#iodine deficiency - a persistent issue in #Europe: a decline in the consumption of #dairy products and an increase in the popularity of plant-based alternatives to major sources of iodine (#milk, dairy, fish) may lead to insufficient iodine intake in the European region. #HaDEA

The webinar: "Improving Global Health Through Thyroid Awareness (Thyromobile)" is available on our YouTube channel: rb.gy/rubv77 The Thyromobile van screens for #iodine deficiency and works to enhance the #thyroid #healthcare system in vulnerable communities.

Autoimmune #thyroid diseases have a strong #genetic risk factor and several gene variants have been identified that may be associated with the development of these diseases. The LAG3 gene has the largest effect with a 3.4-fold increased risk of #autoimmune thyroid diseases.

A new study shows that women of childbearing age in Portugal have insufficient iodine intake. More public health measures are needed to achieve an adequate iodine status during pregnancy across Europe. #iodine #nutrition #preventioniskey #publichealth #HaDEA #EuropeanUnion

Time to ditch one-size-fits-all TSH ranges? New study shows up to 30% of subclinical thyroid diagnoses could be wrong! Your genes might be the real culprit, not your thyroid?

Despite a median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) above the cutoff for #iodine sufficiency in children in #Norway, more than a third of these children had a #suboptimal usual iodine intake. 💡The results suggest that #children may benefit from iodine #fortification. #HaDEA

A new inflammatory marker for the diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease: the Platelet-Count-to-Lymphocyte-Count Ratio may be higher in hypothyroid and euthyroid people with Hashimoto's disease. Higher PLR level may be an additional diagnostic tool in patients with Hashimoto's disease.

69% of patients with Hashimoto’s disease may experience local symptoms (symptoms of the #neck, #throat, #breathing, and #swallowing). 📌Writing down any new set of symptoms may help patients prepare for their consultation. #thyroid #autoimmune #hashimotosdisease #endocrinology

A study co-authored by Prof. Jayne Woodside, Queen's University of Belfast, found that only 20% of pregnant women are aware of the increased need for iodine during #pregnancy and breastfeeding. Iodine is essential for the health of women and that of their future offspring. #haDEA

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month. Differentiated thyroid #cancer: #papillary, #follicular, and Hurthle cell cancer account for most of all thyroid cancers. Medullary thyroid cancer: 1 to 2%, and #anaplastic thyroid cancer: less than 1% of all thyroid cancers.

Thyroid cancer is the 7th most common cancer in terms of incidence overall and 5th most common in women with over 821,000 cases worldwide in 2022. 📌The highest incidence rates in both sexes are found in Eastern Asia, Northern America, and China. #ThyroidCancerAwarenessMonth

Apart from focusing on the location of the tumour, cancer characterizations unique to each patient could give important information to doctors. This: 📌would be an important step towards precision oncology 📌would speed up access to effective treatments for millions of people.

The incidence of thyroid cancer increased in past 50 years due to more screening and factors not yet entirely known: nitrate fertilizers found in food, smoking. No major differences were found between incidental and non-incidental thyroid cancer in tumor size or clinical outcome.
