The needs of a society are closely related to medical progress and its contribution. For instance, research on AIDS and cancer is carried out to meet the demand of contemporary society. Thyroid disease caused by iodine deficiency is one such challenge, and "radiation and thyroid" is another major research theme. Clinical investigation and basic research on radiation-induced thyroid diseases thr...

Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin disorder that accounts for 15%-20% of dermatological cases. There is growing evidence that some cases of chronic idiopathic urticarial (CIU) are associated with various autoimmune diseases, including thyroid autoimmunity. This study aims to identify the thyroidprofile, including thyroid autoantibodies, in patients with CU.Methods: This case-co...

In general, rare thyroid diseases can be divided into neoplastic and non-neoplastic. Neoplastic rare thyroid diseases include the following: 1. primary thyroid lymphoma (1-5% all malignant neoplasms of the thyroid; 2:1 000 000 per year); 2. metastases to the thyroid gland (2-3% malignant thyroid neoplasms; 0.5-2.8% in autopsy) from various primary cancers such as breast carcinoma, renal carcino...

Thyroid imaging is indicated to evaluate congenital hypothyroidism during newborn screening or in cases of a palpable thyroid mass in children and adolescents. This pictorial essay reviews the ultrasonography (US) of thyroid diseases in children and adolescents, including normal thyroid gland development, imaging features of congenital thyroid disorders (dysgenesis, [aplasia, ectopy, hypoplasia...

352 Epidemiology Both anemia and thyroid dysfunction are common disorders.4-6 The peak incidence of anemia is around 10% in the female population of child-bearing age, as well as in the elderly population.7,8 A recent large cohort population-based study demonstrated that in the population at an estimated mean age of 59.4 years, the prevalence of thyroid function disturbances was 5.0%, while ane...

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) are characterized by the presence of thyroid-specifi c autoantibodies. These are direc ted against thyroid microsomes, for which the main target antigen is thyroid peroxidase (TPO), against thyroglobulin (TG), or against the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. AITD frequently occur in combination with other autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravi...

introduction: saliva as a simple non-invasive method of gaining body fluids has been used to detect the thyroid hormones. a single method for determining these hormones has not been clearly stated in the literature. furthermore, thyroid diseases would affect the salivary glands and may compromise salivary flow. materials and methods: a comprehensive search was conducted using pubmed and medline...

Background: Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO antibody) is a member of thyroid autoantibodies which are important in inducing and also diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases. Thyroid autoimmunity can cause several forms of thyroiditis and abnormal thyroid functions, ranging from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum levels of anti-TPO ...
