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 ...

Nowadays thyroid gland disorder is very common disease. More than one third of all women may be found to have at least one thyroid nodule disorder during their lifetime. Thyroid detection test is usually done by invasive and noninvasive methods. Invasive methods are traumatic methods and non-invasive methods like ultrasound and x-rays should not be used many time. Thyroid function tests (TFTs) ...

Introduction hyroid gland receives more blood per gram of tissue (5.5 ml/gm/min) than any other organ. 1 All blood is supplied by a number of arteries and drained by an even greater number of veins. Recurrent laryngeal nerve is intimately related with thyroid gland especially with inferior thyroid arteries. The diseases which usually affect the thyroid gland are hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism,...

cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in children. these tumors are generally asymptomatic, although they may be associated with neonatal tuberous sclerosis complex. despite the fact that thyroid dysfunction rarely occurs in tuberous sclerosis, papillary adenomas (hamartomas) of the thyroid gland have been reported in a number of autopsies. herein, we present the case ...

OBJECTIVE This paper aims to propose a protocol with the topographical relations of the ESLN and the superior thyroid artery in order to minimize the number of flaws in the proposals found in the literature. METHODS the cervical regions of 57 human cadavers from the Forensic Medicine Institute were dissected bilaterally, with photographic identification of the ESLNs and their relation to the ...
