OBJECTIVE
This study investigated the role of a steroid pretreatment on the pregnancy rate and pregnancy outcomes in patients positive for antithyroid antibodies who were undergoing induction of ovulation and intrauterine insemination (IUI).
METHODS
A double-blind, randomized, prospective cohort
In intrauterine pregnancies of uncertain viability with a gestational sac without a yolk sac (with a mean of three orthogonal transvaginal ultrasound measurements <25mm), the suspected pregnancy loss should only be confirmed after a follow-up scan at least 14 days later shows no embryo with cardiac
OBJECTIVE
The impact of dental amalgam removal on the levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibodies was studied in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) with and without mercury allergy.
METHODS
Thirty-nine patients with AT were tested by an optimized
In view of the recommendation that fluoride supplements via drinking water or table salt prevent dental caries, we analyzed whether fluoride had antithyroid properties in a sensitive experimental model. Rats were given either 60 or 200 micrograms/ml fluoride in the drinking water. This raised the
Light microscopic numerical and morphometric studies were conducted on the olfactory epithelium of postnatal normal and hypothyroid rats. The normal rat olfactory epithelium undergoes marked growth and development during the suckling period (days 1-25): thickness, 50%; area, x 8, total number of
The authors refer to a case report in which two rare clinical syndromes, the Tolosa Hunt Syndrome (THS) and the polyglandular auto-immune syndrome (PGA) co-exist in the same patient and make a detailed analysis of the literature regarding this kind of diseases. The THS is a rare clinical condition

We explored the mechanisms underlying the differential effects of two olfactory toxicants, the herbicide 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCBN) and the anti-thyroid drug methimazole (MMZ), on olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) regeneration in mouse olfactory epithelium (OE). DCBN, but not MMZ, induced
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) may affect not only the liver but also various nonhepatic tissues and organs and may combine with many etiologically unrelated diseases and morbid conditions. Numerous nonhepatic manifestations in HCV infection have been previously reported. For some (eg,

Clinical manifestations of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) are caused by the overcompression of orbital tissues within the restricted orbital bone cavity. Impaired ocular blood flow may disrupt the retinal microstructure and functions. In this study, we aimed to investigate the macular and
