This study aimed to identify factors that affect the size of benign thyroid nodules and to predict nodule size by using a newly developed model. Because most thyroid nodules are benign, they are commonly only monitored. Only a few studies have evaluated the natural progression or regression of benign thyroid nodules. Large-scale studies on the subject are nonexistent. Between January 2001 and D...

INTRODUCTION Chondrosarcoma metastases in the thyroid gland are exceptional. To the best of our knowledge, only two cases have been previously reported in the literature. Here we report the third case. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 51-year-old Arab woman who presented in 2011 with a diaphyseal chondrosarcoma of her right tibia treated by surgery. In the last quarter of 2013, she p...

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...

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...

Laszlo Hegedüs, MD, Department of Internal Medicine and Endocrinology F, Herlev Hospital, DK-2730 Herlev (Denmark) Dear Sir, We read with great interest the article by Sennesael et al. [1] addressing among others the question of goiter frequency in uremia. While we agree with their results and conclusions on free thyroid hormone concentrations, the data presented on thyroid size evaluation does...

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...

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 ...
