“…Conclusion: In one of the first population-based studies of TSH and fT4 reference ranges in SSA, we demonstrate that, in those <70, the upper limit of TSH and ranges for fT4 in a rural South African population are lower than manufacturer-specified values, mimicking findings in African-American (AA) populations, though in contrast to AAs, the lower limit of TSH in our population was higher than the manufacturer value. …”

“…Rationale: In older obese subjects who failed numerous standard dietary attempts and have developed complications which preclude bariatric surgery, prolonged periods of long and repetitive intermittent fasting may lead to a) regular fasting diuresis, such that will lessen the need for diuretics; b) fat loss. Both may ameliorate intractable comorbidities. Goal: To examine whether or not complete intermittent fasting can positively impact fluid overload, functional status and life quality in old obese diabetic subjects with heart and renal failure. …”
