Original Source: Cutting Edge: The Etiology of Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases.
Significant progress has been made in our understanding of the mechanisms leading to autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). For the first time, we are beginning to unravel these mechanisms at the molecular level. AITD, including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), are common autoimmune diseases affecting the thyroid. They have a complex etiology that involves genetic and environmental influences. Seven genes have been shown to contribute to the etiology of AITD. The first AITD gene discovere...

Full Thyroid Removal May be Best in Graves' Disease (CME/CE)
(MedPage Today) -- Removing the whole thyroid lessens the chance of hyperthyroidism recurrence in Graves' disease compared with partial thyroidectomy, but it also leads to increased temporary hypopara...
Dr. Roach: In Graves' disease, thyroid gland is overstimulated
Dear Dr. Roach: I am writing with concern about my 50-year-old daughter, who, to me, shows signs of Graves' disease. She is taking thyroid medication, but I don't know if she is following up with her...
F1000Research articles will be listed in PubMed, and deposited in PubMed Central
(Faculty of 1000: Biology and Medicine) F1000Research, the first Open Science publisher, announces that articles published in its innovative publishing system will be listed in PubMed, the world's lar...
Subtotal Thyroidectomy Cost-Effective for Graves Disease
A new analysis found that subtotal thyroidectomy can be cost-effective for Graves disease if the postsurgery euthyroidism rate is above 49.5% and recurrent laryngeal nerve damage is below 2.4%. Med...
New evidence shows PubMed Central undermines journal usage
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) PubMed Central may draw readership away from biomedical journal sites, with this effect increasing over time. This finding -- that PubMed Ce...
Alzheimer's Disease Mechanism In Zebrafish Improves Understanding Of The Etiology Of The Disease
Research has shown that mutations in the psen1 gene are common in the familial forms of Alzheimer's disease, and the Presenilin-1 protein that the gene encodes is known to be involved in the cleavage...
Radiotherapy may help in Graves' orbitopathy
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Orbital radiotherapy appears to be a safe second-line treatment in moderate-to-severe Graves' orbitopathy, but may be less effective than high-dose glucocorticoids, acc...

The influence of epstein-barr virus reactivation in patients with graves' disease.
Abstract In Graves' disease, the IgG class autoantibody against thyrotropin receptor (TRAb) is produced excessively and induces hyperthyroidism. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the human herpesviru...
PURPOSE: Postoperative hypocalcaemia has been reported to be more common after total thyroidectomy (TT) for Graves' disease than after TT for benign atoxic multinodular goitre (MNG). The reasons for t...
Graves' Disease and Thymic Hyperplasia: The Relationship of Thymic Volume to Thyroid Function.
Background: Thymic hyperplasia is associated with Graves' disease, particularly in young patients. The degree of thymic transformation is minimal in most but not all patients. In the latter group radi...
Background:No consensus exists on optimal treatment for Graves' disease once anti-thyroid medication fails to induce remission. Total thyroidectomy is a more cost-effective treatment than radioactive...
We report a case of type 1 diabetes onset and recurrence of Graves' disease during pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)-alpha plus ribavirin treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The patient was a 55-year-old...
