This study found that low-dose radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer produced short-term adverse effects like loss of taste, xerostomia, and hair loss, which were self-limiting.

In this study, male patients treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine showed no negative impact on fertility, but long-term studies with larger groups are needed to further assess hormonal effects and sperm health after this treatment.

This article discusses hyperthyroidism in children, highlighting Graves' disease as the most common cause, and underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention to mitigate morbidity; no new clinical results are reported.

Cats lose fur due to various reasons, including allergies, infections, genetics, hormones, diet, cancer, stress, and some conditions are treatable while others are not.

This case study reported that a 40-year-old woman with Graves' disease developed severe thrombocytopenia after starting methimazole, suggesting a rare but serious risk of methimazole-induced immune thrombocytopenia and underscoring the need for close monitoring.

This case report describes the first known instance of a patient with myotonic dystrophy presenting with type I diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and follicular variant papillary thyroid cancer, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

This case report describes a rare conversion from Hashimoto's thyroiditis to Graves' disease in a 23-year-old male, requiring a shift from levothyroxine to methimazole and eventually radioactive iodine therapy.

This study reported that while both sorafenib and lenvatinib may require dose modifications due to adverse events in treating advanced or metastatic thyroid cancers, key differences in side effect profiles were observed.

This study found that 86% of patients with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were alive and nearly two-thirds remained in complete remission eight years after initial treatment with the radioimmunotherapy drug Bexxar.

This case report documents an instance of symptomatic hypothyroidism developing in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma after beginning treatment with orlistat.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman with pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) misdiagnosed as Graves disease, highlighting diagnostic challenges in managing this rare disorder.

This article discusses the side effects of radiation therapy on specific body areas and offers guidance on patient management, but it introduces no new results.

This review examines recent advances in bioelectronic nanogenerators for anti-cancer therapy, highlighting various transducing strategies such as photodynamic therapy and electrical stimulation, while also discussing the potential mechanisms for tissue repair and the challenges that lie ahead.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

Radioiodine-131 significantly accumulates in skin and hair.

This study found that 95% of untreated advanced-stage follicular lymphoma patients responded to a single course of the Bexxar regimen, with 75% achieving complete remission and remaining disease-free for years.

This case study reports an instance of adult-onset primary hypothyroidism with goiter in a cat, suggesting potential causes such as dietary iodine imbalance, chronic exposure to thyrotoxic substances, or a congenital form with late manifestation.

Metformin and thiazolidinediones are similarly effective for PCOS, but metformin is often preferred due to fewer side effects.

New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.

This review discusses the mechanisms and engineering techniques for enhancing the targeted delivery of extracellular vesicles in therapies but reports no new clinical findings; the authors encourage further exploration to advance clinical applications.

This consensus highlights that addressing nutritional and endocrine deficiencies through lifestyle modifications, nutritional support, and medical interventions is crucial for managing hair loss associated with endocrine and gynecological disorders, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists, nutritionists, endocrinologists, and gynecologists.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This review examines the differences in dermatology practices between Europe and North America, noting that European dermatologists often prioritize evaluating patients' psychosocial factors and utilize nondrug treatments, unlike their North American counterparts.

This research highlights the importance of considering hypothyroidism in dogs for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent potentially life-threatening complications, given its relative commonality compared to other diseases causing dermatological changes or obesity in these animals.

This review discusses the potential benefits of photobiomodulation for managing side effects of cancer therapy and provides specific guidelines for its use in supportive cancer care, without presenting new clinical results.
