About this Activity
Welcome to What’s New in Thyroid Medicine – A Review of Current Research, a focused series exploring the latest developments in thyroid health and disease.
This series highlights key shifts in clinical practice arising from the latest American Thyroid Association guidelines, from redefining thyroid function in older adults and updated pregnancy recommendations to the emerging roles of cholesterol and smoking in thyroid eye disease.
We also examine long-term risks faced by thyroid cancer survivors and the potential underdiagnosis of central hypothyroidism in children following traumatic brain injury.
