Psychological changes during @entity1378 are well known. However, no studies were performed in order to quantify or evaluate them in numerical details. We have studied the personality of 15 @entity1 with @entity2743 by means of the 16PF Cattell Test, before and after treatment of @entity1378 with surgery or radioactive @entity1496 . The first test was performed when @entity1 relapsed the @entity2743 after a period of euthyroidism, achieved through the treatment with antithyroid drugs during one year. At the time of the second test all @entity1 had 6-12 months of euthyroidism. Hormonal circulating levels were as follow (mean +/- SEM): a) at the first test, T3 = 320 +/- 27 ng/dl, T4 = 19.7 +/- 1.2 micrograms/dl, TSH < 0.2 microU/ml; b) at the second test, T3 = 128 +/- 9 ng/dl, T4 = 8.8 +/- 0.8 micrograms/dl, TSH = 1.9 +/- 0.4 microU/ml. Differences between both tests were expressed for each factor as the mean difference +/- @entity24868 (paired "t" test). After treatment @entity1 were: 1) more relaxed and emotionally trustful and cooperative (factor A + 1.06 +/- 0.39, p < 0.02); 2) better and faster intellectual comprehension (factor B + 0.80 +/- 0.31, p < 0.05); 3) more capable of analysis (factor Q1 + 0.93 +/- 0.41, p < 0.05); 4) lower in lingering @entity148 and @entity2701 (factor Q4-0.87 +/- 0.36, p < 0.05); 5) more independent, less submissive (factor QIV + 0.88 +/- 0.41, p < 0.05); 6) more relaxed (factor QI-0.69 +/- 0.20, p < 0.01). The other factors remained unchanged.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
