Role of ultrasonography in thyroid disease.
Ultrasonography (US) is the single-most valuable imaging modality in the evaluation of the thyroid gland. This review discusses the US appearances of thyroid nodules, emphasizing sonographic features associated with potentially malignant or, at the other end of the spectrum, likely benign nodules. Diffuse thyroid abnormalities have also been reviewed. The technique of ultrasound-guided fine-nee...

This proportion increases in areas with insufficient iodine intake. Non-palpable thyroid nodules are usually diagnosed by a neck echography carried out for various reasons and are 5-10 folds more common than palpable...

متن کاملParaoxonase role in dyslipidemia in thyroid disease (review article)
Introduction: Thyroid disease e.g. hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and subclinical hypothyroidism are among the most common endocrine disorders. Dyslipidemia is prevalent in thyroid diseases and lipid oxidation due to oxidative stress play an important role in the pathogenesis of thyroid diseases. Antioxidant enzymes such as paraxonase have a protective role in these patients and their activit...
متن کاملThe Role of Insulin Resistance/Hyperinsulinism in the Evolution of Thyroid Nodular Disease in Humans
Nodular thyroid disease or nodular goiter is characterized by the presence of a single or multiple nodules within the thyroid parenchyma. The formation of thyroid nodules is thought to be the result of the intrinsic heterogeneity of thyroid follicular cells, in responding to low-grade or intermittent stimulus, regarding their growth potential and function [1,2]. This heterogeneity in growth and...
