The epidemiology of thyroid disease.
INTRODUCTION Thyroid disorders are prevalent and their manifestations are determined by the dietary iodine availability. SOURCES OF DATA Data from screening large population samples from USA and Europe. AREAS OF AGREEMENT The most common cause of thyroid disorders worldwide is iodine deficiency, leading to goitre formation and hypothyroidism. In iodine-replete areas, most persons with thyro...
متن کاملCorrelation of autonomic indices with thyroid status.
The autonomic status in female thyroid patients was compared with healthy, age matched normal females taken as controls. The patients (29 +/- 7 years) were categorised into two groups: hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. The valsalva manoeuvre, standing to lying ratio (S/L ratio) and immediate heart rate response to standing (30:15 ratio) to assess the parasympathetic status while the galvanic skin r...
متن کامل1. Epidemiology and Etiology of Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancers
Thyroid nodules are very common but thyroid cancers are not. The data that follow relate predominantly to the United States (US). Between 5% to 7% of adults have a clinically detectable nodule in the thyroid and 30% to 50% of adults have one or more nodules in the thyroid when the gland is examined by ultrasound. Therefore, in the adult population, approximately 10 and 10 have thyroid nodules t...

متن کامل5. Molecular Epidemiology of Thyroid Cancer
Molecular biology studies have greatly enhanced our knowledge of thyroid tumorigenesis, although their impact in clinical practice is still negligible. Most benign and malignant thyroid tumors have a monoclonal origin, suggesting that genetic events are responsible for their occurrence (34). These may involve the activation of oncogenes or the inactivation of tumor-suppressor genes. Several gen...
