OBJECTIVE
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) increases the prevalence of kidney and urogenital malformations. There are limited studies considering different aspects of kidney function in well-controlled CH patients. We evaluated some features of kidney function in euthyroid children with CH who have
Hypothyroidism from iodide transport deficiency is a rare disease, especially when found in two affected siblings. Treatment with high doses of iodide has been recommended, but no long term results have been reported. Two siblings with congenital hypothyroidism due to total failure to transport
The etiology of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is important in determining its severity, prognosis, genetic counseling and clinical management.
OBJECTIVE
investigate the causes of CH and their severity using serum levels of FreeT4 and TSH.
METHODS
243 neonates with CH (61% were girls) diagnosed by
The consequences of iodine deficiency occurring still in Poland include serious health disorders in the population, such as psycho- somatic retardation, hypothyroidism, endemic goitre, even cretinism. Administration of iodized edible salt with daily diet is an effective method for prevention of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the causes of congenital hypothyroidism in children more than 3 years of age and to document the frequency of transient vs permanent hypothyroidism.
METHODS
Hospital based observational study.
METHODS
Pediatric endocrine clinic of a medical college.
METHODS
Children over 3
Thyroid gland diseases vary according to the environment. In sub-Saharan Africa, they are also influenced by population isolation and the absence of food self-sufficiency, both factors affecting the onset and persistence of iodine-deficiency goiters. More cosmopolitan diseases are now added to these
Cretinism is a disease characterized by neurological defects associated with severe iodine deficiency. In a rat model of severe iodine deficiency, we investigated the distribution pattern of trace elements (iodine [I], selenium [Se], and bromine [Br] in brain tissue samples; potassium [K], calcium
The concentration of ouabain binding sites (OBS), a measure of the abundance of sodium/potassium-dependent ATPase (Na/K-ATPase), was measured in cerebral cortex (CC), cerebellum (CBL), brown adipose tissue (BAT), and heart of neonatal rats with congenital hypothyroidism. In euthyroid rats, the
Five cases, 2 males and 3 females, with absence of iodide concentrating mechanism are reported. Three of the five subjects are siblings and the eldest sister has no symptom to account for the cretinism. All 5 cases have improved clinically following the administration of potassium iodide and 4 cases
OBJECTIVE
Iodine deficiency disorders continue to be a severe problem in many parts of Central Asia, causing delayed mental development and cretinism in indigenous populations. In some areas, iodized salt has not succeeded in controlling this problem. In southern Xinjiang Province of China, we tried
Since the main reason of endemic goiter is the avoidable iodine deficiency, this in an unnecessary disease. In Austria an exemplary iodized salt prophylaxis was introduced in 1963. Thanks to this iodized salt prophylaxis endemic cretinism has died out. The incidence of hypothyroidism in newborns is
Severe iodine deficiency still occurs in many countries, and causes cretinism and mental impairment. In southern Xinjiang province, China, after usual methods of iodine supplementation had failed, we iodinated irrigation water to increase iodine in soil, crops, animals, and human beings. 5%
Iodine is an essential micronutrient, but iodine deficiency remains common worldwide, including many African countries. In South Africa endemic goitre was first noted in the 1920s. Several subsequent surveys have indicated its widespread persistence, despite the limited availability of iodised salt.
BACKGROUND
Both inadequate and high intakes of iodine are associated with thyroid disease and associated abnormalities. Consumption of foods deficient in iodine induces hypothyroidism. Conversely, excessive intake of the nutrient precipitates hyperthyroidism. Iodine deficiency causes impairment of
At the time after the Second World War, endemic goiter was present in most parts of Croatia with a prevalence of more than 50% and presence of cretinism. In the village of Rude near Zagreb, goiter was detected in 85% of school children with 2.3% of cretins in the village population. In 1953 the
