The reduced predictive value of interleukin 28b gene polymorphisms in a cohort of patients with thyroiditis developed during antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C: a preliminary study.
TL;DR: TD in this clinical context may be a critical factor in the achievement of SVR, probably above that of the genetic predisposition, and the presence of one or more unfavorable IL28B genotypes does not portend a poor SVR prognostic outcome.

Endoscopic Treatment of Upper Gastrointestinal Obstruction After Ingestion of Illicit Drug Packets.
TL;DR: Endoscopy previously has been regarded as a somewhat controversial intervention owing to the potential risk of package rupture and subsequent toxicity.

Thyroid disease is a favorable prognostic factor in achieving sustained virologic response in chronic hepatitis C undergoing combination therapy: A nested case control study.
TL;DR: Development of TD during treatment for hepatitis C infection is associated with a significantly increased chance of achieving SVR, and the pathophysiogical mechanisms for this observation remain to be determined.
