The association between TSH and serum lipids in people with no apparent thyroid dysfunction is less understood. We have investigated the association between normal thyroid function, defined as TSH within the reference range and serum lipids concentrations. Cross-sectional, population based study with 1785 individuals without known thyroid dysfunction. We calculated mean concentrations of total ...

Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine correlation between thyroid gland elasticity with thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, age, gender and volume in normal population. Methods: was conducted 105 healthy cases. Thyroid evaluated axial plan using ultrasonography. Results: relationship evaluated. mean 11.95 ± 9.23 mm3. A moderate negative found kPa value observed from elasto...

OBJECTIVE Interferon-beta (IFN-β) is widely used in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. High incidence of thyroid dysfunction has been reported after administration of IFN-β in MS patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of IFN-β1a therapy on simultaneous thyroid and salivary gland function in patients with MS using quant...

Thyroid gland disorders of various types; congenital , infectious, autoimmune, benign and malignant lesions. In the present study we have focused on all the disorders with special reference to age, sex, etiology, etiopathogenesis, complication and pathological diagnostic part of thyroid lesions. This study helps in the detection of thyroid lesions in the early diagnosis, treatment and assessmen...

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 ...

Background: Due to volatility of radioactive iodine solutions, usually internal exposure would occur in personnel that are working in nuclear medicine centers. The activities in the thyroid of individual s who work in nuclear medicine centers of North West provinces of Iran were measured using NaI (Sodium Iodide) detectors. In every center, nearly 40 - 500 mCi of 131 I and 50 - 600 μ Ci of 125 ...

Vocal cords paralysis is not a rare entity and is usually caused by malignant thyroid tomors, and major thyroid & neck surgeries, nontheless it has some unusual and even idiopathic causes as well. This is a report of a case with the primary tuberculosis of thyroid gland which has been confirmed both pathologicaly and microbiologically. The lesion was on the same side of paralysis and had advanc...

PURPOSE To establish a multivariate normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. METHODS AND MATERIALS The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level of 105 patients treated with (chemo-) radiation therapy for head-and-neck cancer was prospectively measured during a median follow-up of 2.5 years. Hypothyroidism was defined as elevated serum TSH with d...

Objective — to study of the frequency, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment tuberculosis thyroid gland.
 Materials methods. Analyses date world experience own observations.
 Results discussion. Thyroid is a less frequent localization this disease. Currently, most authors believe that diagnosed in 0.1–1 % all known cases tuberculosis. Clinical observations have found gland more of...

Preliminary to a study of various pathological thyroid states, it was considered necessary to investigate first the carbohydrate metabolism of the normal gland. Also, it was thought that the information gained regarding the function and energetics of the normal gland might eventually provide an insight into the mechanism of formation of the hormone, thyroxine. Although numerous studies related ...
