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...

Aim: Thyroid is a suitable organ for the investigation with ultrasonography due to its very superficial localization in body. It is also useful in frequent controls of the organ. The thyroid volume is variable among countries and its value in our country was not clearly demonstrated. In this study we aimed to determine the thyroid volume and its relation with isthmus thickness in Turkey. Method...

Objective The present study explored the association between insulin resistance (IR) and the clinical characteristics of thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods All the patients were newly diagnosed with T2DM. 201 patients with thyroid nodule disease and 308 patients without the nodular thyroid disease. The participants were evaluated by relevant examination....

OBJECTIVE Although the association between Down's syndrome (DS) and thyroid dysfunction is well recognized, the cause of this condition is not known. METHODS Hospital records of patients with DS and hypothyroidism referred to our clinic were retrospectively reviewed. Initial thyroid hormone and thyrotropin (TSH) levels, age at admission, initial anthropometric measurements, age at the beginni...

Although partial thyroidectomy has lower operative risk, it potentially caries the risk of leaving residual malignancy. The aim of this study was to establish malignancy rate in residual thyroid tissue in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who underwent partial thyroid surgery and subsequently had completion thyroidectomy. We also investigated a number of clinical and biochemical...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) with radioiodine in hot thyroid nodules. DESIGN Thirty consecutive outpatients with subclinical or mild hyperthyroidism and a scintigraphically solitary hot nodule with extraglandular suppression were randomized to either one ILP session or one radioiodine ((131)I) dose. METHODS ILP was performed under continuous...

BACKGROUND Hypothyroidism is a frequent late side effect of radiation therapy of the cervical region. Purpose of this work is to develop multivariate normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models for radiation-induced hypothyroidism (RHT) and to compare them with already existing NTCP models for RHT. METHODS Fifty-three patients treated with sequential chemo-radiotherapy for Hodgkin's ...

BACKGROUND Radiation to the neck has long been associated with an elevated risk of hypothyroidism development. The goal of the present work is to define dosimetric predictors of hypothyroidism in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy. METHODS Data for 123 patients, with a median follow up of 4.6 years, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients wi...

In the present study, changes in thyroid follicular cell volume and its regulation have been investigated during the early involution of a hyperplastic goitre. Male Wistar rats were administered an iodine deficient diet for 6 months with propylthiouracil (PTU, 0.15%) during the last two months. At the end of iodine deficiency (day 0), some rats were killed and the others received a normal iodin...
