TL;DR: It is concluded that levothyroxine should remain the standard of care for treating hypothyroidism and no consistently strong evidence for the superiority of alternative preparations is found.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that near-total thyroidectomy is indicated in high-risk patients and radioactive iodine therapy is beneficial for stage II, III, and IV patients, and it is shown for the first time that superior outcomes are associated with aggressive thyroid hormone suppression therapy in high risk patients, but are achieved with modest suppression in stage II patients.

TL;DR: Investigation and treatment of patients with pituitary-dependent Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy over a 15-yr period and review of 136 previous reports suggest that surgery may achieve remission during pregnancy, but the prognosis for the fetus remains guarded.

TL;DR: Trends suggest that trimester-specific measurements of T(3), FT(4), Tg, and possibly TSH are warranted, and with two exceptions, analyte concentrations tended not to be correlated at each trimester and at 1-year postpartum.

TL;DR: A randomized, controlled trial is necessary and feasible to determine if radioiodine ablation of thyroid remnants is advantageous in patients with intrathyroidal micropapillary cancer.
