In previous communications we reported stimulation in uitro of glucose oxidation in the thyroid by thyroid-stimulating hormone and acetylcholine (1, 2). These observations have been extended to epinephrine and related compounds. Epinephrine is known to affect the physiology of the thyroid gland. Both epinephrine and norepinephrine modify thyroid blood flow and increase the release of thyroid ho...

The interaction of immunological system, thyroid and pineal gland was studied in 5-week old males of Gallus domesticus. Several morphometrical parameters in pineal and thyroid glands were measured after bird immunization with human red blood cells and/or treatment with melatonin or seduxen, melatonin receptor blocker. The peak of the thyroid activity was found on Day 7 after immunization. The i...

Ectopic thyroid is a congenital defect in which the thyroid gland is located away from the usual pretracheal location. Dual ectopic thyroid, which consists of two foci of thyroid tissue, is very rare. In this case dual ectopic thyroid with subclinical hypothyroidism in a 10-year-old-girl was reported. The absence of the thyroid gland in the pretracheal location was revealed by ultrasonography (...

The name thyroid gland, in English, is derived from the Latin glandula thyreoidea, meaning shield-shaped gland, named by Thomas Warton in 1656 [1]. As the first endocrine gland to develop embryologically [2], it possesses important functions from fetal development until death. Embryologically, the development of the thyroid gland begins in the fourth week of development as a depression and epit...

The author investigated clinically the correlation between thyroid function and Meniere's syndrome. The results are, on the whole, as follows: 1) As the results of thyroid function tests such as serum protein-bound-iodine (P.B.I.), radioactive iodine (I131) uptake of the thyroid gland (24 hour method), basal metabolic rate (B.M.R.), blood cholesterol, and the enlargement of the thyroid gland on...

BACKGROUND፡ The thyroid, along with the breast, lung, and bone marrow, is among most radiosensitive organs. This study aims to assess rate of unnecessary radiation exposure thyroid gland in patients who had chest Computed Tomography (CT) at a large teaching hospital. 
 METHOD: Hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional on 1,306 underwent CT from July 2018 January 2019. Thyroid inclusion ...

The following conclusions may be drawn from the experiments presented in this article. 1. Excessive meat diet develops hypertrophy of the thyroid gland. A definite hypertrophy of the parathyroid gland under the same conditions has not been established. A meat diet does not develop hypertrophy of the thyroid gland when insufficiency of the parathyroid gland exists at the same time, even if no cl...

colorectal cancer (crc) metastasis to the thyroid gland is rare. here wereport a 45 yr-old man in western iran referred to hematology clinic, kermanshah city, iran in march 2014 with complaint of exertional dyspnea, multi-nodular goiter as well as complaint of exertional dyspnea, and multi-nodular goiter. his history included a low anterior resection of rectum in 9 months ago for a high-risk st...

Backround. Thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) is a developmental abnormality of the thyroid gland. Due to embryological remnants of thyroid tissue located in the TDC, the same malignant tumors that develop in the thyroid gland can also develop in the TDC. Methods. We present the unique case of a 39-year-old female with simultaneous de novo papillary carcinoma in a TDC and the thyroid gland. Results. ...
