European Thyroid Association Guidelines for Ultrasound Malignancy Risk Stratification of Thyroid Nodules in Adults: The EU-TIRADS
Thyroid ultrasound (US) is a key examination for the management of thyroid nodules. Thyroid US is easily accessible, noninvasive, and cost-effective, and is a mandatory step in the workup of thyroid nodules. The main disadvantage of the method is that it is operator dependent. Thyroid US assessment of the risk of malignancy is crucial in patients with nodules, in order to select those who should have a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy performed. Due to the pivotal role of thyroid US in the management of patients with nodules, the European Thyroid Association convened a panel of international experts to set up European g...

Performance and Specificity of 6 Immunoassays for TSH Receptor Antibodies: A Multicenter Study
Conclusions: The sample dilution study showed higher detection sensitivity for the TSAb bioassay, and the antibody mixture study demonstrated exclusive specificity of the bioassays over all automated and ELISA binding assays.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Total Thyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer Followed by Thyroid Storm due to Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody Stimulation of Metastatic Thyroid Tissue
Conclusions: We present a patient initially diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis and subsequently with metastatic follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer. It is suggested that TRAB stimulated the highly differentiated extrathyroidal metastatic thyroid tissue to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormone, delayed diagnosis, and potential aggravation of the course of thyroid cancer.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Insight into Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Gross Pathological Specimen Shrinkage and Its Influence on TNM Staging
Conclusion: Precise thyroid tumor US measurement may differ significantly from that obtained by histopathological assessment, which may result in a different TNM staging and subsequent patient management.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Atypia of Undetermined Significance in Thyroid Fine Needle Aspirates: a 4-Year Audit of Thy3a Reporting
Conclusions: The Thy3a subclassification has varied diagnostic criteria and lacks reproducibility. Despite the rare use of the Thy3a category at our centre, our diagnostic accuracy remained high. At this time, further Thy3a cohort studies are required to assess the real benefits of this category.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Effects of Thyroid Hormone on Urinary Concentrating Ability
Conclusion: Short-term, severe hypothyroidism has no effect on urinary concentrating ability. Our study confirms the well-known effects of thyroid hormone on serum creatinine concentrations.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

Does Graves ’ Orbitopathy Ever Disappear? Answers to an Old Question
Conclusions: GO is a chronic disease in the vast majority of patients. Even after a very long time since its onset, complete disappearance is rare, although a minority of patients believe they do not have GO anymore and an even lower proportion do not have relevant GO signs. Our findings have obvious implications in patient management and counseling.Eur Thyroid J (Source: European Thyroid Journal)

European Thyroid Association Guidelines regarding Thyroid Nodule Molecular Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology Diagnostics
Molecular fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology diagnostics has the potential to address the inherent limitation of FNA cytology which is an indeterminate (atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance follicular neoplasm) cytology. Because of the emerging role of molecular FNA cytology diagnostics, the European Thyroid Association convened a panel of international experts to review methodological aspects, indications, results, and limitations of molecular FNA cytology diagnostics. The panel reviewed the evidence for the diagnostic value of mutation panel assessment (including at leastB...
