ABSTARCT The thyroid gland is highly vascular organ and it lies in the interior part of the neck just below the thyroid cartilage.In medical organization,there are many ways to detect the affected interior part of the thyroid gland like CT/MRI and ultrasound imaging.But CT/MRI are expensive techniques as compare to US images.But US images are blurred and consist of noise.In the existing method,...

1 University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine www.fammed.wisc.edu/integrative As a major regulator of cellular metabolism, the thyroid gland influences an astonishing number of physiologic processes with include development and growth, thermogenesis, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, cardiac myocyte activity, reproduction and cognitive functioning. This important gland is characteristic of ve...

OBJECTIVE To examine the presentation, diagnosis, and appropriate management of renal clear cell carcinoma metastasis to the thyroid gland. METHODS We describe a clinical case of solitary thyroid metastasis from renal clear cell carcinoma and present a comprehensive review of the related English-language literature. Common patterns of presentation and generalized overall management recommenda...

The thyroid is a vascular endocrine gland with two lateral lobes connected by a narrow, median isthmus. Although a wide range of congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland has been reported in the literature, agenesis of the thyroid isthmus is a very rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid isthmus agenesis does not manifest clinical symptoms, and it can be confused with other thyroid pathologies. We de...

Thyroid ultrasound is easy to perform due to the superficial location of the thyroid gland, but appropriate equipment is mandatory with a linear high frequency transducer (7.5 - 12) MHz. Some pathological aspects of the thyroid gland are easily diagnosed by ultrasound, like the enlargement of the thyroid volume (goiter) or the presence of nodules and cysts; while other aspects are more difficul...

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 ...

Fine needle aspiration biopsy is the most feasible, safe, and accurate diagnostic tool for thyroid nodule diagnosis. The development of a sinus tract between thyroid gland and the skin through needle tract after fine needle aspiration biopsy is an extremely uncommon phenomenon. In this paper, a 71-year-old man presenting with a swelling and discharge on the anterior neck wall was reported. Simi...

Seasonal changes of the thyroid gland structure and hormones secretion was examined in yellowfin seabream Acanthopagrus latus in Persian Gulf (Zangi branch, Musa creek). Thyroid gland composed of follicles scattered around the ventral aorta, near the gills. Follicular cells varied according to secretion of the gland during warm and cold seasons. Thyroid hormones (Triidothyronine [T3] and Thyrox...

Granular cell tumor presenting as a thyroid mass is very rare. It may arise from the thyroid gland or from the tissues/organs adjacent to the thyroid gland. It may cytologically mimick other common thyroid tumors. The accurate evaluation of these tumors may be important for management. We describe a granular cell tumor arising from the tissue adjacent to the thyroid gland and with multiple orga...

Cruciferous plants viz. cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, radish, mustard etc. that contain goitrogenic/antithyroid substances, constitute a portion of regular human diet. The effect of chronic feeding of fresh and cooked radish, R. sativus under varying state of iodine intake on morphological and functional status of thyroid in albino rats was evaluated by thyroid gland morphology and histology, t...
