Sawan Vijay Rupani and Anupam Kotwal of a study on the use of age- and sex-specific thyroid function test ranges to more appropriately diagnose subclinical thyroid dysfunction. Moving to the topic of thyroid and pregnancy, Drs. Ricardo Villela and Ricardo Correa summarize a study examining the role of thyroid autoantibodies on thyroid function in women during preconception and gestation. Relatedly, Drs. Sofie Bliddal and Ulla Feldt-Rasmussen provide their perspective on a study reporting the challenges of antithyroid drug use in women with Graves’ disease during pregnancy. Our pediatric thyroidologist editorial board member, Dr. Gary Francis, wraps up this first group of papers with his summary on a study of macro-thyrotropin in the consideration of congenital hypothyroidism.Moving on to thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, Drs. George Taylor and Lindsay Kuo discuss a study assessing the accuracy of the Bethesda cytopathologic reporting system in indeterminate thyroid lesions. On the provocative topic of cancer prevention, Dr. Joanna Klubo-Gwiezdzinska reviews a study that tackles this question by studying a healthy lifestyle. Drs. David Toro-Tobon and Omar El Kawkgi then discuss a Korean population-based epidemiologic study on the risk of secondary malignancies associated with radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer. The topic of postoperative serum calcitonin levels as a predictor of medullary thyroid cancer behavior is discussed in a study reviewed by Dr. Christopher Rowe. For all patients with a diagnosis of thyroid cancer, the potential unexpected effects of initial treatment are important to consider. Dr. Jie Liu reviews a study that surveyed thyroid cancer patients to assess changes in quality-of-life measures associated with their treatment. Relatedly, Drs. Erivelto Volpi and Leonardo Rangel summarize a study reporting the risk of hypoparathyroidism and impacts on quality of life among thyroid cancer survivors. Finally, Drs. Eric Walser and Jesse Pasternak share their perspective on a study examining the role of same-day discharge with patients undergoing thyroid surgery.We remain active on our various social media channels, and I invite our readers to further engage with us there.
