Does levothyroxine dose affect how often treatment falls out of range? A real-world study by @mettleson and team found patients taking higher doses were more likely to have abnormal TSH levels, suggesting they may benefit from closer follow-up.

Could a once-weekly subcutaneous levothyroxine injection replace daily pills? A Phase 2 study by @Bianco_Lab and @XerisPharma found it was well tolerated, achieved thyroid hormone targets, and was preferred by many participants.

Could an elevated TSH be misleading? A new @thyroidjournal study from Japan examines the prevalence and clinical features of macro-TSH, an uncommon cause of apparent subclinical hypothyroidism that can complicate diagnosis and management.

Can low-risk thyroid cancer survivors be safely followed in primary care? Check out this new @thyroidjournal prospective study to see who could potentially be followed with less intensive surveillance.

What predicts poor emotional functioning after thyroid cancer treatment? A @thyroidjournal study identified exhaustion, head and neck discomfort, and body image concerns as modifiable risk factors—potential targets for earlier supportive care.

Can AI eliminate the need for CT in thyroid SPECT? A prospective multicenter Korean trial found CT-free AI SPECT matched SPECT/CT for diagnosing thyrotoxicosis while reducing radiation by one-third and analysis time from 40 to 4 minutes.

Does liquid-based cytology outperform conventional smears for thyroid FNA? In a multi-institutional @thyroidjournal study from China of 90K biopsies, liquid-based preparations showed higher diagnostic accuracy; both together offered no added benefit.

Who is the ideal candidate for ambulatory thyroid surgery? Check out the new multidisciplinary @thyroidjournal ATA Consensus Statement which outlines patient selection,DC criteria, and safety protocols to optimize outcomes/minimize complications.

Have ATA guideline updates changed thyroid cancer care? In a real-world study from Korea in >31,000 patients, less extensive surgery and reduced RAI use lowered permanent hypocalcemia without compromising short-term oncologic outcomes.

Post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism is common but often preventable. A @ThyroidJournal review highlights risk reduction strategies, updated management guidelines, and emerging long-acting PTH therapies that may improve calcium control/QOL.

Fatigue after thyroidectomy may be more common/impactful than many clinicians realize. A new @UMich study found patients described persistent exhaustion affecting work, daily life, and relationships, with many feeling unprepared for it after surgery.

In metastatic radioiodine-avid DTC, does preparation method matter? A @ThyroidJournal study found similar survival and progression outcomes with rhTSH and thyroid hormone withdrawal, supporting individualized preparation based on patient needs/logistics.

Could excessive preop TSH make Graves’ thyroidectomy more difficult? A @ThyroidJournal study found TSH ≥10 μIU/mL before surgery was linked to greater blood loss, larger thyroid enlargement ratios, and longer operative times.
