Filter by:The clinical data from all except the first 20 cases who underwent our novel transaxillary thyroidectomy were collected retrospectively, while the data from patients who underwent conventional open thyroid lobectomy by same surgeon during the same period were used as a control.
Evaluate the accuracy of USE in comparison with FNAC in characterization of solitary thyroid nodule and assessment the risk of malignancy
The purpose of this study to learn more about the use of redifferentiating medications as a standard treatment for radioactive iodine/RAI-refractory thyroid cancer. This study is a registry study.
This study was conducted to develop an AI solution to evaluate clinical activity score (CAS) of thyroid associated orbitopathy (TAO) using periocular selfie images taken by smartphones in patients with thyroid dysfunction. An AI solution to evaluate CAS in TAO was developed in previous retrospective study using periorbital digital images taken by DSLR camera in the studio. This AI solution will be adjusted to show its best performance with periocular selfie images taken by smartphones.
There is no scientific data on post-thermal ablation cytological aspects, but treated nodules that grow back significantly after a procedure justify a new cytology in order not to ignore a neoplastic process. The EU-TIRADS classification usually used to stratify the risk of cancer (and to justify a fine needle aspiration biopsy) of thyroid nodules is not validated for nodules treated by thermal ablation (TA) (post-RF nodules). However, these nodules often acquire ultrasound criteria of suspicion making it necessary to develop an ultrasound stratification of the risk of malignancy specific to nodules treated by TA. The objective of this work is to describe the ultrasound and cytological aspects of these treated nodules by performing a systematic assessment at 3 years after thermal ablation including systematic neck ultrasound and fine needle aspiration biopsy. Thus, an ultrasound and cytological atlas (Bethesda classification 2017) of nodules treated by thermal ablation will be constituted.
Thyroid function among pediatric patients with type1 diabetes mellitus at the first presentation, from patients' characteristics to disease severity
The aging trend of China's population is intensifying. More than 50% of the elderly in China suffer from thyroid disease. Thyroid dysfunction in the elderly increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Even if thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is within the normal range, brain atrophy and infarction-like vascular damage in elderly males will be aggravated with the increased TSH level. Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormones. Iodine deficiency or excess may lead to a series of thyroid diseases. The risk threshold of iodine intake in the elderly is unknown. The goal of this observational study is to clarify the relationship between thyroid diseases and iodine intake in the elderly. The aims are: 1. to clarify the differences in the prevalence of thyroid diseases in the elderly with different iodine nutrition backgrounds. 2. to analyze the effects of mild iodine deficiency and iodine excess on the thyroid health of the elderly. 3. to explore the hazard threshold of iodine intake for old people. 4. to compare the differences in thyroid disease and iodine nutritional status between young and middle-aged people and old people.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the role of TSI, as well as clinical signs and thyroid function tests in predicting Graves' disease (GD) relapse after withdrawing anti thyroid drug (ATD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To investigate the serum TSI concentration in patients with GD undergoing maintenance-dose ATD. 2. To determine an optimal cut-off of TSI level for predicting GD relapse. 3. To determine the role of TSI in predicting Graves' disease relapse after withdrawing ATD.
Thyroid cancer is a common head and neck malignancy. It is the most common endocrine tumor in the body accounting for 1% of all cancers worldwide. The incidence of thyroid cancer varies worldwide. Most countries have reported an upward trend in its incidence. Thyroid cancer encompass the most common well-differentiated papillary carcinoma (80% of all thyroid cancers) and follicular carcinoma (15%), as well as poorly differentiated carcinoma (< 1%) and anaplastic carcinoma (< 2%). Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) are the most commonly encountered thyroid malignancies. The diagnosis of PTC is based on the special nuclear features such as overlapping of nuclei, intranuclear inclusions, optical clearing, anisonucleosis and nuclear grooves. However, it is often difficult to differentiate PTC from benign papillary thyroid hyperplasia . As differentiation between benign or malignant thyroid lesions has clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic significance, it is necessary to make accurate diagnosis by using biomarkers. Recently, a large number of immunohistochemical (IHC) markers have been studied to assist in differentiating non-neoplastic lesions from malignant thyroid lesions. CK19, galectin-3, TG, Ki67, BRAF, calcitonin, HBME-1, TTF-1, and RET are some of the examples of these IHC markers. Galectin-3 is a 31-kDa β-galactoside binding lectin. It has been shown to be expressed by several types of non-neoplastic and neoplastic cells, and it is involved in cell-cell adhesion and in cell-matrix interactions.
Thyroidectomy is one of the commonest elective surgeries in surgical practice nowadays. It is associated with wide range of complications, from unnoticed events up to lifelong problems and even life-threatening complications. The most troublesome are bleeding, nerve injury and hypocalcemia. The current study was conducted to report the incidence and predictive factors for perioperative complications, aiming to point out preventive measures.
