2014 European Thyroid Association Guidelines for the Management of Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy and in Children

TL;DR: This guideline has been produced as the official statement of the European Thyroid Association guideline committee and indicates that targeted antenatal screening for thyroid function will miss a substantial percentage of women with thyroid dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of nutrition in children's neurocognitive development, from pregnancy through childhood

TL;DR: This review examines the current evidence for a possible connection between nutritional intake (including micronutrients and whole diet) and neurocognitive development in childhood and concludes that malnutrition can impair cognitive development, whilst breastfeeding appears to be beneficial for cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk Factors for Childhood Stunting in 137 Developing Countries: A Comparative Risk Assessment Analysis at Global, Regional, and Country Levels.

TL;DR: FGR and unimproved sanitation are the leading risk factors for stunting in developing countries and reducing the burden of stunting requires a paradigm shift from interventions focusing solely on children and infants to those that reach mothers and families and improve their living environment and nutrition.

Insulin-like growth factor-I and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 levels of children living in an iodine- and selenium-deficient endemic goiter area

TL;DR: Results suggest that IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels are affected by thyroid dysfunction as a result of iodine and selenium deficiency, but these levels are not associated with goiter.
Journal Article

A study of spectrum of iodine deficiency disorders in rural area of Uttar Pradesh.

TL;DR: Attempts have been made to study the spectrum of the iodine deficiency disorders in a sub Himalayan hyperendemic area to enhance the conditions like abortion, still birth, higher infant mortality, neonatal chemical hypothyroidism, congenital anomalies, retarded growth, hypothy thyroidism, endemic goitre and endemic cretinism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triiodothyronine regulates insulin-like growth factor-I binding to cultured rat pituitary cells.

TL;DR: The data indicate that T3 upregulates IGF‐I binding in GH3 cells without altering insulin binding and thereby provides a means for enhancing potential autocrine regulation in this cell line.
Journal Article

Serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-binding protein-3 levels in severe iodine deficiency.

TL;DR: It is suggested that iodine deficiency has a negative impact on growth, as well as IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels, which seems to be due to the derangements in thyroid hormone economy arising from iodine depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of thyroid replacement therapy on the stature of Colombian children with minimal thyroid dysfunction.

TL;DR: A significant (P <0.05) height recovery was observed when children received TRT; however, during the period without TRT they showed a negative height recovery.
