Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems
A chart comparing the parts and features of available continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems.
Diagnostic Testing
Circulating Proteins May be Early Biomarkers for Type 1 Diabetes Risk
Predicting type 1 diabetes risk has been difficult due to the inability to clearly identify biomarkers and small study sizes. Investigators used Mendelian randomization to identify biomarkers.
Extraocular Muscle Signal Intensity May Predict Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
A cut-off signal intensity ratio value higher than 2.9 in the inferior rectus could be applied to evaluate the active stage of the disease, researchers believe.
Regular Thyroid Screening Recommended for People With Hepatitis C
People with hepatitis C are at an increased risk for several autoimmune disorders. Researchers sought to discover a link between the virus and hypothyroidism.
Cushing Syndrome May Be Predicted More Accurately With New Diagnostic Test
The complexity of Cushing syndrome often makes diagnosis difficult. Researchers sought to create a diagnostic tool that could determine which patients may be at risk for developing the disease.
Cortisol Level and Dexamethasone Suppression Test Improve Disease Analysis
Adrenal masses and people who may have Cushing syndrome are often evaluated with a dexamethasone suppression test (DST), but false positives occur. Researchers examined whether free cortisol assessment during DST would aid in diagnosis.
Advanced Thyroid Imaging May Aid Diagnosis of Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules
Fine needle biopsy is the standard diagnostic test for indeterminate thyroid nodules, but increases medical costs and causes anxiety in patients. Researchers explored whether targeted use of Thyroid Imaging, Reporting, and Data System (TI-RADS) could provide faster and less-invasive diagnoses.
Oral Health in Older Adults Linked to Bone Density Measurements
Bone density often decreases with age and is closely related to overall physical performance. Researchers studied whether the relationship between bone density and overall physical health extended to oral health as well.
High Cardiovascular Risks Linked to Persistent Subclinical Hypothyroidism
Persistent subclinical hypothyroidism is linked to severe cardiovascular disease; monitoring thyroid levels may aid in identifying patients at risk.
Ultrasound Images and Thyroid Dysfunction Show Links in Thyroid Disease
Some studies have suggested there is an association between abnormalities seen on thyroid ultrasound and thyroid disease. Researchers in Seoul, South Korea sought to find a more definitive connection.
