normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa anaplastic thyroid cancer (atc) is a rare disease with an incidence of less than three cases per million of habitants in western countries. atc accounts for 1‑10% of all tumors derived from the thyroid gland. classic chemotherapy approach based on platinum and anthracyclines regimens have been considered standard for the last decades. novel multit...

Background: Within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced X-ray emission. The PIXE has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. Materials and Methods: Th...

introduction: saliva as a simple non-invasive method of gaining body fluids has been used to detect the thyroid hormones. a single method for determining these hormones has not been clearly stated in the literature. furthermore, thyroid diseases would affect the salivary glands and may compromise salivary flow. materials and methods: a comprehensive search was conducted using pubmed and medline...

resistance to thyroid hormone is an uncommon condition. we report the clinical and laboratory findings of a case with both resistance to thyroid hormone and, a reduced capacity to produce and respond to thyroid hormone. rth is a disorder characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormones, state of non-suppressed pituitary tsh secretion and refractoriness to hormone action in peripheral tiss...

ghrelin increases food intakes and body weight. bombesin decreases food intakes and inhibits the stimulatory effect of ghrelin on food intakes. thyroid hormones have a crucial role in the regulation of body weight and yet the effect of bombesin on thyroid axis activity is not fully clear. therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the effect of different doses of ghrelin or bombesin on ...

although the basic question of ablative threshold dose for ablation of thyroid remnant after surgery yet remains unanswered. but radioiodine therapy is being used as a standard method of treatment. in present research, treatment responces for 100 patients with thyroid cancer treated with 3660 mbq of ¹³¹i were studied. significant response differences between female group (66%) and male group (3...

thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. this study surveys the pathologic characteristics of thyroid cancerin mashhad and study of papillary carcinoma in more detail. in this retrospective study, 108 out of 197 cases of thyroid cancer were papillary in type (55%), with female to male ratio of 1.91 which is lower than current reports. the age at the time of diagnosis ranged from ...

despite increasing detection rates of various forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (tb), thyroid involvement with tubercle bacilli is rarely encountered and its imaging features have been reported in less than a handful of cases. herein, we present the clinical, pathologic and imaging (ultrasound and ct scan) features of tb involvement of the thyroid gland in a 65-year-old woman who presented w...

Objective(s): As the most prevalent endocrine system malignancy, papillary thyroid carcinoma had a very fast rising incidence in recent years for unknown reasons besides the fact that the current methods in thyroid cancer diagnosis still hold some limitations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to improve the potential molecular markers for diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules to...
