OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and symptoms in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. METHOD: Ninety-four outpatients at least two elevated serum thyrotrophin levels (> 4 µU/ml) normal FT4, 43 euthyroid outpatients, both groups from HUCFF-UFRJ, were evaluated. Psychiatric diagnosis was based on Structured Clinical Interview Diagnostic for DSM-IV axis I (SCID-I/DSM-IV), psychopathological Hamilton anxiety depression scales, Beck Inventory. RESULTS: Our...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT) treatment on health-related quality life (QoL), psychiatric symptoms, clinical score, and muscle function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized double-blind study, patients were assigned either to (n = 35) or placebo 36). Clinical symptoms assessed by Zulewski, Hamilton Beck scales. QoL was SF-36 questionnaire. Assessments quadriceps (QS) inspiratory (IS) strength performed a chair dynamometer manuvacuometer....
Subclinical thyrotoxicosis (scTox) may be associated with alterations in body composition and fatigue that can possibly reversed physical activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether systematic practice activity improves lower extremity muscle mass perception patients scTox.We studied 36 (2 men) median age 48.0 (43.0-51.0) years, index 27.4 (22.1-30.2) kg/m(2), thyrotropin <0.4 mU/L, free thyroxine between 0.8 1.9 ng/dL 48 control subjects (C group; 7 men). Patients were...
Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are the main causes of dysfunction and most common autoimmune in world. An association between AITD infections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), combination effects highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART), has been suggested by several research groups. The aim present study was to evaluate frequency women > 35 years age infected HIV, identify factors associated emergence these abnormalities. HIV-infected (n = 153) selected from infectious...
American Thyroid Association (ATA)'s new guidelines recommend use of population-based trimester-specific reference range (RR) for thyrotropin (TSH) in pregnancy. The aim this study was to determine first trimester TSH RR a population pregnant women Rio de Janeiro State.Two hundred and seventy without thyroid illness, defined by National Academy Clinical Biochemistry, normal iodine status were included sectional study. This group (RG) had median urinary concentration (UIC = 219 μg/L) negative...
To assess iodine status and its effects on maternal thyroid function throughout pregnancy.In the present prospective cohort study, three urinary samples were requested for concentration (UIC) determinations in both first third gestational trimesters. Serum thyrotropin (TSH) free thyroxine (FT4) analysed trimesters antibodies assessed once.Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.ParticipantsFirst-trimester pregnant women (n 243), of whom 100 re-evaluated during trimester.Iodine sufficiency was found studied...
Pregnancy places a metabolic overload on the maternal thyroid, especially in first trimester, mainly because of demand imposed by conceptus. The fetal thyroid becomes functionally mature only around pregnancy week 20. Until then, fetus depends transfer hormones (THs).

Abstract Background Conditions related to iodine status (IS) in pregnancy should be addressed help public health strategies. In the present study, we evaluated diet quality (DQ) and its relationship with IS pregnant women from a coastal Brazilian state where table salt is fortified. Methods cross-sectional 199 were on three different days of their first trimester pregnancy. every visit, urinary spot sample was requested assess concentration (UIC); 24-hour dietary recall time that they...
