Unexpected Change in Thyroglobulin Concentration

Serum thyroglobulin concentration in normal pregnancy.

We measured the levels of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) in 52 pregnant females at various stages and compared them with those of 15 age-matched nonpregnant females. Serum Tg was measured by a solid-phase immunoradiometric assay. In pregnant females, mean serum Tg levels at the first, second, early third, and late third trimesters were 8.4 (range; 1.3-18.0), 9.2 (1.7-25.6), 10.1 (1.8-22.8), and 12.1 ...

Evaluating Unexpected Change in a Distributed Collection

Curating a digital collection is not an easy task. It is not unusual for digital collections to degrade and suffer from problems associated with unexpected change. Many research groups (including ours) have examined the implications of the Web’s decentralized administration on the stability of materials. [1-4]. Furthermore, in an analysis of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) confere...

Fatty change in the brain in perinatal and unexpected death.

The presence of fat-laden cells in the cerebrospinal fluid is usually associated with a fatty change found particularly in the area of the tapetum in the postnatal infant. In a series of 307 child deaths the presence of fatty change in this area of the brain was age-related, decreased with age, and was rarely present over the age of 4 years. It was particularly common in stillborns and in child...

Thyroglobulin concentration in neonatal blood: a possible test for neonatal hypothyroidism.

A study of thyroglobulin concentration in the thyroid and serum of patients with different thyroid disorders.

Knowledge concerning the structure and quality of thyroglobulin (Tg) has great significance for the better understanding of the pathogenesis of different thyroid diseases. The localization of the Tg gene and studies of its structure by molecular biological techniques make possible precise investigations of its expression. The aim of our study was to evaluate Tg content in the thyroids and Tg co...
