A case of thyroid hormone resistance: a rare mutation
We describe a 67-years old, Caucasian woman, with past history of subtotal thyroidectomy due to diffuse goiter, who presents with a recurrence of goiter. Although she is clinically euthyroid, laboratory evaluation shows persistent hyperthyroxinemia with non-suppressed TSH. Response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) test was normal and TSH concentrations were not suppressed during oral administration of suprafisiologic doses of levothyroxine (L-T4). Peripheral blood DNA was extracted from the patient and a mutation was found localized in cluster one, at codon 346 of the ligand binding...

Large thyroid cyst in a patient with congenital hypothyroidism
We describe a case of hypothyroidism due to dyshormonogenesis whose one of the previously solid nodules degenerates into a large cyst. A 22-year-old male was referred to our clinic for evaluation of enlarging thyroid nodule. Hypothyroidism was diagnosed in infancy, however due to poor compliance to treatment TSH values were elevated most of the times. When he was fifteen the first nodule was detected which was a solid cold nodule. Fine needle aspiration was in favor of benign follicular nodule. Seven years later we found a large multi nodular thyroid wit...

Marrow hypoplasia: a rare complication of untreated Grave’s disease
We present a female patient with the typical symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, without any thionamides treatment before, associated with pancytopenia, which recovered after euthyroidism state was achieved. Although the major cases of pancytopenia in Grave’s disease are seen as a complication of antithyroid drugs (thioamides), in this case report the alteration in blood tests was associated with untreated hyperthyroidism. In the literature review, we found 19 case reports between 1981 to 2012, but it has been related to a hypercellular bone marrow with periferic destru...

Reduction of functional mobility and cognitive capacity in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Conclusions Patients with T2DM presented worse functional mobility and cognitive performance, supporting the hypothesis that DM2 influence functional mobility and cognitive ability, regardless of neuropathic or vascular complications. These data suggest that hyperglycemia is an aggravating factor in the performance of activities requiring mental functions such as attention, working memory and orientation.

Evaluation of cytopathological findings in thyroid nodules with macrocalcification: macrocalcification is not innocent as it seems
Conclusions Our findings suggest that macrocalcifications are not always benign and are not associated with increased nondiagnostic FNAB results. Macrocalcification, particularly the parenchymal type should be taken into consideration. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2014;58(9):939-45 Objetivo A microcalcificação está fortemente correlacionada com o câncer papilar de tiroide. Não está claro se a macrocalcificação também está associada com malignidade. Neste estudo, nosso objetivo foi avaliar o resultado da biópsia de ...

Thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer in Graves’ disease
Conclusions Especially Graves’ patients who have been decided to be followed up should be evaluated carefully during the follow-up in terms of thyroid cancer which may accompany. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2014;58(9):933-8 Objetivo A frequência da ocorrência de nódulos tiroidianos acompanhando a doença de Graves e o risco de câncer de tiroide na presença desses nódulos é controversa. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a frequência de nódulos tiroidianos e o risco de câncer de tiroide em pacientes operados por doença de Graves. Sujeitos ...

The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome increases through the quartiles of thyroid stimulating hormone in a population-based sample of euthyroid subjects
Conclusion The prevalence of MetS increased with higher QTSH within the euthyroid range, mostly by an increase in the dyslipidemia. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2014;58(9):926-32 Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a prevalência e características da síndrome metabólica (MetS) e seus elementos em relação ao TSH em sujeitos eutireoides. Materiais e métodos Foram analisados, em um estudo transversal, 2.153 adultos eutiroides, de 47,2 ± 14,5 anos (20-94) sem terapia antitiroidiana ou de reposição...

The TCF7L2 rs7903146 (C/T) polymorphism is associated with risk to type 2 diabetes mellitus in Southern-Brazil
Conclusions Our results confirm the association between the TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism and increase risk for type 2 diabetes in Southern-Brazil. Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2014;58(9):918-25 Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a associação entre o polimorfismo rs7903146 (C/T) no gene TCF7L2 e o diabetes melito tipo 2 em uma população do sul do Brasil. Materiais e métodos O polimorfismo rs7903146 (C/T) no gene TCF7L2 foi genotipado em 953 pacientes com diabetes melito tipo 2 e em 535 indivíduos não diabéticos. Todos os indiv...
