In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...

A 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. In the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. However, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment t...

The objectives of this study were (a): to define the effects of light, dark, and temperature on nodule activity (acetylene reduction), and (b) to establish the contributions of reserve carbohydrate and recent photosynthate to the support of nodule function. An in situ assay of nodule activity was developed for use with intact, hydroponically grown soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Calland).N...

A 64-year-old Iranian woman presented with a genital erosive skin lesion that she had noticed from two years ago. On physical examination, a 20 to 25 millimeter purplish lesion was observed on the vulval skin (Figure 1). The indurated lesion showed a small central erosion measuring 3 to 5 mm. Inguinal lymph nodules were not palpable. A skin biopsy specimen was obtained from the eroded les...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of measures related to vocal tract characteristics in classifying normal and pathological speech. Unlike conventional approaches that mainly focus on features related to the vocal source, vocal tract characteristics are examined to determine if interaction effects between vocal folds and the vocal tract can be used to detect pathological speech. Especia...

objectives: nasality is one of the important parameters in pathology of voice resonance. voice of normal adults has nasality to some extent. it appears that nasality, like other parameters of voice, can be affected by loudness which can be measured in experimental evaluations. this study was conducted to determine the effect of vocal loudness on nasalance of vowels in normal adults and to ident...

introduction:tapia’s syndrome is a rare complication of recurrent laryngeal and hypoglossal nerve paralysis due to anesthetic airway mismanagement or malpositioning of the patient’s head during surgery. case report:here we present a case of tapia's syndrome in a 22-year-old male after corrective jaw surgery under general anesthesia, with a long period of recovery, related to airway managem...

Gln synthetase (GS) is the key enzyme of primary ammonia assimilation in nitrogen-fixing root nodules of legumes and actinorhizal (Frankia-nodulated) plants. In root nodules of Datisca glomerata (Datiscaceae), transcripts hybridizing to a conserved coding region of the abundant nodule isoform, DgGS1-1, are abundant in uninfected nodule cortical tissue, but expression was not detectable in the i...

A 59-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma inside of an autonomously functioning thyroid nodule is described in this report. The patient was referred to our clinic because of rapid weight loss and swelling on the left side of the neck. Ultrasonography of the thyroid demonstrated a nonhomogeneous nodule in the lower part of an enlarged left lobe. Both 99mTc and 123I thyroid scintigraph...

Purpose: To investigate whether there is an association between the frequency of occurrence of vocal symptoms, the intensity of vocal deviation and laryngeal diagnosis in patients with different voice disorders. Methods: The study included 330 patients with vocal complaints. The patients were divided into five groups according to the laryngeal diagnosis: G1without laryngeal lesions; G2 -benign ...
