Subclinical Hypothyroidism Not Associated With Higher Mortality Rates in Older Patients Post Angioplasty
Subclinical hypothyroidism is reportedly associated with an increased risk of adverse events in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.

Central hypothyroidism occurs as a result of a poorly functioning thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that only reaches low to normal levels. In this featured study, researchers examine whether levothyroxine treatment can raise TSH levels and resolve metabolic issues.
Study authors evaluated whether using an observational study that includes Medicare claims data could detect the proarrhythmic risk of medications known to prolong the QT interval.
Observational studies using Mendelian randomization have demonstrated a causal relationship between normal range thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and blood lipids. In this featured study, researchers attempt to show a causal relationship between thyroid function and lipids.
Pediatric patients with hypothyroidism can have either positive or negative anti-thyroid antibodies, yet still exhibit signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. In this featured study, researchers address the difference in disease status based on positive or negative test results for anti-thyroid antibodies.
In March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched phase 1c of its COVID-19 vaccine roll-out plan. Diabetes patients and patients with other underlying medical conditions are included on the list. Learn more in this article.
Patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism were thought to possibly have an increased risk of developing a severe course of COVID-19 because SARS-CoV-2 uses angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as as an entry point for a host cell infection.
Thyroidectomy is reported to be a safe and effective treatment hyperthyroidism. In this featured nonrandomized clinical trial, physicians compare the incidence of morbidity after total thyroidectomy among patients with preoperative hyperthyroidism as compared to patients with preoperative euthyroidism.
The researchers developed a mathematical model to analyze the fundamental reason for a potential hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal opponent process for alcohol addiction.
Study authors performed a retrospective review of a thyroid cancer cohort to evaluate the association between metabolic health and severity of thyroid cancer.
