Mashup Score: 1
Just over a century ago, much of the U.S. population experienced disfiguring and debilitating disorders related to iodine deficiency. In 2024, we celebrate 100 years of salt iodization — a tremendous public health achievement.Soils across much of the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest and throughout the Appalachians are poor in iodine, which resulted in iodine-deficient diets for humans

Mashup Score: 0Hearing loss with teprotumumab more likely for adults with baseline hearing dysfunction - 11 month(s) ago
Hearing loss occurred more frequently among adults who received teprotumumab for the treatment of thyroid eye disease if they had impaired hearing at the start of therapy, according to a research letter published in Thyroid. In a small prospective cohort study, one adult out of 32 (3%) with normal hearing at baseline developed hearing decline after a full, 24-week course of teprotumumab-trbw

ChatGPT correctly answered more than two-thirds of submitted questions about thyroid nodules, though its responses may be at a grade level too high for patient education, according to study findings published in Thyroid. “Whether the authors think that ChatGPT could be reliably used by patients or not, we find it inevitable that it will be,” Daniel J. Campbell, MD, an otolaryngologist

Mashup Score: 0Radiofrequency ablation eliminates tumor for most adults with low-risk thyroid cancer - 1 year(s) ago
More than 95% of adults with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer were disease-free after radiofrequency ablation, according to findings from a single-center study published in Thyroid. “Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation is effective for treating of small unifocal low-risk papillary thyroid cancer, with 96.1% technical efficacy by core-needle biopsy pathological examination and 91.6%

Mashup Score: 4Hemithyroidectomy linked to better quality of life for adults with low-risk thyroid cancer - 1 year(s) ago
Hemithyroidectomy is associated with better quality of life after surgery than total thyroidectomy for adults with low-risk differentiated thyroid cancer, though more studies are needed, according to findings from a systematic review. “The long-term data are mixed on how the extent of surgery affects health-related quality of life in patients with low-risk differentiated thyroid

Exposure to a class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals may increase the risk for developing thyroid cancer, according to a study published in eBioMedicine. In a nested case-control study, researchers analyzed exposure to PFAS among adults diagnosed with thyroid cancer and those without thyroid cancer. Adults had a higher likelihood for developing thyroid cancer with greater exposure to linear
