A retrospective review of the multidisciplinary management of medullary thyroid cancer: eligibility for systemic therapy
ConclusionLocalized and regional MTC treatment patterns reflect multidisciplinary management based on disease characteristics. Patients with distant disease had poor outcomes with 28% of patients dying from disease. In our cohort the minority of patients ultimately received systemic therapy due to timing and lack of TKI availability. (Source: Thyroid Research)

Comparative frequency of four different types of pregnancy-associated thyrotoxicosis in a single thyroid centre
ConclusionsWe named gestational thyrotoxicosis, new onset of Graves ’ disease during pregnancy, postpartum destructive thyrotoxicosis, and postpartum Graves’ thyrotoxicosis as pregnancy-associated thyrotoxicosis. A clinically significant number of women developed Graves’ disease in the postpartum period in a single thyroid centre. (Source: Thyroid Research)

Malignant Struma ovarii in a 30-year old nulliparous patient
ConclusionsWe believe that aggressive surgical management followed by radioiodine therapy is best to reduce recurrence risk and optimize survival. The broad scope of interventions needed to treat malignant struma ovarii require a strong interdisciplinary team. (Source: Thyroid Research)

Concordance between the TIRADS ultrasound criteria and the BETHESDA cytology criteria on the nontoxic thyroid nodule
ConclusionsThe TIRADS criteria has a good concordance with the Bethesda system. The ultrasound findings of benign pathology are aligned with the cytology results. The correct interpretation of the two findings helps the clinician to reduce the risk of unnecessary invasive procedures in patients with a low probability of presenting thyroid cancer, while facilitating the identification of patients at higher risk of cancer.

Study of Optimal Replacement of Thyroxine in the Elderly (SORTED) – results from the feasibility randomised controlled trial
ConclusionsIt is feasible to perform a randomised controlled trial of thyroid hormones in hypothyroid patients aged 80 or older. A definitive trial would require collaboration with a large number of General Practices and the provision of home visits to achieve recruitment to time and target. Power calculations should take into account that approximately 12 % of those approached will be randomised and 1 in 6 participants are likely to withdraw from the study. Finally, several dose adjustments may be required to achieve target serum TSH levels in this age group.Trial registrationISRCTN Number:16043724 Registered 22 June 20...

Predicting malignancy in thyroid nodules: feasibility of a predictive model integrating clinical, biochemical, and ultrasound characteristics
Conclusions
A predictive model for malignancy using a combination of clinical, biochemical, and radiological characteristics may support clinicians in reducing unnecessary invasive procedures in patients with thyroid nodules. (Source: Thyroid Research)
