This case report describes a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with both systemic lupus erythematosus and Graves' disease, illustrating the occurrence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes with specific combinations of autoimmune disorders.

TSH influences keratin expression in human hair follicles.

This study found that normal human epidermis expresses TSH and may be an indirect target of TSH signaling, with expression regulated by endocrine controls of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

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.

This case report discusses a 5-year-old boy with alopecia totalis who initially experienced regrowth after treatment with Prosential, minoxidil 2%, and clobetasol propionate 0.05%, but later relapsed.

This study developed and validated a computational model to optimize skin precooling methods for minimizing thermal damage during laser procedures.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

In this study, 35.4% of telogen effluvium patients showed ferritin deficiency and 34.2% had vitamin D deficiency, suggesting these should be included in TE screening; TSH testing should be individualized.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.

Toxic Shock Syndrome progresses quickly, often involves multiple organs, and is linked to Staphylococcus aureus toxins, with treatment options available but diagnostic challenges remaining.

This case report describes common thyroid disorders in a β-thalassemia patient with frequent blood transfusions, emphasizing the need for monitoring thyroid function in such patients.

Human hair follicles have their own thyroid hormone system.

In this report, a 35-year-old patient with beta thalassemia experienced thyroid dysfunction following repeated blood transfusions, highlighting that such disorders are common among transfused thalassemia patients.

The abstract describes the establishment of the TSHRS and its founding members but reports no new research findings.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with hypothyroidism was found to have Hashimoto thyroiditis after presenting with hair loss, short stature, and pubertal disturbances; the study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and personalized thyroid hormone therapy for better outcomes.

This article reviews historical and recent developments related to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), emphasizing the increase in cases among young women using tampons, and calls for new research tools but does not report new results.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.

This study reported that toxic shock syndrome, originally noted in children, is now predominantly associated with menstruating women, with some experiencing recurrence and complications like vocal cord paralysis and impaired finger sensation.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of thyroid storm, emphasizing the importance of a thorough history and review of systems to differentiate it from other conditions.

This study found that thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors are functionally expressed in various skin cells, implying potential physiological and pathological roles in skin, especially in conditions like autoimmune diseases.

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 report highlights that a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone was misdiagnosed as having Graves’ disease, leading to unnecessary radioactive iodine treatment.

In this study, researchers found that Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients, despite being in euthyroid status, experienced more severe extrathyroidal symptoms compared to healthy controls, and elevated thyroid antibodies were linked to lower health-related quality of life and increased inflammation.

Most patients with Tuberous sclerosis had neurological or skin issues, and over half had psychiatric problems.

This study found no significant differences in thyrotropin levels among patients with different types of nonscarring alopecia, though racial differences were observed in alopecia areata and telogen effluvium.

This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.

In this study, a 15-year-old girl presented with symptoms suggesting thyrotoxicosis, and through various diagnostic tests, silent thyroiditis was ultimately diagnosed after negative scintigraphy, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in thyroid disorders.

This case report details two siblings with trichothiodystrophy, identifying reduced hair sulfur content as essential for diagnosis despite varied symptoms complicating recognition.

A boy with toxic shock syndrome had severe heart rhythm problems but recovered with treatment.

In this study, researchers found varying levels of multiple autoantibody types among thyroid disorder patients, with 84.84% of those with immunological hypothyroidism reporting symptoms like weight gain and lethargy, whereas 81.81% of those with immune hyperthyroidism experienced hair loss.
