Summary: The study found that most women on thyroid replacement before conception had TSH measured during pregnancy, but a portion did not. Overtreatment with levothyroxine in pregnancy was associated with preterm delivery, highlighting the need for clinicians to avoid overtreatment during pregnancy.

Summary: This article summarizes the changes and influencing factors of thyroid function in multiple pregnancies. Through systematic searching and screening, a total of 12 relevant studies were included. The results show that thyroid function in multiple pregnancies differs from that in single pregnancies, mainly in the early stages of pregnancy. Separate reference ranges are needed to accurately diagnose thyroid diseases in multiple pregnancies.

Summary: This research examines the exploitative learning process in the longest tunnel project on land in the Netherlands, finding that it is positively promoted between the owner and the contractor as well as internally within the contractor. The significant change brought about by this learning process is a shift in collaboration mindset and shaping of project culture.

Summary: The study investigated susceptibility loci for thyroid carcinoma in different ethnic groups, revealing shared and unique associations in individuals of European and Oceanian ancestry. Oceanians showed higher frequencies of risk alleles, suggesting a genetic predisposition. Further research is needed to fully comprehend the elevated incidence rates observed in these populations.

Summary: Approximate symmetry is a common concept in physics but has received little attention, compared to exact symmetries. In this paper, the author invites further consideration of approximate symmetry, proposing a minimal definition and applying it to three different topics. These topics include theory emeritus, the Curie-Post principle, and accidental symmetry.

Summary: Recently proposed concepts regarding the nature and assessment of the thyroid state have provided a more consistent model with empirical evidence. Instead of discrete thyroid states, peripheral organ parameters are continuously associated with thyroid function. Thyroid hormone levels, particularly free thyroxine, appear to be better indicators of the thyroid state than thyrotropin levels. However, there are various factors that complicate the assessment of the correlations between the thyroid state and pregnancy outcomes. The value of treating mild abnormalities and the need for improvements in thyroid hormone assays in pregnancy are uncertain. Further investigation may be better based on thyroid hormone levels.

Summary: Based on our study and literature review, we found that pregnancy does not increase the risk of disease progression in patients with thyroid cancer. Temporary increase in thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy can be observed, but they return to pre-pregnancy levels after delivery. Therefore, pregnancy should not be contraindicated in patients with distant metastases, but a comprehensive clinical evaluation should be conducted before conception.

Summary: Advances in scattering amplitudes have revealed the significance of color-kinematics and double-copy structures in various theories, providing a simplified approach for higher-order calculations. These findings have important implications for a unified framework of relativistic quantum theories.

Summary: As rapid urbanization becomes a key topic, it is necessary to consider the radical implications to urban environment, particularly in the Global South. This article discusses eight implications of urbanization-environmental conundrum, including pollution, water resource degradation, urban heat island effect, and more. The findings indicate that sustainable development agenda in Global South cities is skewed towards socio-economic development, neglecting environmental issues and posing a threat to the sustainability of rapidly urbanizing cities. The article proposes a rhizomatic understanding of environmental importance as a roadmap for sustainable and transformative urbanization in the Global South.

Summary: Thyroid function affects various aspects of the female HPG axis, and disruption of thyroid function is linked to reproductive dysfunction and gynecological conditions in women. The complex interplay between thyroid and reproductive hormones is further complicated by the association of certain autoimmune conditions with thyroid and HPG axis disorders. Minor disruptions in thyroid function during pregnancy and childbirth can have negative effects on maternal and fetal outcomes, and there are differing opinions on managing these conditions. This review provides a foundational understanding of thyroid hormone interactions with the female HPG axis and offers clinical insights on managing thyroid dysfunction in reproductive-aged women.
