Summary: Recently, Zaborek et al. raised a Poisson regression model for levothyroxine(LT4) dosing scheme to predict individual dose of LT4 after thyroidectomy: daily LT4 dose=e[2.02+0.01(W)-0.0037(A )-0.098(F)-0.01(B)+0.007(T)+0.108(I)-0.014(M), where W is the weight of the patient (Kg), A is the age of the patient (years), and F is the gender (for women 1, male is 0), B represents the patient's body mass ...

Summary: Rationale: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome is characterized by the development of numerous colorectal polyps. If left untreated, these patients have a chance of nearly 100% of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) at a young age. Therefore, guidelines recommend a prophylactic colectomy during early adulthood. Even after colectomy, most patients will develop adenomas in the retained rect...

Summary: ST-1891-201 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, crossover, Phase 2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of hormone replacement therapy with ST-1891 compared to levothyroxine in patients with primary hypothyroidism.

Summary: This is a multi-center, prospective, parallel-group, open-label, randomized clinical study in one hundred and twenty-six (126) neonates and infants diagnosed with CH.~Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to Treatment (Tirosint®-SOL) or Control (conventional therapy with levothyroxine sodium crushed tablets).

Summary: Traditionally, surgery has been the standard recommendation for treating papillary thyroid cancer. The risk of surgery including permanent hoarseness, permanent hypocalcemia, a mid-cervical scar, and the potential for permanent hypothyroidism may be unacceptable for some patients, especially with low risk papillary thyroid carcinoma. The recent American Thyroid Association guidelines have proposed...

Summary: To offer the possibility of a treatment that could achieve a meaningful reduction in the incidence of post-radiation therapy hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction may develop from a few months to several years after patients have completed their radiation treatment. In children with chronic diseases, or given lengthy anti-neoplastic treatments, recurrent or persistent endocrine disorders may have a ...

Summary: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), which includes papillary and follicular cancer, comprises the vast majority (>90%) of all thyroid cancers. The yearly incidence has nearly tripled from 4.9 per 100,000 in 1975 to 14.3 per 100,000 in 2009. Almost the entire change has been attributed to an increase in the incidence of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). This increase in incidence is likely driven by...

Summary: Hypothyroidism is a common disease that is successfully treated with the replacement of thyroid hormones in the form of levothyroxine. Levothyroxine is drug used in the first line of substitution therapy because it appropriately mimics physiological secretion of thyroxine (T4) and its peripheral conversion to triiodothyronine (T3). However, due to its narrow therapeutic index, and because it is ad...

Summary: This project analyzes the relationship between type 2 deiodinase gene polymorphism and the TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy in thyroid cancer patients with thyroidectomy, and explored the factors influencing TSH inhibitory treatment efficacy. It further explores whether patients with diO2-Thr92ALA genotype or DIO2 Orfa-Gly3ASP genotype should choose T4+T3 treatment, and the effect of different tr...

Summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between serum rT3 (serum reverse triiodothyronine) concentrations, T3/T4 (triiodothyronine/thyroxine) ratio, and persistent symptoms /quality of life in treated hypothyroid patients.~Investigators are going to measure TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), free-T3, free-T4, reverse-T3 levels, biochemical markers of hypothyroidism and quality of lif...

Summary: Side effects of opioids can from practical view be divided into short-term and long-term. Nervous system disorders are manifested by psychological status changes of the patient and may cause confusion, mental and somatic dependency, dizziness and so on. Influencing the vegetative and cardiovascular system hypotension can occur what is manifestation of vasodilation and decreased myocardial inotropi...

Summary: Aortic stenosis is highly prevalent in advancing age. The prognosis of this disease has dramatically changed with the surgical replacement of the aortic valve and the trans catheter aortic valve re-placement (TAVI). The TAVI procedure is also successful in octogenarians and frail patients. However, the evaluation before the TAVI procedure requires a high dosage of iodinated contrast agent with, co...
