Background: The human thyroid gland is located in the front of neck. It consists two lobes. lobes are joined with each other by isthmus. mood stabilizer Lithium Caronate has deleterious effects on gland. Aim: To observe and report data harmful effect weight changes Methods: Sixteen rats were selected for this experimental study. rodents divided into groups. Group A comprised eight animals which...

Background: The thyroid gland absorbs nearly all the iodine in the blood, independently of its isotopic composition. When a large enough activity of radioactive iodine like 131I, 132I, 133I is taken into the body, it can destroy the healthy thyroid gland cells as well as the cancer’s cells. In fact, as it is well known, some isotopes of iodine are used not only for acquiring thyroid image...

Introduction The thyroid gland, is placed anteriorly in the lower neck, level with the fifth cervical to the first thoracic vertebrae. Ensheathed by the pretracheal fascia, the gland consists of two lateral conical lobes connected by a narrow median isthmus. Each lobe measures 5 cm long, its greatest transverse and anteroposterior extents being 3 cm and 2 cm, respectively. The isthmus connects ...

Thyroid hormones play an important role during pregnancy, providing organogenesis, growth and development of the fetus, teach in formation brain its structure, influencing cognitive abilities. dysfunction is associated with pathological course pregnancy childbirth, as well a negative effect on fetus. Iodine deficiency, which persists throughout Uzbekistan, creates prerequisites for more frequen...

according to its superficial anatomical location, the thyroid gland is easily accessible by sonography. sonography allows an exact documentation of the size and thyroid volume. the relationship between thyroid volume and anthropometric characteristics is a matter of controversy. the aim of this study was to investigate thyroid volume and its determinants in healthy adult. a cross-sectional stud...

It is the present acceptance in general that the level of dietary iodine is of paramount importance for the proper working of the thyroid gland. Remington low iodine diet is much used for studies on iodine deficiency in rats. This diet induces the hyperactive state of the thyroid gland, which is proved by the increase of I131 uptake and thyroid/serum radioiodide concentration ratio(T/S ratio)or...

BACKGROUND The incidence of metastasis to the thyroid gland in autopsy series varies from 1.25% to 24%. Metastasis to the thyroid gland is usually considered as a terminal event, and the effectiveness of conventional treatment has been questioned. METHODS Seven patients with metastasis to the thyroid gland were studied retrospectively. Primary tumor origin was identified in all of them. Metas...

Introduction: Hypothyroidism is one of the frequent side effects of radiotherapy of head and neck cancers, breast cancer, and Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is recommended to estimate the normal tissue complication probability of thyroid gland using radiobiological modeling during treatment planning. Moreover, the use of artificial neural network is also proposed as a new method for t...

Tuberculosis of thyroid gland is a very rare disease. It has variable presentations and may be sometimes associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. We report a case of 45-year-old male, with left sided painless neck swelling, with a purulent discharging sinus over it associated with night sweats and loss of appetite. Thyroid imaging disclosed heterogeneous enhancement of left lobe of thyroid gland...

The blood vascular bed of the rat thyroid gland was reproduced by injection of a methacrylate casting medium and observed with a scanning electron microscope. The rat thyroid gland received the superior and inferior thyroid arteries and emitted the superior and inferior thyroid veins. Anastomosis between the interlobular arteries or between the interlobular veins was frequently observed in the ...
