The impact of hormones in autoimmune cutaneous diseases
CONCLUSION: Pregnancy, menopause, contraceptive use, hormone replacement therapy, and breast cancer treatment drugs result in substantial shifts in hormone levels. Additionally, hormone levels are altered by aromatase inhibitors and anti-estrogen medications. These fluctuations can modulate mechanisms influencing autoimmune skin abnormalities.PMID:38317519 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2024.2312241 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

Incidence of subclinical and overt hypothyroidism in children treated with [131I]mIBG: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Hypothyroidism appears to occur frequently in children treated with [131I]mIBG, which should be monitored closely after the radionuclide treatment to start hormone replacement therapy as soon as needed. The duration, as well as the type of thyroid blockade, seem to influence the incidence of hypothyroidism; however, more data from prospective evaluations are needed.PMID:38319674 | DOI:10.23736/S1824-4785.24.03552-0 (Source: Quarterly Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)
