Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine correlation between thyroid gland elasticity with thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, age, gender and volume in normal population. Methods: was conducted 105 healthy cases. Thyroid evaluated axial plan using ultrasonography. Results: relationship evaluated. mean 11.95 ± 9.23 mm3. A moderate negative found kPa value observed from elasto...

OBJECTIVE Although the association between Down's syndrome (DS) and thyroid dysfunction is well recognized, the cause of this condition is not known. METHODS Hospital records of patients with DS and hypothyroidism referred to our clinic were retrospectively reviewed. Initial thyroid hormone and thyrotropin (TSH) levels, age at admission, initial anthropometric measurements, age at the beginni...

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...

INTRODUCTION It is important to know the size of the thyroid gland, and its normal value may vary among different geographic regions. OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to establish reference ranges for thyroid volume in euthyroid adults and to compare these results with the literature data. METHODS Between June 2011 and June 2012,461 patients with normal laboratory results (serum TSH, anti-...

administration of a precise amount of activity in thyroid gland radioiodine (¹³¹i) therapy is of prime importance. several methods for this purpose have been suggested and used over many years. in this paper, a method for required ¹³¹i activity calculation for each case has been proposed. major factors affecting ¹³¹i calculation such as gland volume, integral dose, and prescription index have b...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between selenium status, thyroid Volume and gland echostructure. DESIGN Cross-sectional. METHODS In 792 men (45-60 Years) and 1108 women (35-60 Years) from the SU.VI.MAX study, thyroid Volume and gland echostructure were determined ultrasonographically. At baseline, thyrotropin, free thyroxine, selenium, zinc, alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, retino...

The name of Dr. G. R. Murray, of Newcastle, is forever associated with the thyroid treatment, one of the most remarkable of the new methods of treatment of the century just closed. It is, therefore, peculiarly fitting that a book devoted to the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland should be written by Dr. Murray. iV-Luch that is in the present volume was written h>r the Goulstonian Lectur...

Thyroid volume reduction was observed, among 25 subjects off-therapy after Hodgkin's disease. The volume reduction was related to dose (p = 0.014) and time from radiotherapy (p = 0.01). The correlation was very specific since all patients with reduced volume had hypothyroidism, but not very sensitive since 25% of subjects with thyroid dysfunction had normal gland volume.

i131 is a famous radio-iodine isotope in use for diagnosis and treatment of hyper functioning and cancerous thyroid gland. it is a nuclear reactor product; however nuclear reactor may be unavailable in some areas. replacement by i-124 may be possible, another iodine isotope producible by cyclotron; a system more available than reactor. here absorbed fraction of gamma and beta rays of i-124 thro...

Introduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can invade the thyroid gland leading to unnecessary thyroidectomies with subsequent hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Thus, clinicopathological variables should be defined in order to predict thyroid gland invasion preoperatively.   Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1,465 patients with laryngeal SCC referr...
