Severe acquired hypothyroidism in children, while rare, severely affects growth in height. Researchers in Germany explored ways to treat this condition.
Persistent subclinical hypothyroidism is linked to severe cardiovascular disease; monitoring thyroid levels may aid in identifying patients at risk.
A connection between follicular thyroid cancer postthyroidectomy and cardiovascular disease is unknown. Researchers studied the records of almost 350 people to find out more.
Investigators examined the role of a high-fat diet in driving colorectal cancer through modulation of gut microbiota and metabolites.
Routine sun-protective behaviors is not associated with decreased bone mineral density or increased osteoporotic fracture risk.
Researchers conducted a systematic review and external validation study to assess the quality and accuracy of prognostic models for nephropathy and to validate these models in external cohorts of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Researchers sought to examine whether the association of the MIND diet, a mix of the Mediterranean diet and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, with cognition is independent of common brain pathologies.
Investigators sought to evaluate the relationship between obesity and measures from high-resolution anorectal manometry and hindgut symptoms.
Almost 40% of adults with obesity are discriminated against because of their weight. A study from Brazil investigated whether a bias toward people with obesity who also have type 2 diabetes receive different care decisions from health care professionals as well.
