This study recommends limiting routine thyroid function screening to children with alopecia areata who have medical histories of Down syndrome, atopy, or family histories of thyroid disease.

This research observed that some hypothyroid patients on adequate levothyroxine therapy continue to experience symptoms like poor concentration and hair loss, with findings suggesting an elevated anti-TPO level increases the likelihood of such symptoms, despite normal TSH levels.

This chapter discusses hypothyroidism in dogs, highlighting that most cases are due to primary thyroid gland issues and that some breeds may have a hereditary predisposition; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this prospective observational study, researchers observed that hyperthyroidism significantly affects cardiac function, often resulting in reversible cardiac changes, with echocardiography playing a crucial role in diagnosis and monitoring.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with obesity who was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, leading to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and bradycardia. Following treatment with IV levothyroxine and liothyronine, his symptoms improved, and he achieved significant weight loss over five months.

Children with alopecia areata should only get thyroid screening if they have Down syndrome, a family history of thyroid disease, atopy, or signs of thyroid problems.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata have a significantly higher prevalence of thyroid disorders and elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid auto-antibodies compared to healthy individuals, with a 4.7 times greater risk of thyroid dysfunction among alopecia areata patients.

In this study, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) induced IL-4/IL-13 from T cells, prompting sebum secretion and adipose loss, suggesting IL-4/IL-13 may affect skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.

This review discusses the hormonal and pathological factors contributing to gynecomastia and premature thelarche in children but presents no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for careful evaluation.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

In this study, 56% of patients with hypothyroidism had dry, coarse skin, while weight gain and lethargy were also common complaints.

This review discusses the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of autoimmune skin diseases and their associations with thyroid diseases, reporting no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 72-year-old man who developed symptoms of fatigue and cold intolerance after discontinuing his levothyroxine treatment for hypothyroidism six months earlier.

This study found that over-expression of thymosin beta-4 in transgenic mice accelerated wound healing and hair growth, but did not affect tumor progression despite stimulating tumor metastasis.

The researchers reported a case of a 51-year-old woman with primary hypothyroidism who developed anaphylaxis to intravenous levothyroxine after being unresponsive to oral formulations, highlighting potential allergic reactions to IV treatments in such patients.

This review provides a detailed overview of Hashimoto thyroiditis, discussing its epidemiology, risk factors, genetic and environmental contributors, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment plans due to varied causes and symptoms.

This case study describes a previously unknown association of the PIBIDS complex with autoimmune thyroiditis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a five-year-old Indian child.

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 study reported the first known case of tertiary hypothyroidism in a dog, diagnosed after a Labrador treated for hyperadrenocorticism presented with related symptoms and an MRI-revealed pituitary mass.

This case study suggests that marijuana use may be associated with low TSH levels without causing thyroid dysfunction in humans.

This review discusses the classic skin characteristics of hypothyroidism, notably generalized myxedema caused by increased glycosaminoglycan deposition, and reports no clinical results.

This study surveyed individuals and found that awareness and understanding of thyroid disorders, particularly symptom recognition and the importance of early detection, are low, highlighting the need for targeted public health initiatives to improve knowledge and management.

This review discusses the difficulty of diagnosing hypothyroidism due to its diverse, nonspecific symptoms that can vary greatly among patients and often mimic other conditions, which may require healthcare providers to be vigilant across various specialties to recognize and diagnose the condition effectively.

This study found a strong association between thyroid disorders and dermatological conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia areata, and melasma, suggesting a benefit to including thyroid function tests in routine investigations for these conditions.

In this study, common skin manifestations in hypothyroidism patients included dry, coarse skin, pigmentary disorders, and telogen effluvium.

Early diagnosis and treatment of TPP can prevent complications.

This systematic review of Mendelian randomization studies reports that autoimmune thyroid disease is associated with increased risk for numerous health conditions, including coronary atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, while decreasing risks for others, such as lung cancer.

This case study reports that carbimazole therapy led to significant hair regrowth and a drop in thyrotropin receptor antibody levels in an 11-year-old girl diagnosed with alopecia areata and Graves' disease.

This article emphasizes the importance of thyroid function monitoring and management in women, particularly for those planning pregnancy or postpartum, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the skin, hair, nail, and mucosal changes linked to various pediatric endocrine disorders but provides no new clinical findings.
