TL;DR: Two patients with moderate to severe Graves ophthalmopathy who developed dysthyroid optic neuropathy following levothyroxine (LT4) withdrawal in preparation for withdrawal are reported on.

TL;DR: Patients with Thy 3 cytology have better outcomes of thyroid cancer compared with patients with Thy 4 or Thy 5 cytology, and indeterminate cytology is commonly associated with the less aggressive FV-PTC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scilla Del Ghianda,Eleonora Loconte,Maria Ruggiero,Elena Benelli,Paolo Giovanni Artini,Vito Cela,Tommaso Simoncini,Francesco Latrofa,Paolo Vitti,Massimo Tonacchera +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first case of a woman with an unknown subclinical autoimmune hypothyroidism who developed overt and transient hypothy thyroidism as a consequence of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for infertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappearance of Anti-Thyroid Autoantibodies following Thymectomy in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis.
Giovanna Rotondo Dottore,Marenza Leo,Roberta Ricciardi,Michelangelo Maestri,Ilaria Bucci,Marco Lucchi,Franca Melfi,Melania Guida,Anna De Rosa,Loredana Petrucci,Ilaria Ionni,Giulia Lanzolla,Francesca Nicolì,Michele Mantuano,Debora Ricci,Francesco Latrofa,Stefano Mariotti,Claudio Marcocci,Michele Marinò +18 more
TL;DR: A role of the thymus in the maintenance of humoral thyroid autoimmunity is suggested in patients with Myasthenia gravis, which can coexist with autoimmune thyroid diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular retention of thyroglobulin in the absence of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-associated protein (RAP) is likely due to premature binding to megalin in the biosynthetic pathway
Simonetta Lisi,R. Botta,G. Rotondo Dottore,Marenza Leo,Francesco Latrofa,Paolo Vitti,Michele Marinò +6 more
TL;DR: The intracellular retention of Tg in the absence of RAP is likely due to its premature interaction with megalin, whereas RAP does not seem to affect Tg secretion directly.
