| Abstract |
The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is characterized by elevated serum free thyroid hormones (FT4 and FT3) in the presence of unsuppressed TSH levels, reflecting resistance to the normal negative feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus and pituitary. The degree of resistance within peripheral tissues determines whether thyrotoxic clinical features are associated with this condition. Classic features include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, growth delay, tachycardia, and goiter. However, other features, such as frequent ear, nose and throat infections, hearing deficit, and decreased bone mass have recently been recognized. The phenotype of RTH is variable, with most patients presenting with mild to moderate symptoms. In this report we describe a girl with familiar RTH and diabetes mellitus. This is, to our knowledge, the first report regarding this association. Nearly one year after long-term triiodothyroacetic acid (Triac) therapy, we observed a reduction of thyroid hormone levels with an amelioration of insulin resistance. The possible interactions between these disorders are discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 December 2014.
All research outputs
#18,385,510
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Hormones international journal of endocrinology and metabolism
#252
of 363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#188,129
of 262,691 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hormones international journal of endocrinology and metabolism
#6
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 363 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,691 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
