background: sonoelastography is a new ultrasound method which could be helpful to determine which thyroid nodule is malignant. we designed this study to evaluate the accuracy of sonoelastography in differentiating of benign and malignant thyroid nodules in iranian patients. methods: forty thyroid nodules in forty consecutive patients who had been referred for sonography‑guided fine‑needle aspir...

377 patients with single thyroid nodule who clinically were candidates for surgery, were selected from the patients that referred to the clinics of endocrinology at namazee hospital, shiraz medical school. fine needle aspiration (fna) was carried out without performing thyroid scan and the results were compared with histology obtained by surgery to establish its accuracy in our center. which is...

background transient hypocalcemia is one of the postoperative complications of thyroidectomy for thyroid nodules, and intraoperative and postoperative intact parathyroid hormone (ipth) assays are used to predict postoperative hypocalcemia. objectives the current study was conducted to evaluate a single serum ipth measurement on postoperative day 1 (pod 1) as a means to predict hypocalcemia occu...

Legume root nodules are induced by N-fixing rhizobium bacteria that are hosted in an intracellular manner. These nodules are formed by reprogramming differentiated root cells. The model legumeMedicago truncatula forms indeterminate nodules with a meristem at their apex. This organ grows by the activity of the meristem that adds cells to the different nodule tissues. In Medicago sativa it has be...
