Most children with Graves' disease treated with ATD do not experience remission, but most remissions do not end in relapse. Adverse reactions to methimazole are common but generally mild.
After a brief workshop to train physicians to counsel on obesity-related behaviours, residents improved their counselling skills and felt more confident on counselling patients. Future studies are needed to assess whether these gains are sustained over time.
Residents welcomed the opportunity to participate in an interactive workshop focused on obesity counseling and behavior change, and particularly liked putting new skills into practice with role-playing and receiving real-time feedback. Future analyses will determine the workshop's effect on knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy.
The contrasting values on the intact PTH assay and the turbo PTH assay suggest that the adenoma was producing an aberrant PTH molecule that was not detected by the routine intact PTH assay. Because there was no change in PTH gene sequence, this could be indicative of a posttranslational change in the PTH molecule that would not be recognized solely by DNA sequencing. Therefore, a low or normal PTH measurement against the backdrop of clinical and biochemical hyperparathyroidism needs measurement with a variety of assays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
