Nodular toxic goiter in children: clinical features, morphological variants

Effectiveness of Radioiodine Treatment for Toxic Nodular Goiter

OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the treatment outcomes in patients with toxic nodular goiter (TNG) that received radioiodine treatment (RAIT) and to determine the influence of age, gender, nodule size, I-131 dose, underlying etiology and antithyroid drugs on the outcomes of RAIT. METHODS Two hundred thirty three patients (mean 64±10 years old) with TNG that receiv...

Animal models of disease: feline hyperthyroidism: an animal model for toxic nodular goiter.

Since first discovered just 35 years ago, the incidence of spontaneous feline hyperthyroidism has increased dramatically to the extent that it is now one of the most common disorders seen in middle-aged to senior domestic cats. Hyperthyroid cat goiters contain single or multiple autonomously (i.e. TSH-independent) functioning and growing thyroid nodules. Thus, hyperthyroidism in cats is clinica...
