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.

Treatment With Levothyroxine Lessens Signs and Symptoms of Common Metabolic Conditions in Patients With Central Hypothyroidism
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.
Medicare Claims Database Useful for Detecting Arrhythmogenic Risk of QT-Prolonging Drugs
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.
Thyroid Functioning Biomarkers May be Related to Blood Lipid Profiles
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 Hypothyroid Patients With Positive Anti-Thyroid Antibodies May Develop More Severe Disease
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.
Patients With Underlying Medical Conditions Now a Priority for COVID-19 Vaccination
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 Not at Increased Risk for SARS-CoV-2 Infection
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.
Total Thyroidectomy Not Associated With Substantial Increase in Complications as Compared to Standard Treatment
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.
Changes in Mass of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Glands May Be New Target for Intervention in Alcohol Addiction
The researchers developed a mathematical model to analyze the fundamental reason for a potential hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal opponent process for alcohol addiction.
Dysglycemia Linked With Advanced Thyroid Cancer in Those Aged 55 Years or Older
Study authors performed a retrospective review of a thyroid cancer cohort to evaluate the association between metabolic health and severity of thyroid cancer.
