Here’s your Wednesday Weekly Roundup of Thyroid News from Thyroid Mom for June 11, 2014. These are articles, abstracts or blog posts that either appeared in the news this week or things that I found this week that I wanted to share with you. Happy Reading!

Thyroid & Kids
True Diagnostics Signs Commercialization Agreement with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (Why should you care about this? This sentence: “The partnership allows the companies to provide Medical Professionals with a new and meaningful point-of-care method for rapid screening hypothyroidism patients in minutes using only a small sample of whole-blood collected directly from the patient’s fingertip.” Looks like this is for screening and wouldn’t be used for dose titration BUT it’s a good sign and there’s continued hope (on my part) that we will eventually have finger pricks for kids instead of draws.)
New Way to Screen for Congenital Hypothyroidism (I will admit that I have no clue what this article is saying, but I am glad to read that newborn screening is being researched. Any improvements to that process hopefully means more newborns with CH being diagnosed sooner.)
