Reducing Operation Costs of Thyroid Nodules Using Machine Learning Algorithms with Thyroid Nodules Scoring Systems

The Effect of Oral Selenium on the Size of Thyroid Nodules in Patients with Benign Thyroid nodules: A Brief Study

Objective: The thyroid gland is susceptible to the formation of nodules. Therefore, due to the critical role of selenium in the function of the thyroid gland, the impact of this element on the size and volume of this organ and its nodules were examined. Materials and Methods: During three months, two groups consisting of 30 patients with benign thyroid nodules who were referred to Baghaeipour ...

Thyroid Nodules

Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem presenting to both endocrinologists and general practitioners. Palpable thyroid nodules are found in 4% to 7% of U.S. residents [1,2]. A large population-based study in Framingham, Massachusetts, reported palpable nodules in 6.4% of females and 1.5% of males [3]. Autopsy studies, however, report much higher rates of thyroid nodules approaching 50% [...

Machine Learning Classifier for Preoperative Diagnosis of Benign Thyroid Nodules

Diagnosis of a thyroid nodule is the most common endocrine problem in the United States. Approximately 15-30% of thyroid nodules evaluated by via the most common method, fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs), are indeterminate. Individuals with cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules are often referred for diagnostic surgery. These surgical consultations can be costly, dangerous, and in m...

Thyroid nodules.

Thyroid nodules are a common finding in the general population. They may present with symptoms of pressure in the neck or may be discovered during physical examination. Although the risk of cancer is small, it is the main reason for workup of these lesions. Measurement of thyroid-stimulating hormone can identify conditions that may cause hyperfunctioning of the thyroid. For all other conditions...
