in women of reproductive age, thyroid disorders can be caused by a complex interaction between thyroid hormones and the hypothalamic-pituitary gland. This causes abnormal thyroid function, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, which can delay puberty, increase early pregnancy loss, and cause recurrent abortions. Objective: To determine the...
Pharyngitis is an inflammation or irritation of the pharynx or palatine tonsil. The etiology is usually viruses which cause the majority of the pharyngitis but most bacterial cases are attributed to group A Streptococci (GAS). This study aimed to identify the frequency of bacterial pharyngitis especially GAS of children, according to epidemiologica...
Thyroid dysfunctions have changed clinical, biochemical, and immunologic criteria. Thyroid function tests were recommended in population with a high risk including lipid disorders, Goiter, other autoimmune disorders, infertility and women after menopause, so the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its cor...
Diabetes Mellitus has become an important global healthcare problem, associated with serious multi-pathological factors. Vitamin D deficiency as associated to obesity, promotesthe development of Type 2 diabetes. There are multi-factors linking to vitamin Deficiency, including cutaneous dysfunction and aging. This study was aimed to evaluate the vit...

Abstract. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its correlation
with serum hyperlipidemia among the adult population of Murzok City, Libya. Blood samples were collected
randomly from 356 subjects (179 male and 177 female) in the age range of 20-to-65 years. The blood was
3 4 4 analyzed for the levels of TT , TT , FT , and TSH by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA).
Lipid levels of total cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TAG), LDL, and HDL were measured using the enzymatic
colorimetric method.
The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction types was the following: overt hyperthyroidism (0.84%), subclinical
hyperthyroidism (0.84%), overt hypothyroidism (1.12%), and subclinical hypothyroidism (6.18%). Also,
thyroid dysfunction was more common in females (0.56%, 0.84%, 0.84%, and 4.21%) than in males (0.28%,
0.00%, 0.28%, and 1.97%).We found a higher prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (27%) among the
subjects with hypercholesterolemia. We also found a significant negative correlation between subjects with
3 normal T and hypercholesterolemia (P<0.05), and a significant positive correlation between subjects with
4 high T and HDL (P<0.05).
