Aim: Most research teams analyze the evolution of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) on syndromic basis (e.g., the thyroid function), not on pathogenic basis (the autoantibodies). Thus, most researchers refer to thyroid hormone evolution. In this study we re-analyzed (first in 2018) how evolve the antithyroid autoantibodies. Therefore, we analyzed the antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO) evolutive patterns in patients with HT.Method: 1. ATPO level...

Introduction: Trabecular bone score (TBS) was introduced in FRAX, to evaluate more precisely the risk for fracture. However, FRAX is a method for editing a risk, not for making a diagnosis. WHO established conventionally, based on the level of standard deviation (SD), named T score, for Bone Mineral Density (BMD) that <−2,5 SD is compatible with the diagnosis of osteoporosis.Aim: Our aim was to analyze if it is possible to used T score (SD) for...
