Article Abstract
Objective: Evaluate whether the increase of iodine in the diet would be the triggering factor for auto-immune thyropathies in the city of Santo André, SP.
Methods: Urinary iodine was determined in samples isolated from 58 patients, divided in 4 Groups, and in 13 normal individuals (controls).
Results: Urinary Iodine: Group 1--hyperthyroidism = 203.5+/-152.71 microg/ L(mean+/-sd); Group 2--hypothyroidism = 258.31+/-148,2 microg/L; Group 3--chronic auto-immune thyroiditis = 244.29+/-191.6 microg/L; Group 4--(Amiodarone) = 1157.5+/-261.8 microg/L; Group 5--Controls = 262.31+/-146.2 microg/L. On comparing the means of urinary iodine among the groups, the means for groups 1, 2, 3, and 5 did not present significant differences (p>0.05), and all differed from group 4 (p<0.05). Urinary iodine obtained in groups 1, 2, 3 and 5, obtained in 2002-03, is not different from the values determined in students in 1994 in Santo André.
Conclusion: This study shows evidence that iodine should not be considered as the responsible agent for auto-immune thyropathies in Santo André, and other environmental factors should be investigated.

Objective: This study aimed to reexplore minimum iodine excretion and to build a dietary iodine recommendation for Chinese adults using the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis.
Methods: Data from 171 Chinese adults (19-21 years old) were collected and analyzed based on three balance studies in Shenzhen, Yinchuan, and Changzhi. The single exponential equation was accordingly used to simulate the trajectory of 24 h urinary iodine excretion as the low iodine experimental diets offered (iodine intake: 11-26 μg/day) and to further deduce the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) for iodine, including estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI).

Introduction: Gestational age, ethnicity, assay method, thyroid autoimmunity and iodine status of the community affect thyroid hormone levels in pregnancy, and there is a need to establish trimester-specific reference ranges for thyroid hormones across different regions of the world. There was no previous study regarding this from this part of the country. The aim of this study was to establish trimester-specific reference range for thyroid hormones during pregnancy in a tertiary care centre in Southern Odisha.

UIC and cognitive function assessments of participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were selected for the 2011-2014 cycle. Cognitive function assessments included: (1) a word learning and recall module from the Coalition to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD); (2) an animal fluency test; and (3) the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST).
