Abstract

Hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infancy, with a prevalence of 5 to 10 percent among one-year-olds. They are characterized by rapid growth in the first year of life, followed by involution and gradual regression by adolescence.1,2 We recently treated a three-month-old infant with massive hepatic hemangiomas and primary hypothyroidism who needed very high doses of thyroid hormone to restore euthyroidism and normal thyrotropin secretion. This finding suggested that the rate of degradation of thyroid hormone was accelerated. We subsequently identified high levels of type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase activity in the hemangioma tissue. This selenoenzyme, normally present in . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
