In the present study serum concentrations of T3, T4, TSH were measured in 140 goitrous school children, aged 6-12 yrs of both sexes from Siddhartnagar, located in sub-Himalayan tarai region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh where endemic goiter and iodine deficiency are prevalent. The results show that overall 10.0% studied population (12.9% boys and 7.7% girls) has TSH level above 6.1μIU/ml indicating ...

A semiautomatic procedure is presented for the separate determination of total T3 and T4 in serum in approximately 10 hrs simultaneously in 25 samples. Removal of the thyroid hormones from the serum, separation of T3 from T4 and concentration of the peaks were achieved in a closed system, consisting of three consecutive columns. The automatic microchemical iodine determination of T3 and T4 resp...

One hundred and forty seven clinically proven hyperthyroid subjects were studied using radioimmunoassay techniques for the estimation of serum thyroid hormones and pituitaryTSH concentrations. In females toxic goitre was more frequently seen in the age group 21 to 30 years and in males 31 to 40 years. The mean levels for serum T4, T3, FT4 and FT1 were significantly elevated while the mean level...

Since first discovered just 35 years ago, the incidence of spontaneous feline hyperthyroidism has increased dramatically to the extent that it is now one of the most common disorders seen in middle-aged to senior domestic cats. Hyperthyroid cat goiters contain single or multiple autonomously (i.e. TSH-independent) functioning and growing thyroid nodules. Thus, hyperthyroidism in cats is clinica...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous goiter hemorrhage is a rare entity that can lead to life-threatening respiratory compromise. Goiter hemorrhages are usually due to effects of anticoagulation or neoplastic processes. The hormonal effects of pregnancy may also lead to such life-threatening goiter hemorrhages in the immediate postpartum period. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who com...

Objective: This study aimed to summarize the experience in diagnosis and surgical treatment for giant goiter. Methods: The clinical features of 66 patients with giant goiter were retrospectively reviewed, and the perioperative management, postoperative complications and treatments were summarized. Results: All the patients received surgical treatment: total thyroidectomy in 46 patients, bilater...

background: much research has widely been conducted into thyroid hormones levels following radiotherapy for breast cancer. consequently, in this study, we evaluated to relate the rate of thyroid hormones levels with the dose distribution among breast cancer patients. material and methods: thirty patients were treated with 4-field breast cancer radiotherapy. the dose volume histograms, the volum...

Maximum serum thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) levels of healthy calves were seen at 1 day after birth, and thereafter rapidly decreased until 5 days after birth. They stabilized until 2 weeks after birth, then gradually decreased until 4 weeks after birth. Serum T4 levels of calves with endemic goiter tended to be lower than those of healthy ones, but showed similar levels to those of ...

Three hundred and four patients with clinically proven, non-toxic diffuse goitre were investigated. Iodine uptake was performed according to a standard technique, i.e., 2 hour, 24 and 48 hours after oral administration of Radio Iodine. Serum thyroid hormones (T4 T3, FF4, and T3-uptake) and TSH were measured by RLA techniques and results were compared with normal Two types of kits were used, the...
