COMPARISON OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA TYPES BETWEEN HYPERTHYROID PATIENTS WITH GRAVES' DISEASE AND TOXIC NODULAR GOITER.

PURPOSE: Previous studies have demonstrated the relationship between hyperthyroidism and increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. The most common causes of hyperthyroidism are Graves' disease (GD) and toxic nodular goiter (TNG). The aim of our study was to demonstrate if the underlying mechanism of hyperthyroidism, in other words autoimmunity, has an impact on the type of cardiac arrhythmias accompa...

Editor's Highlight: Identification of Any Structure-Specific Hepatotoxic Potential of Different Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids Using Random Forests and Artificial Neural Networks.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are characteristic metabolites of some plant families and form a powerful defense mechanism against herbivores. More than 600 different PAs are known. PAs are ester alkaloids composed of a necine base and a necic acid, which can be used to divide PAs in different structural subcategories. The main target organs for PA metabolism and toxicity are liver and lungs. Addit...
