Mailman School PH study finds increase in thyroid diseases risk from exposure at Chernobyl
Persons exposed to radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident as children and adolescents have an increased risk of follicular adenoma or benign tumor of the thyroid gland, according to researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. view more (2008-02-20)
Role of Thyroid Hormones in Slumber Under Investigation at Rutgers-Camden
While the thyroid has long been linked to metabolism, cutting-edge research underway at Rutgers University-Camden is investigating the possibility that thyroid hormones have an important role in sleep regulation. view more (2007-08-08)
Longer-lived rodents have lower levels of thyroid hormone
The thyroid may play an important role in longevity, with longer-lived rodents showing significantly lower levels of a thyroid hormone that speeds metabolism, a new study has found. view more (2006-10-10)
Presence of gene mutation helps guide thyroid cancer treatment
A specific gene mutation may be useful in predicting the level of aggression of thyroid cancer and help guide treatment options and follow-up care, according to new study findings. view more (2007-09-06)
Thyroid hormone, brain development, and behavior
Dr. Bjorn Vennstrom and colleagues in Spain and at the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) have identified novel neural functions of thyroid hormone (TH), revealing that it is required during discrete periods of brain development to confer "normal" behavior. view more (2005-08-30)
Specific genetic cause of fetal alcohol-related developmental disorders found
Alcohol consumption by pregnant women hinders brain development in their children by interfering with the genetic processes that control thyroid hormone levels in the fetal brain, a new animal study found. view more (2009-06-11)
Hepatitis C increases risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Hepatitis C infection is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (malignancy involving lymphatic tissue) of 20 percent to 30 percent, and a three-fold increase in the risk of another type of lymphoma, according to a study in the May 9 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-05-09)
NEW STUDY SUGGESTS THYROID HRT "NO BETTER THAN PLACEBO" WHERE PATIENTS HAVE NORMAL THYROID LEVELS
Recent press reports have highlighted the suggestion that patients should be given thyroid hormones if they show the symptoms of hypothyroidism, even if they are biochemically normal. Now an important controlled study, presented at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham, suggests that taking thyroxine gives no significant benefit to... view more... (2000-03-06)
Thyrotropin levels associated with Alzheimer's disease risk in women
Women with low or high levels of the hormone thyrotropin, which affects thyroid gland function and thyroid hormone levels, appear to have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to a report in the July 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-07-29)
New genetic link between cardiac arrhythmias and thyroid dysfunction identified
Genes previously known to be essential to the coordinated, rhythmic electrical activity of cardiac muscle -- a healthy heartbeat -- have now also been found to play a key role in thyroid hormone (TH) biosynthesis, according to Weill Cornell Medical College researchers. view more (2009-09-21)
Mild Hyperthyroidism Linked To Increased Mortality
Elderly people with slightly raised thyroid hormone concentrations-but who do not have overt thyroid disease-could be at an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Low blood concentration of the hormone thyrotropin is a marker of thyroid-gland overactivity... view more... (2001-09-12)
Role of microRNA Identified in Thyroid Cancer
The presence of only five tiny strands of RNA is enough to clearly distinguish cancerous thyroid tissue from otherwise normal tissue, scientists say. view more (2005-12-23)
Thyrotropin levels may be associated with coronary heart disease mortality in women
Women with increasing levels of thyrotropin within the normal range appear to have a higher risk of fatal coronary heart disease, according to a report in the April 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-29)
Thyroid treatment no 'quick fix' for weight loss in children
Children treated for hypothyroidism aren't likely to drop pounds with treatment for the condition says a new study in the Journal of Pediatrics. The study is the first to examine the link between hypothyroidism treatment and weight loss in pediatric patients. view more (2008-01-04)
Nurses at risk
Nurses are spending too much time with some of their patients GUIDELINES have been drawn up to prevent nurses being exposed to unacceptable levels of radiation by patients. The guidelines come as another study suggests low levels of radiation may pose unsuspected dangers. Every year, thousands of... view more... (2001-12-05)
Cosmetic surgery techniques can enhance thyroid surgery results
Cosmetic surgery techniques, such as having a patient sit or stand while incision sites are marked so they blend into natural lines of the body, can improve the aesthetic result of thyroid surgery as well, researchers say. view more (2007-07-10)
ECCO 13-Chernobyl legacy sheds light on link between thyroid cancer and radiation exposure
The unique circumstances of this study were provided for by the legacy of the radioactive accident at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in April 1986. view more (2005-11-02)
Radioactive scorpion venom for fighting cancer
Health physicists are establishing safe procedures for a promising experimental brain-cancer therapy which uses a radioactive version of a protein found in scorpion venom. view more (2006-06-28)
Thyroid surgery safe for older patients, study finds
Thyroid surgery is safe for older patients, say physicians who found only slight differences in rates of complications and hospital readmissions in a multi-year study. view more (2009-10-20)
Study of thyroxine transporter molecule shows how key hormone hitches a lift round body
- findings may aid the development of drugs to treat thyroid disorders Structural analysis has revealed for the first time how a key messenger in the body's chemical communication system hooks up with one of the proteins that delivers it to sites of action in the body. Using X-ray crystallography, scientists from Imperial College London and the... view more... (2003-05-14)
