The main objective of this study is to investigate the outcome between surgical procedures and the risk of development of hypoparathyroidism followed by surgical procedure in patients with thyroid disorders.We analyzed the data acquired from Taiwan's Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI) research database from 1998 to 2011 and found 9316 patients with thyroid surgery. Cox regression model ...

Single and multiple adenomas were found in rats subjected to subtotal thyroid ectomy and in those subtotally thyroidectomized and given injections of 1 juc.of I131. In rats subjected to these same treatments but, in addition, fed the thyroid-containing diet, significantly fewer adenomas were encountered. Four papillary carcinomas and one follicular carcinoma were found in rats subjected to subt...

The thyroids of primary thyrotoxicosis patients prepared for partial thyroidectomy with propranolol contained much more lymphoid infiltrate than those prepared with carbimazole. No relation was found between the extent of lymphoid infiltrate in the thyroid and the development of postoperative hypothyroidism either between or within the two drug treatment groups. This study has shown that the ex...

Experiments are described in which the thyroid or thymus gland of rabbits was removed prior to inoculation of the animals with Tr. pallidum. The effect of these procedures is described from the standpoint of the manifestations of the disease. After complete thyroidectomy, the disease was considerably more severe than in the controls and very markedly so in certain instances. Partial tyroidectom...

AIM The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess and validate the feasibility and safety of total thyroidectomy (TT) when compared to bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy (BST) for bilateral multinodular nontoxic goiter (BMNG). MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and Ovid's database were searched for studies published in English language between January 1990 and December 2014. A meta-an...

UNLABELLED We prospectively studied the effects of the ligation of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) on postoperative hypoparathyroidism in 48 patients who underwent functional subtotal thyroidectomy. Patients were randomized into two groups: A, with bilateral ligation of the ITA and B, without ligation of the ITA. Parathyroid function was checked preoperatively and after surgery by clinical ex...
