Assessment of pituitary gonadotropin release to gonadotropin releasing hormone/thyroid‐stimulating hormone stimulation in women with systemic sclerosis
G. La Montagna,A. Baruffo,Daniela Pasquali,Antonio Bellastella,G. Tirri,Antonio Agostino Sinisi +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that subclinical primary hypogonadism can occur in SSc patients and confirm an alteration in the mechanism for prolactin secretion and release, which may not only contribute to further disturbance of the reproductive axis but may also have an influence on the disease.

Euthyroid sick syndrome and inhibitory effect of sera on the activity of thyroid 5'-deiodinase in systemic sclerosis.
I Molnár,László Czirják +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that euthyroid sick syndrome is often present in patients with systemic sclerosis is supported by the low FT3 or FT3/FT4 ratio observed, which may directly influence the already impaired microcirculation in SSc by increasing the systemic vascular resistance.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is associated with peripheral lymphocyte activation in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Bartolomeo Farzati,Gherardo Mazziotti,Giovanna Cuomo,Ressa M,Francesca Sorvillo,Giovanni Amato,La Montagna G,Carlo Carella,Gabriele Valentini +8 more
TL;DR: This study shows that type-1 activation in the peripheral blood of SSc patients with coexistent HT mainly affects SSc Patients with co existed HT.

Anti-Scl-70 antibodies in autoimmune hypothyroidism.
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of anti-Scl-70 antibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis was investigated in autoimmune hypothyroidism, and the index values for antiScl 70 levels were significantly higher in patients suffering from thyroid disease compared with healthy age-matched controls.

TL;DR: Thyroid gland fibrosis and hypothyroidism, possibly of autoimmune pathogenesis, are frequent and often unsuspected findings in progressive systemic sclerosis.

Prospective evaluation of thyroid function in patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma).
TL;DR: There were no differences between the 3 patient groups with regard to the extent of scleroderma, the presence of internal organ involvement, or the frequency of common signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Thyroid dysfunction in a prospectively followed series of patients with progressive systemic sclerosis
TL;DR: Findings indicate an increased frequency of, sometimes previously unsuspected, clinical and subclinical hypothyroidism in stable PSS patients which appears to be autoimmune in nature and becomes more prevalent with increased PSS duration.

Different antibody patterns and different prognoses in patients with scleroderma with various extent of skin sclerosis.
TL;DR: The cumulative survival rate as well as disease duration were found to be significantly longer in the first 2 groups designated "limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis," than in the 5th and 6th groups, i.e., patients in whom the trunk also was involved: "diffuse cutaneous systems sclerosis."
