BACKGROUND Iodine deficiency affects nearly 1.9 billion people worldwide, but it can be prevented by salt iodization. This cross-sectional survey assessed current iodine status, iodized salt coverage and risk factors for goitre among schoolchildren in South Tajikistan. METHODS Ten primary schools in four districts in South Tajikistan were randomly selected. In schoolchildren aged 7 to 11 year...
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that worldwide 2 billion people, including 285 million school-age children, still have iodine deficiency despite major national and international efforts to increase iodine intake, primarily through the voluntary or mandatory iodization of salt. Iodine deficiency has substantial effects on growth and development and is the most common cause of preve...
Retrosternal goitre presents in 2 - 19% of all thyroidectomies. Surgical removal is the treatment choice. We report a case an anterior retrosternal goitre, which was removed by combined cervical/sternotomy approach.
Iodine is an essential element in the chemical structure of thyroid hormones. The human body requires around 150 g of iodine everyday, which works out to be a teaspoonful (5gm) over a life span of 70 years. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of brain damage. The magnitude of IDD in India includes 167 million people at risk and goitre is being considered as important public health probl...
INTRODUCTION Previous studies of goitre in Sri Lanka proposed the presence of a goitre belt, which was refuted subsequently. Epidemiology of goitre in the post iodization era needs re-evaluation. Objectives To describe the epidemiology of goitre in Sri Lanka. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in designated zones except in conflict areas in 2006/2007. An interviewer adm...
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of universal salt iodization (USI) on the prevalence of iodine deficiency in the population of an area previously known to have severe iodine deficiency in India. DESIGN In a cross-sectional survey, a total of 2860 subjects residing in fifty-three villages of four sub-districts of Gonda District were examined for goitre and ur...
BACKGROUND The incidence and potential risk factors for the recurrence of benign nodular goitre after unilateral thyroidectomy are not clearly defined. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of progression of nodular goitre in the contralateral thyroid lobe and of hypothyroidism requiring replacement therapy after unilateral thyroid lobectomy for benign nodular goitre. PATIENTS AND METH...
