Journal ArticleDOI
Serum TSH, T4, and Thyroid Antibodies in the United States Population (1988 to 1994): National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)
Joseph G. Hollowell,Norman W. Staehling,W. Dana Flanders,W. Harry Hannon,Elaine W. Gunter,Carole A. Spencer,Lewis E. Braverman +6 more
TL;DR: TSH and the prevalence of antithyroid antibodies are greater in females, increase with age, and are more in whites and Mexican Americans than in blacks, which needs more research to relate these findings to clinical status.
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
Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism: occurrence and epidemiology.
John Bruton Stanbury,A E Ermans,Pierre Bourdoux,Charles Todd,Emily Oken,René Tonglet,G Vidor,Lewis E. Braverman,G A Medeiros-Neto +8 more
TL;DR: More information is needed on the long-term health impact of IIH or "subclinical" IIH, especially in the course of prophylaxis programs with iodized salt or iodinated oil in regions where access to health care is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disappearance of humoral thyroid autoimmunity after complete removal of thyroid antigens.
Luca Chiovato,Francesco Latrofa,Lewis E. Braverman,Furio Pacini,Marco Capezzone,Lucio Masserini,Lucia Grasso,Aldo Pinchera +7 more
TL;DR: A large group of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma who had serum thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, or TSH-receptor antibodies due to coexistent thyroid autoimmune disease were studied, finding gradual disappearance of antibodies gradually disappeared in most patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free T4 immunoassays are flawed during pregnancy.
Richard H. Lee,Carole A. Spencer,Jorge H. Mestman,Erin A. Miller,Ivana Petrovic,Lewis E. Braverman,T. Murphy Goodwin +6 more
TL;DR: Neither FT4 immunoassay accurately reflects established free T4 changes during pregnancy, but TT4 and the FT4I retained an appropriate inverse relationship with TSH throughout pregnancy and appear to provide a more reliablefree T4 estimate.
