A long-term retrospective cohort-based risk-benefit analysis of augmenting total cumulative I-131 activity to 37GBq in differentiated thyroid cancer patients with skeletal metastases
The objective was to determine the maximum I-131 cumulative activity that could be safely administered without compromising efficacy. The secondary objective was to identify other prognostic factors affecting survival outcomes. Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study done at a tertiary-care institution comprising of data from January 1990-June 2020. 489 DTC patients having skeletal metastases with ≥12 months follow-up were included. Ninety-six percent of patients had thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine therapy for skeletal metastases. All patients were on oral suppressive levothyroxine tablets. Exter...

Postoperative hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction and long-term hormone replacement in patients with childhood-onset craniopharyngioma
ConclusionThis study is a large-sample systematic postoperative endocrine function evaluation of patients with childhood-onset CP. Due to the high prevalence of post-operative hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, patients with CP usually require long-term multiple hormone substitution therapy. Individualized management and accurate hormone replacement dosage for postoperative childhood-onset CP patients are of great importance. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)

27-Year-Old Woman With Hypoxemia
A 27-year-old woman presented to the clinic for home pulse oximetry readings persistently below 90% with associated dyspnea for several months. She denied additional complaints. Her medical history was notable for bipolar disorder, type I diabetes, hypertension, obesity, hypothyroidism, gastroesophageal reflux disease, prior cholecystectomy, and episodic jaundice. Medications on presentation were lamotrigine, insulin, hydrochlorothiazide, levothyroxine, and omeprazole.
