To test the contribution of central actions of TH to heart rate directly, we administered T3 intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) to wild-type and TRα1 + m mice monitored with radiotelemetry. We observed no significant change in heart rate 6 h after T3 administration in either genoty...
Now a peek atprenatal testingfrom one of the country's largest medical labs suggests that nearly a quarter ofpregnant womenare getting the simple thyroidblood testregardless of whether they have symptoms.

Using multiple logistic regression, we investigated associations between PBDE serum ...
·95.38 The gene expression classifier had the highest sensitivity and NPV, the genetic test (BRAF mutation, RAS mutation, RET-PTC, and PAX8-PPARγ) had the highest specificity and PPV, and the galectin 3 immunocytochemistry test had inter mediate sensitivity, specificity, NPV, and PPV compared...
The greater the area under the ROC curve, the better the test, with an equivocal test having an area of 0.50. The ROC analysis found the area under the curve for the symptom score cutoffs of Table 8 to be 0.64. Thus, our symptom scores did not discriminate as well as those reported ...
