The Various Faces of Hyperthyroidism	2020-06-05		.txt	text/plain	2063	109	37	It starts out with an important article by Hoermann and colleagues underscoring the biochemically heterogeneous expression of thyroid hormone activities in subclinical/overt hyperthyroidism and exogenous thyrotoxicosis (1) . In their study of 461 patients composed of untreated thyroid autonomy, Graves' disease, and levothyroxine TSH suppressive therapy after thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma, they demonstrate that deiodinase activity is markedly reduced in patients with exogenous thyrotoxicosis compared to patients with endogenous hyperthyroidism because of a lack of TSH stimulation, inhibition by levothyroxine, and the absence of a functioning thyroid gland. Cipolla and colleagues share their experience performing total thyroidectomy on 594 patients with Graves' disease between age 32 y and 56 y underscoring that it is a safe and effective treatment in experienced hands (15) . Zhou and colleagues underscore the important role of neural monitoring during thyroid surgery for Graves' disease in their retrospective series including 55 thyroidectomies and 82 procedures with intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and 72 procedures with continuous IONM (19) .	./cache/cord-259801-xuvcrvo2.txt	./txt/cord-259801-xuvcrvo2.txt
