#Metformin is a useful antidiabetic substance, but also an endocrine disruptor. A recent study shows that it reduces the set point of #thyroid homeostasis, but this effect is mitigated by #vitamin_D deficiency.

Which programming language is fit for high-performance computer simulations in biomedical #cybernetics? We found that #Free_Pascal generates faster code than S/R and #Python. Interestingly, Object #Pascal even outperforms #Swift and C++.

Both sensorimotor and autonomic #neuropathy may be common in #hypothyroidism, despite treatment.
#Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of #diabetes mellitus. In our newest paper, we show that treatment of #hidradenitis_suppurativa (#acne_inversa) may cause remission of diabetes.

Sensorimotor #polyneuropathy may be common in treated autoimmune thyroiditis, but, unlike in other causes of #neuropathy (e. g. #diabetes), it has a unique pattern in quantitative sensory testing (#QST) with low thresholds for mechanical and thermal pain.
Should we, therefore, classify #syndrome_T as a psychosomatic disease? This would be premature and probably wrong. We found signs of sensorimotor and autonomic #neuropathy that depend on autoimmunity and #thyroid's secretory capacity (#SPINA_GT).
Our newest paper provides new insights into the conundrum of #syndrome_T / #sorshot. #Anxiety and #depression are significantly more common in autoimmune #thyroiditis compared to healthy controls.

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:

#SPINA_GT, #SPINA_GD and Jostel's TSH index (#JTI or #TSHI) are predictors of survival in patients with #Takotsubo syndrome (#stress #cardiomyopathy), as recently demonstrated in the international GEIST registry.

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.

Therefore, the non-increased and, in many cases, even reduced beta cell function in metabolic syndrome may not mirror an "either-or" question but be part of continuous evolution. It may be a source of prediabetes and diabetes but also prevent insulinoma.
The answer to this question may be in glucose toxicity leading to a biphasic response, thereby preventing neoplastic effects of dynamical compensation by mutant takeover.
