ABSTRACT Introduction Over 10 million thyroid function tests (TFTs) are carried out in England each year, most requests coming from primary care. Our previous work showed that only 25% of results for patients being treated with Levothyroxine fell within the TSH/FT4 boundary circumscribing 75% of untreated individuals.

Epilepsy in dentatorubral–pallidoluysian atrophy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Summary of key clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of DRPLA‐related epilepsy from a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 1,191 patients. DRPLA patients with epilepsy showed earlier disease onset, longer CAG repeat expansion, and a tendency toward paternal inheritance. EEG findings frequently included photoparoxysmal responses.

Neural differentiation of the human neuroblastoma cell line IMR32 induces production of a thyrotropin-releasing hormone-like peptide [PDF]
The human neuroblastoma cell line IMR32 produces and secretes substantial amounts of TRH-immunoreactivity (TRH-IR) as measured with radioimmunoassay (RIA) using the nonspecific antiserum 4319.
