“…These results are not compatible with the aforementioned study results ( Figure 5 ). Our results demonstrated a significantly higher rate of hypothyroidism than did the results of Kutluturk et al [ 15 ]. This variation may be due to studying TMD among SOD patients and the role of thyroid hormone on the vestibular system, as mentioned above.…”

“…Hollowell et al reported 0.3% clinical and 4.3% subclinical hypothyroidism and 0.5% clinical and 0.7% subclinical hyperthyroidism in the USA [ 14 ]. A study conducted by Kutluturk et al [ 15 ] in northern Turkey demonstrated that the prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism was 4.3% (1.6% overt, 2.7% subclinical) and 5.5% (0.6% overt, 4.9% subclinical), respectively. In the present study, the rate of hypothyroidism was 8%, 2% of which was overt and 6% subclinical, and the rate of hyperthyroidism was 2%, which was entirely overt.…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate thyroid and parathyroid functions as a cause of sudden onset dizziness (SOD) in patients who were admitted to the Emergency Department (ED).Material/MethodsThis study was conducted prospectively in 100 patients with sudden onset dizziness (SOD) admitted to the ED. Neurologic, ear-nose-throat, detailed neck examinations, serum calcium levels, thyroid function tests (TFT), and parathormone and thyroid ultrasounds were performed on all patients in our study.ResultsThirty-seven (37%) females and 63 (63%) males were included in this study. Four patients (4%) had elevated serum TSH levels, 6 (6%) had decreased serum fT3 levels, 10 (10%) had decreased serum fT4 levels, 2 (2%) had elevated serum fT4 levels, and 2 (2%) had elevated serum parathormone levels. In 4 (4%) patients, the serum calcium levels were lower than normal, and 2 (50%) of these patients had symptomatic hypocalcemia. Thyroid ultrasound examinations showed multinodular goiter in 28 (28%) patients, 2 (2%) patients had thyroiditis, 12 (12%) had an isolated unilateral nodule, and 58 (58%) had normal thyroid tissues.ConclusionsWe suggest that detailed neck examination, TFT, and thyroid ultrasound examination should be considered in the diagnostic algorithms of SOD to provide rapid diagnosis and proper treatment for a patient in the ED.

Objectives: This study was performed to take an overview of the modes of presentation of these disorders, demographic factors of presenting patients, procedures to deal with these disorders and complications associated with them in our surgical ward. Study Design: Cross Sectional Study. Setting: Department of North Surgery, Mayo Hospital Lahore Pakistan. Period: September 2018 to September 2019. Material & Methods: All adult patients of either gender who presented with benign or malignant thyroid disorders and were managed surgically during the study period were included. The data was recorded on a pre-designed proforma maintained at the department. Results: Out of 156 patients, there were 146(93.6%) females and 10(6.4%) males. The most commonly performed procedure was total thyroidectomy i.e 102 (65.3%) while hemi thyroidectomies being 41 (26.1%). We performed 4 neck dissections in this time period for malignancies. The mean hospital stay ranged from 1-12 days with a mean of 2.88±1.99 days. There was no in-hospital mortality. Temporary hypocalcemia was the most common early complication found in 32(20.5%) patients. Conclusion: Thyroid surgery is a safe procedure to be performed for teaching purposes in a high volume unit like ours with complication rates reaching near zero.

“…19 Kutluturk et al have reported the incidence of total hyperthyroidism to be 5.4% in northern Turkey. 20 This wide variation in the rate of prevalence of hyperthyroidism in different countries could be due to the variation in geographical area, environmental and nutritional factors, most importantly, presence or absence of iodine in the diet. This is a hospital based study.…”

Thyroid disorders are one of the common endocrine disorders. Their prevalence is affected by many factors, especially environmental and nutritional ones. Objectives: To ascertain the seroprevalence of hyperthyroidism in clinically suspected hyperthyroid patients. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting: Frontier Medical & Dental College, Abbottabad. Period: January to August, 2015. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thyroid function tests (TSH, fT3 & fT4) were performed using enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) method. Results: There was preponderance of males in our study with male to female ratio of 1.4:1. Maximum patients (56.67 %) were between the ages of 21-40 years of age, with mean age of study population to be 32.09±13.01 years. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism was 15% based on the results of thyroid function tests. There were 11 males and 7 females with male to female ratio of 1.57:1 and mean age of hyperthyroid patients was 25.72± 8.27 years. The mean value of TSH, fT3 and fT4 was 0.038±0.025 mIU/L, 7.08±2.19 ng/mL and 25.25±6.30 µg/dL respectively in hyperthyroid patients as compared to 3.15±2.23 mIU/L, 2.05±0.88 ng/mL and 10.69±2.69 µg/dL in euthyroid subjects. Conclusion: Thyroid disorders are not very rare among general population. TFTs provide a reliable way of ascertaining the thyroid function. As this is a hospital based study, field studies should be conducted to ascertain the true prevalence of thyroid disorders in the community.
