Evaluation of thyroid gland dysfunction in patients with alopecia areate
Introduction: Alopecia areata is a common clinical problem involving 1% of population. It is associated with many autoimmune disorders. One of the most common associations is autoimmune thyroid disease. So it seems necessary to examine the patients with alopecia areata more exactly. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate thyroid gland dysfunction in patients with alopecia areata. Mate...
متن کاملPredictors of Thyroid Gland Invasion in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can invade the thyroid gland leading to unnecessary thyroidectomies with subsequent hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Thus, clinicopathological variables should be defined in order to predict thyroid gland invasion preoperatively. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1,465 patients with laryngeal SCC referr...
متن کاملEvaporation rate of water from the precorneal tear film and cornea in the rabbit.
A technique for the study of evaporation from the precorneal and cornea! surfaces has been developed. Evaporation from the superficial lipid layer (SLL) has been measured to be 10.1 x 10~ Gm.cm.^secr When this lipid layer is removed, evaporation increases around fourfold. Evaporation from the dry epithelial surface occurs at a rate of 1.8 x JO" Gm.cmr^secr After the epithelium is removed, a twe...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of tear stability with the tear stability analysis system in tear dysfunction patients.
PURPOSE To evaluate tear film stability in patients with tear dysfunction and an asymptomatic control group by using the novel, noninvasive Tear Stability Analysis System (TSAS). METHODS In this prospective case-control study, 45 patients with dysfunctional tear syndrome (DTS) were stratified into three groups (1, 2, and 3/4) based on clinical severity, with higher scores indicating more seve...
متن کاملDecreased tear lipocalin concentration in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction.
BACKGROUND/AIM Recent studies have demonstrated that tear lipocalin (TL) and phospholipids have a crucial role in maintaining tear film stability. The level of TL in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) was examined and these data were correlated with the severity of their clinical disorder. METHODS 12 patients with obstructive MGD, 12 patients with seborrhoeic MGD, and 12 age matc...
