Journal ArticleDOI

Relation between therapy for hyperthyroidism and the course of Graves' ophthalmopathy.

TL;DR: Radioiodine therapy for Graves' hyperthyroidism is followed by the appearance or worsening of ophthalmopathy more often than is therapy with methimazole, and this can be prevented by the administration of prednisone.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of amiodarone on the thyroid.

TL;DR: The pathogenesis of iodine-induced AIH is related to a failure to escape from the acute Wolff-Chaikoff effect due to defects in thyroid hormonogenesis, and, in patients with positive thyroid autoantibody tests, to concomitant Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spectrum of thyroid disorders in an iodine-deficient community: the Pescopagano survey.

TL;DR: In the present survey of an iodine-deficient community, a progressive increase with age of goiter prevalence, thyroid nodularity, and functional autonomy was observed, twice as high as that reported in iodine-sufficient areas, mainly due to an increased frequency of toxic nodular goiter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental iodine intake and thyroid dysfunction during chronic amiodarone therapy

TL;DR: In patients receiving chronic amiodarone therapy, clinically suspected hyperthyroidism is best confirmed by showing elevations in serum T3 or free T3 concentrations; hypothyroidistan is best diagnosed by showing an elevated serum thyrotrophin concentration.
