Incidental thyroid nodules on COVID-19-related thoracic tomography scans: a giant cohort
CONCLUSION: Increased use of thoracic CT during the COVID-19 pandemic probably enabled improved detection of ITNs. In this large-scale study, the prevalence of thyroid nodules reported with thoracic CT was 3.82%, while thyroid cancer was detected in 1.30% of patients evaluated with US. We recommend against using thoracic CT scans as a direct means of assessing thyroid disease owing to the low number of detected cancer cases in our cohort of 35,113 patients. However, thoracic CT scans obtained for various reasons might provide the opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease, including cancers.PMID:38103...

Association of serum testosterone with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a nationally representative sample of White, Black, and Hispanic men
CONCLUSION: Low levels of T were associated with an increased prevalence of self-reported COPD in the full and subset samples. Similar associations were observed after stratifying by smoking status, body fatness, and race/ethnicity in the full sample and subset sample. Prospective studies are warranted to confirm these significant associations among understudied and underserved populations.PMID:38064143 | DOI:10.1007/s42000-023-00506-x (Source: Hormones)

Genetics of hereditary forms of primary hyperparathyroidism
Hormones (Athens). 2023 Dec 1. doi: 10.1007/s42000-023-00508-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), a relatively common disorder characterized by hypercalcemia with raised or inappropriately normal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations, may occur as part of a hereditary syndromic disorder or as a non-syndromic disease. The associated syndromic disorders include multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1-5 (MEN1-5) and hyperparathyroidism with jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndromes, and the non-syndromic forms include familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia types 1-3 (FHH1-3), familial isolated hyperpara...
