A Prospective Observational Study of Autoimmune Encephalitis in Northwestern India
CONCLUSION: Autoimmune encephalitis (AIE), a potentially treatable immune-responsive entity, is a common neurological problem and may be an answer to a large number of cases having unexplained encephalitis. Good clinical acumen and knowledge are required for early diagnosis and treatment of this potentially reversible disorder. How to cite this article: Sharma B, Paul M, Bagaria AK.

Changes in thyroid hormone concentrations over time in dogs with autoimmune thyroiditis
The objective of this study was to follow long-term changes in the concentration of thyroid hormones in dogs with subclinical thyroiditis.SAMPLES: Samples were obtained from 125 dogs with subclinical thyroiditis. The study population included 70 female and 55 male dogs. The mean testing interval was 3.9 years from initial testing (SD, 2.3 years; range, 1 to 9 years).METHODS: Dogs with subclinical thyroiditis were identified retrospectively using results from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals Canine Thyroid Profile performed by the Endocrinology Section of the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Owners ...

Experimental rat models for Hashimoto ’s thyroiditis
ConclusionTwo rat models of autoimmune thyroiditis were obtained. EAT caused in Wistar rats by immunization with rat Tg is similar to Hashimoto ’s thyroiditis. EAT induced with porcine Tg was accompanied by oxyphil cell metaplasia in the parathyroids and hypocalcemia. (Source: Journal of Endocrinological Investigation)

Polyethylene glycol thyroid-stimulating hormone (PEG-TSH) testing in the management of pediatric thyroid dysfunction
ConclusionOur findings support PEG-TSH testing for determining appropriate TSH levels and avoid unnecessary thyroid hormone treatment among children and adolescents. We propose the suitability of managing their clinical condition based upon age-appropriate clinical parameters and FT4 levels when their PEG-TSH levels are within the normal range.

The Underestimated Impact of Hashimoto Thyroiditis on Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma
In this study, our aim is to investigate the effect of the presence of HT on clinicopathological data in patients with PTC. All 356 patients whose pathology was reported as PTC who were operated between 2015 and 2023 were included in the study. PTC patients were divided into 2 groups as those with and without HT. The effect of HT association on clinicopathological features was investigated. In 356 PTC patients, the rate of HT was 31.2%. PTC patients with HT had less multifocality (p < 0.05), more lymph node metastases (LNM) (p < 0.01) compared to PTC patients without HT. The presence of HT did not affect th...

A Case of Thyroid Gland Abscess Caused by Brucella melitensis
Mikrobiyol Bul. 2024 Apr;58(2):217-223. doi: 10.5578/mb.20249810.ABSTRACTBrucellosis is a zoonotic disease endemic in many developing countries, including Türkiye. Among the species that are pathogenic for humans; Brucella melitensis is isolated from livestock animals like sheep and goats, Brucella abortus from cattle and Brucella suis from pigs. Laboratory diagnosis of infection caused by Brucella species with gram-negative coccobacillus morphology; can be made through characteristic culture features, serological tests and molecular methods. Brucellosis, which has a wide distribution of clinical signs and symptoms; can c...
