Occurrence of Graves ’ Orbitopathy and Graves’ Hyperthyroidism after a Trauma to the Eye
Discussion: The development of GO after an eye trauma may reflect tissue damage with release of autoantigens and consequent autoimmunity in a predisposed individual (our patient had a familial history of autoimmune thyroid disease). The subsequent development of hyperthyroidism is in keeping with the hypothesis that GH and GO are due to autoimmunity against antigens present both in the thyroid and in orbital tissues.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Impact of Serum TSH and Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody Levels on Lymph Node Fine-Needle Aspiration Thyroglobulin Measurements in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Patients
Conclusion: US-guided FNA-Tg proved to be a useful examination in the follow-up of patients with DTC, independently of TSH status and the presence of TgAb.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Thyroidectomy Improves Tracheal Anatomy and Airflow in Patients with Nodular Goiter: A Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusions: In patients with symptomatic benign nodular goiter, thyroidectomy resulted in substantial improvements in tracheal anatomy and improvements in inspiratory flow, which were followed by gains in HRQoL. This information is pertinent when counseling patients before choice of treatment.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Are Perinatal Events Risk Factors for Childhood Thyroid Autoimmunity?
Conclusions: Thyroid autoimmunity was found in 6.9% of the 10-year-old children who were being followed for their risk of type 1 diabetes. No relation to perinatal factors was found, with the exception of a possible association between prematurity and TGAb. Family history of autoimmune diseases increased the risk of thyroid autoimmunity.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Neonatal Exposure to 6-n-Propyl-Thiouracil, an Anti-Thyroid Drug, Alters Expression of Hepatic DNA Methyltransferases, Methyl CpG-Binding Proteins, Gadd45a, p53, and PCNA in Adult Male Rats
Conclusion: The results suggest that neonatal exposure of male rats to PTU resulted in alteration in the expression of proteins that are associated with DNA methylation and genome stabilization in adult rat liver.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Consumptive Hypothyroidism: Case Report of Hepatic Hemangioendotheliomas Successfully Treated with Vincristine and Systematic Review of the Syndrome
Conclusions: CHS is a rare form of hypothyroidism that occurs in children and adults, usually linked to hepatic vascular tumors. The condition is associated with high lethality. Prompt diagnosis, followed by high-dose thyroid hormone replacement and tumor-directed therapy are the keys to optimize outcomes.Eur Thyroid J 2017;6:321 –327 (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and PET/CT in Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: The patient-relevant benefits of PET or PET/CT in thyroid cancer could not be evaluated satisfactorily based on the included studies. It remains unclear whether higher diagnostic test accuracy leads to changes in therapeutic strategies and better patient-relevant outcomes.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)
