Sadly, John Midgley, a pioneer in #thyroid diagnostics and co-author of multiple papers by our group, passed away. Read Rudolf Hoermann's obituary at The Guardian:

Our newest paper has been published. Based on machine learning with k-medoids #clustering we identified three different signatures of #thyroid #homeostasis that predict the prognosis of patients with #Takotsubo syndrome.

#Thyroid's secretory (#SPINA_GT) is higher in borderline personality disorder (#BPD) compared to controls. Is this a result of dynamical compensation or from sympathetic innervation of the thyroid gland? https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12216702

#Thyroid hormones profoundly affect the heart. This also applies to chronic stress and type 2 allostatic load, where they relay signals from the brain to the heart. Our newest study observed an elevated thyroid output in borderline personality disorder. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12216702

Does impaired transport of #thyroid hormones into the central nervous system contribute to #syndrome_T / #SORSHOT? A recent study observed CSF/serum FT4 ratio to be associated with #QoL in treated #hypothyroidism. https://doi.org/10.1111/jne.13272

The Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome is a rare #thyroid disease caused by #MCT8 mutation, leading to severe consequences. Many aspects of its metabolic signature are poorly understood. In our newest paper, we present a theory that may provide new insights. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36568087/
