Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine correlation between thyroid gland elasticity with thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone levels, age, gender and volume in normal population. Methods: was conducted 105 healthy cases. Thyroid evaluated axial plan using ultrasonography. Results: relationship evaluated. mean 11.95 ± 9.23 mm3. A moderate negative found kPa value observed from elasto...

Objective: The copper-zinc superoxide dismutase gene resides on chromosome 21 and is over expressed in Down syndrome patients. Reactive oxygen species can initiate lipid peroxidation and DNA damage leading to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and cell death, if the antioxidant system is impaired. Down syndrome is associated with various forms of thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism being the most comm...

results the results indicated that ghrelin significantly decreased thyroid hormone concentrations, whereas estradiol increased these concentrations. the simultaneous injection of ghrelin and estradiol significantly decreased the inhibitory effect of ghrelin on thyroid hormone concentrations (p < 0.05). conclusions according to the results of this study, both ghrelin and estradiol affect the con...

Indices of thyroid function were measured in 97 preterm infants at birth and at 5, 10, and 15 days of age. Triiodothyronine uptake, free thyroxine index, thyroxine, free thyroxine, triiodothyronine, reverse triiodothyronine, and thyroxine binding globulin values at birth correlated with gestational age, whereas thyroid stimulating hormone values did not. Treatment with steroids prenatally had n...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION The coexistence of autoimmune hyperthyroid disease and thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma is rare. The simple presumption of coincidence of these two diseases has a calculated incidence of less than one/several hundred million, and only four cases with histological confirmation have been reported. A rapid decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone le...

Hormones are hormones secreted by the thyroid gland and their primary function is to regulate speed of metabolism in many tissues. The releases its into bloodstream response a regulating hormone released pituitary called thyroid-stimulating hormone. It only organ body that has ability synthesize iodine large quantities for use synthesis hormones. consists two lobes, joined together isthmus, loc...

Abstract Neonatal thyrotoxicosis is mostly caused by the transplacental passage of maternal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodies (TRAb) to fetus. Although rare and transient, this condition may be associated with significant morbidity mortality if not diagnosed treated in an appropriate timely manner. Anti-thyroid drugs are main therapy. Here, we report a preterm newborn that p...
