Analysis of the Immune Status in Latvian Chernobyl Clean-up Workers with Nononcological Thyroid Diseases
2001
The aim of the present work was to characterize the immune status of 385 individuals who participated in the 1986–90 clean-up work of the after effects of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion. Fifty-nine Chernobyl clean-up workers developed the most common thyroid diseases; euthyroid nodular and diffuse goiter; 47 healthy blood donors were taken as controls. The levels of immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG and IgM), the numbers of peripheral blood leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, T lymphocytes and their subpopulations (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), B lymphocytes (CD19+), natural killer (NK) cells (CD16+), classical and alternative pathway activity of complement (CH50, APH50), the C3 split product C3d…
Cardiac changes in subclinical and overt hyperthyroid women: retrospective study
2003
This retrospective and descriptive 4-year study was undertaken to describe cardiac changes in subclinical and overt hyperthyroidism.We revised the charts of 386 consecutive cardiopathic women whose blood samples were referred to the Radioimmunoassay Laboratory to evaluate thyroid function from 1 January 1997 through 31 December 2000.After excluding women because euthyroid or hypothyroid, or taking amiodarone and women with hypertension, rheumatic disease, myocardial infarction, a total of 31 hyperthyroid women were thus selected for the study: 19 with subclinical hyperthyroidism and 12 with overt hyperthyroidism. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation did not differ between subclinical (48%)…
966 The Nonthyroidal Illness Syndrome in Septic Children
2012
Backgroud The interpretation of thyroid function tests in the PICU patients can be difficult because thyroid hormone concentrations are affected by nonthyroidial stresses. Most patients fall into sick euthyroid syndrome or nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS). The TH therapy during critical illness remains controversial. Aim To evaluate the NTIS in septic children. Method The prospective study conducted on 65 patients admitted in PICU during 12 months period. Inclusion criteria: age > 1 month, admission for critical illness, treatment with corticosteroids, no (documented) history of thyroid pathology. The patients were divided into 2 groups: sepsis and non-sepsis group (dehydration, poisoni…
ORBITAL PSEUDOTUMOR CAN MIMIC GRAVES’ OPHTHALMOPATHY
2016
CONTEXT: Orbital pseudotumor (OP) is a benign inflammatory process of the orbit with a large polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate, associated with fibrosis in variable amounts, localized or diffuse. Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is the most common cause of proptosis, unilateral or bilateral. CASE REPORT: We report a patient with unilateral proptosis who was initially treated with antithyroid drugs for an euthyroid Graves disease, but the extension of the investigation infirmed this. The MRI findings (inflammation of fat, muscle and the left lacrimal gland) in conjunction with the biopsy infirmed the initial diagnostic and confirmed the OP. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital pseudotumor is a rare disorder that …
