This study investigated the association between urinary iodine concentration and cognitive function in older adults using NHANES 2011–2014 data. Our study found that iodine deficiency (UIC < 100 μg/L) was associated with a significantly reduced risk of cognitive decline compared to the adequate iodine intake group (UIC 100–199 μg/L) (adjusted OR = 0.54,

T3 loss in congenital hypothyroidism (CH) downregulates TRPC6 in dentate granule cells (DGCs), which reduces dendritic spine density via the CaMKIV/CREB signaling pathway. TRPC6 agonist hyperforin rescues DGCs' dendritic spines and cognitive function of CH pups.

PEGASUS: Prediction of MD‐derived protein flexibility from sequence
Abstract Protein flexibility is essential to its biological function. However, experimental methods for its assessment, such as X‐ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, are often limited by experimental variability and high cost, leading to a gap between the number of identified protein sequences and the available experimental

Clinical picture of endemic cretinism in central Apennines (Montefeltro).
Endemic cretinism is still present in an endemic goiter area of the central Apennines (Montefeltro) (goiter prevalence 55%; mean urinary iodine level 39 micrograms/g creatinine). Clinical and biochemical features of patients with myxedematous, neurologic,

Reversibility of severe hypothyroidism with supplementary iodine in patients with endemic cretinism.
The reversibility of thyroid dysfunction in children with endemic cretinism treated with supplemental iodine is unknown. To study this question we conducted a five-month follow-up of 51 patients with cretinism (age 14 and below), who were randomly ...
