Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma: role of TSH and of treatment with l-thyroxine
Emilio Fiore,Teresa Rago,Francesco Latrofa,Maria Annateresa Provenzale,Paolo Piaggi,Alessandro P Delitala,M Scutari,Fulvio Basolo,G. Di Coscio,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera,P Vitti +11 more
TL;DR: The frequency of PTC is significantly higher in nodular-HT than in NG and is associated with increased levels of serum TSH, and treatment with L-T4 reduces TSH levels and decreases the occurrence of clinically detectable PTC.

Alessandro Brancatella,Debora Ricci,Daniele Cappellani,Nicola Viola,Daniele Sgrò,Ferruccio Santini,Francesco Latrofa +6 more
TL;DR: Clinical, biochemical and imaging features of the 4 patients with SAT related to SARS-CoV-2 infection are described to alert physicians that SAT may be an underestimated manifestation of COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of Thyroid Function in Graves’ Patients Treated with Radioiodine: Role of Thyroid-Stimulating and Thyrotropin-Blocking Antibodies and of Radioiodine-Induced Thyroid Damage
Luca Chiovato,Emilio Fiore,Paolo Vitti,Roberto Rocchi,Teresa Rago,D Dokic,Francesco Latrofa,Claudia Mammoli,Francesco Lippi,C Ceccarelli,Aldo Pinchera +10 more
TL;DR: The early outcome of thyroid function after 131I for GD is mainly related to pretreatment thyroid volume and to the degree of its reduction after therapy; high TSAb levels before 131I are associated with a relative resistance to therapy; a postradioiodine increase in TSAb Levels is related to the development of hypothyroidism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of genetic and non-genetic factors in the etiology of Graves’ disease
TL;DR: The respective role of genetic and non-genetic factors in the etiology of Graves’ disease are reviewed, taking advantage of the great bulk of data generated especially over the past 30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous improvement of untreated mild Graves' ophthalmopathy: Rundle's curve revisited
Francesca Menconi,Maria Antonietta Profilo,Marenza Leo,Eleonora Sisti,Maria Antonietta Altea,Roberto Rocchi,Francesco Latrofa,Marco Nardi,Paolo Vitti,Claudio Marcocci,Michele Marinò +10 more
TL;DR: In confirmation of Rundle's observations, untreated GO improves spontaneously with time in the majority of patients, with an activity peak between 13 and 24 months, which may have implications in determining the proper timing of GO treatments.
