Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), formerly called Hodgkin disease, has attained high survival rates (≥75% at ten years for all grades and stages combined, age-standardised), with continued improvements in treatment modalities since the 1940s, when radiotherapy was first used to combat the disease. Today, sequential chemotherapy and radiation are used in many cases, but certain groups of patients, dependen...

In babies with congenital hypothyroidism, goiter and respiratory distress (due to upper airway compression/hypothyroidism) are rarely encountered as the first presenting signs. Computerized Tomography of neck revealed enlargement all thyroid gland lobes further laboratory hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy was initiated early, which resulted in a significant reduction regressio...

Primary hypothyroidism is a graded phenomenon with a wide spectrum of severity between subclinical hypothyroidism and overt hypothyroidism. Patients with biochemically severe hypothyroidism may present with only mild clinical manifestations, whereas some patients with moderate changes in thyroid hormones may present with severe signs of tissue hypothyroidism. The measurement of pituitary thyroi...

Abstract Background Hypothyroidism (HT) and carotid artery stenosis (CAS) are complications of radiotherapy (RT) in patients with head neck cancer (HNC). The impact post-RT HT on CAS progression remains unclear. Methods Between 2013 2014, HNC who had ever received RT were under regular follow-up our hospital initially screened. Patients categorized into euthyroid (EU) groups. Details recorded. ...

Previous studies on advanced radiotherapy (RT) techniques for early stage glottic cancer have focused on sparing the carotid artery. However, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the dosimetric advantages of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in terms of sparing the thyroid gland in early-stage glottic cancer patients. In total, 15 cT1N0M0 glottic cancer patients treated with defin...

TWO TRABS: TSBAb and TSAb. TSBAb causes hypothyroidism. TSAb causes Graves' hyperthyroidism. TSBAb and TSAb block TSH-binding to cells as TRAb, measured as TSH-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII). We reevaluate TSBAb and TSAb. We studied TSBAb, TSAb, and TBII over 10 years in 34 TSBAb-positives with hypothyroidism and in 98 TSAb-positives with hyperthyroidism. Half of the 34 TSBAb-positive...
