ΔTSH ≤ 1 µU/ml). Nine days after nodulectomy, TSH response was still absent in 10 patients. Responsiveness was delayed for between 2 and 7 weeks and was preceded by increases...
