  • the association between low thyroid indexes and elevated lead levels merits attention because of the large number of workers exposed to lead and the similarities between the clinical features of adult lead poisoning and hypothyroidism.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Risk of Coronary Heart Disease, and l-Thyroxine Treatment: A N... - 0 views

  •  
    Hashimoto's hypothyroidism is associated with a 44% increase in Heart disease in women under the age o 49.  A non-significant change was seen in men.  This study found that T4 therapy reduced this risk.  A better study would have been if T4 was compared to T4 + T3.

Metabolic Effects of Liothyronine Therapy in Hypothyroidism: A Randomized, Double-Blind... - 0 views

  •  
    T3 shown increase weight loss, lower LDL, decrease apolipoprotein B, decrease T cholesterol versus T4.  This flies in the face of conventional medical dogma, that T 4 (synthroid, levothyroxine) is the only route of thyroid replacement.  In fact, this suppports the use of armour thyroid, a T4/T3 combination.

  •  
    This study points to an association between a low-normal TSH and cognitive decline in the elderly.  An association is not causative, but functional hypothyroidism does result in cognitive impairment, so the association would logically fit.  The results of this study do as well.

Desiccated Thyroid Extract Compared With Levothyroxine in the Treatment of Hypothyroidi... - 0 views

  • Our study has shown DTE therapy caused modest weight loss, and nearly half (48.6%) of the study patients expressed preference for DTE over l-T4
  • our study showed significantly higher TSH in the DTE-treated group, which suggests that the improvement observed in the DTE-treated group is not mediated through the changes in TSH levels
  •  
    Study finds desiccated thyroid (armour thyroid) was associated with great weight loss, mood improvement than T4 alone.  Desiccated thyroid was preferred by patients in the study.  Conversion rate was 100 mcg T4 to 88 mg desiccated thyroid.

  • The most striking abnormality detected in 75 sick euthyroid patients was a highly significant reduction in the mean total serum-triiodothyronine (T3) levels, with most patients having total T3 levels in the hypothyroid range. The severity of the illness correlated well with the reduction in total serum-T3 levels.

  • Patients received a median of six doses of nivolumab
  • four of the first 12 patients had partial responses
  • Nine (24% [95% CI 15–33]) of 37 patients achieved a response (seven partial responses and two complete responses

  • no treatment-related deaths
  • the most common adverse events were anaemia (26 [70%]), fatigue (25 [68%]), and rash
  • hypothyroidism
  • hypothyroidism
  • nivolumab-related autoimmune hypothyroidism, which resolved after a short course of corticosteroids
  • No grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred
  • Nivolumab resulted in objective responses in 24% of patients with metastatic SCCA
  • Historically, doublet chemotherapy with cisplatin and fluorouracil has been the most common treatment for patients with metastatic SCCA
  • our results suggest that immune checkpoint blockade agents might extend overall survival beyond currently available therapies, especially if provided early in the disease treatment course
  • the dose of nivolumab we used differs from the 2016 recommendation of a fixed 240 mg every 2 weeks
  • 25% of patients develop distant metastases
  • most patients with localised SCCA are cured by chemoradiation
  • More than 90% of cases of SCCA are linked to prior infection with human papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Within tumour cells, HPV oncoproteins are immunogenic and can trigger an anti-tumour host immune response by recruitment of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes
  • Tumour cells express PD-L1 and, on binding its inhibitory receptor PD-1 on the surface of T cells, downregulate T-cell activation and thwart the local anti-tumour immune response
  • Nivolumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody against PD-1 that disrupts this interaction, enabling T-cell cytotoxicity. It has activity as a monotherapy in advanced solid cancers, such as head and neck cancer, melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma
  •  
    study finds nivolumab helpful in some patients with surgically unresectable or metastatic anal cancer.  The dose used was 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks.
