TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AWT values increase with increasing serum TSH concentrations, indicating that a hypothyroid state may be indicative for aortic atherosclerosis, and these results fit very well to the findings of previous studies pointing towards increased atherosclerotic risk in the hypothy thyroid state.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relation between iodine-creatinine ratio (ICR) at two measuring points 5 years apart detected only a weak correlation with respect to low ICR, and studies assessing iodine status in a population should take into account that an individual with a low UI excretion in one measurement is not necessarily permanently iodine deficient.

TL;DR: The present study did not indicate any association between sex hormone concentrations and whole blood gene expression profiles in men and women from the general population.

TL;DR: The results corroborate the important role of shame as an impediment to help-seeking for mental health problems in the general population and show shame being a full mediator of a negative association between social distance and willingness.

TL;DR: A QoL-AGHDA cut-off value for prediction of improvement was investigated for the German population, which may facilitate clinical assessment of HRQoL response to GH replacement for patients with GHD.
