    Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to 1) compare different methods for detection of antibodies against thyroglobulin (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb), particulary in children with chronic autoimmune thyroditis (AIT), 2) investigate if maternal enterovirus infection is a risk factor for development of AIT in offspring, 3) ascertain the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in cord blood sera from children who later developed AIT, 4) develop a new reference standard for interpretation of normative thyroid volumes in Swedish children, and 5) evaluate the effect of Levothyroxine (L-thyroxine) treatment on thyroid size in children and adolescents with AIT. We found that 1) Methods based on radioimmunoassay (RIA) were more efficient in detecting both TgAb and TPOAb in children with AIT than methods based on agglutination. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Iodine status and iodine pool an a small community in western Sweden

    Författare :Mille Milakovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :goitre; thyroid volume; ultrasonography; urinary iodine; TpoAb; TSH; iodine supplementation; radioiodine uptake; scintigraphy; XRF;

    Sammanfattning : Iodine is essential in the synthesis of the vital hormones of the thyroid gland. On a worldwide basis, iodine deficiency is the global most important cause of thyroid disease. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Clinical problems in thyroid surgery

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Total thyroidectomy; Graves´ disease; multinodular goitre; transient hypocalcaemia; permanent hypocalcaemia;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Thyroid surgery is the most common endocrine surgical operation and is considered by many to be at the zenith of endocrine surgery. A good hemostasis is mandatory during a thyroid operation and many new devices have been available during the last two decades. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery- rates, risks, prevention and consequences

    Författare :Matilda Annebäck; Olov Norlén; Peter Stålberg; Jakob Hedberg; Erik Nordenström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; thyroidectomy; hypoparathyroidism; hypocalcemia; parathyroid hormone; vitamin D; health-related quality of life; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Hypoparathyroidism is the most common complication after thyroid surgery and associated with short- and long-term consequences. The lack of a consensus on the definition of hypoparathyroidism has led to a broad range in the rates reported in the literature. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The endocrine system in the progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia

    Författare :Patrick Quinlan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thyroid hormones; Insulin-like growth factor-I; Alzheimer’s disease; Vascular dementia; Mild cognitive impairment;

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Endocrine alterations have been related to cognitive decline, but the role of hormones may vary along the progression to manifest dementia. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess whether thyroid hormones (THs) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are dysregulated around the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD).
