The majority of Danish nontoxic goitre patients are ineligible for Levothyroxine suppressive therapySøren Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, Odense C, Denmark
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 69:653-8. 2008..Our aim was to determine, in consecutive nontoxic goitre patients, the proportion ineligible for LT4-therapy. Exclusion criteria were set up in agreement with recent guidelines...
Time to reconsider nonsurgical therapy of benign non-toxic multinodular goitre: focus on recombinant human TSH augmented radioiodine therapySøren Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, DK 5000 Odense C, Denmark
Eur J Endocrinol 160:517-28. 2009..Thus, although in its infancy, and still experimental, rhTSH-augmented (131)I therapy may profoundly alter the non-surgical treatment of benign non-toxic MNG...
Optimizing 131I uptake after rhTSH stimulation in patients with nontoxic multinodular goiter: evidence from a prospective, randomized, double-blind studySøren Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark
J Nucl Med 50:732-7. 2009..The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal time interval between rhTSH and (131)I administration to enhance thyroid radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU)...
Dose-dependent acute effects of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) on thyroid size and function: comparison of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.9 mg of rhTSHSøren Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 72:411-6. 2010..Reports of acute thyroid swelling and hyperthyroidism warrant safety studies evaluating whether these side-effects are dose dependent...
Recombinant human thyrotropin-stimulated radioiodine therapy of nodular goiter allows major reduction of the radiation burden with retained efficacySøren Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, DK 5000 Odense C, Denmark
J Clin Endocrinol Metab 95:3719-25. 2010..Observations indicate that rhTSH has a preconditioning effect beyond increasing thyroid (131)I uptake. We test the hypothesis that an equivalent GVR might be obtained by an absorbed thyroid dose well below what has been used previously...
Radioiodine therapy of benign non-toxic goitre. Potential role of recombinant human TSHS Fast
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Odense University Hospital, Denmark
Ann Endocrinol (Paris) 72:129-35. 2011..1mg rh-TSH or less is well tolerated. Based on these results we conclude that rh-TSH augmented ¹³¹I therapy is a promising new therapeutic principle allowing the tailoring of an optimal ¹³¹I therapy on the individual level...
[Icatibant is a new treatment option in life-threatening angioedema triggered by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor]Søren Fast
Øre næse hals Afdeling F, Odense Universitetshospital, 5000 Odense C, Denmark
Ugeskr Laeger 173:2574-5. 2011..Randomised, controlled trials are warranted to document the efficacy of icatibant in ACE-i angioedema...
Non-surgical approach to the benign nodular goiter: new opportunities by recombinant human TSH-stimulated 131I-therapySteen Joop Bonnema
Department of Endocrinology, Odense University Hospital, 5000, Odense C, Denmark
Endocrine 40:344-53. 2011..A major hindrance of widespread and routine use of rhTSH-stimulated (131)I-therapy is its present status as an off-label treatment...
