[Cervical cryptothyroidism. Report of 2 cases].

Two cases of abnormality in the normal embrionary migration of the thyroid gland are reported with hyoid and sublingual location. Both cases where misdiagnosed and operated as thyroglossal cysts. The methods of treatment are reviewed and emphasis is placed on the convenience to make gammagraphic studies in patients with a mid-line cervical mass.

[Relationships between thyrotropin, growth hormone and insulin in hypothyroidism].

Since growth hormone has been found to be inhibited in many cases of untreated primary hypothyroidism, we tried to investigate whether the high thyrotropin levels or the lack of thyroid hormones is the responsible factor. Six primary hypothyrotic patients were kept euthyroid by means of high and constant doses of thyroid extract. Growth hormone immunoassays were performed before and after three days of thyrotropin stimulation. Immunoassayable insulin was also investigated under the same experimental conditions. Although a moderate inhibition of growth hormone after thyrotopin stimulation was observed, the magnitude of this inhibition was not as marked as it has bee described in untreated primary hypothyrotics. There was no difference in insulin production before and after thyrotropin administration.

[Intravenous and oral glucose: production of insulin and growth hormone in the newborn infant].

Insulin production in response to intravenous and high and low oral glucose administration was investigated in 15 healthy fasting newborns. Results show that in spite of the fact that the highest blood glucose was obtained by the intravenous load, the highest insulin levels corresponded to the high oral glucose. The lowest blood glucose levels were found in the cases who received the low oral doses. The amounts of circulating insulin in this group were not significantly different from those in the group with I.V. glucose. In two of the groups where growth hormone was measured, the known paradoxixal increase in response to administered glucose was observed.
