Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Bupivicaine and Lidocaine for postoperative pain control in thyroid surgery.
Indocyanine green (ICG) is a water-soluble organic dye that is cleared totally through the hepatobiliary system. It has a half-life of 3-4 mins, which allows repeated applications. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) imaging has been recently introduced, and has been suggested as a useful tool for the identification and preservation of the parathyroid glands (PGs) during total thyroidectomy (TT). ICG can also be used for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy to predict the micrometastases in central lymph nodes (CLN) in thyroid carcinoma, and central lymph node dissection can reduce local recurrence.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of AIC100 Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells in patients with relapsed/refractory poorly differentiated thyroid cancer and anaplastic thyroid cancer, including newly diagnosed.
The most common and feared complications of total thyroidectomy are vocal cord paralyses and hypocalcemia. However, post-thyroidectomy dysphagia is not uncommon and has important consequences on the quality of life (QoL). It should be taken seriously by all clinicians.
In the present study, the severity of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI) and hypocalcemia (H) will be followed-up and the probable interrelation between them will be proposed considering the clinical situation of patients, e.g. improvement in hypocalcemia also make a positive effect on voice? (any objective sign? Ca? PTH?), return of voice is parallel with the improvement in hypocalcemia? Postoperative calcium (Ca), parathyroid hormone (PTH), regular vocal cord evaluations by ear-nose-throat (ENT) exams, deterioration-stability-improvement of clinical symptoms regarding both Ca metabolism and vocal cord function will be noted at regular intervals (postoperative day 1-3-first, weekly control/first month, monthly/first 6-month, 3-monthly/6-12 months) at outpatient controls. Serum Ca, PTH, ENT evaluation of vocal cords-noted.
In the outpatient clinic based population setting, the investigators want to reappraise the accuracy of the new model of multi-factorial ultrasound diagnosis with the conventional fine-needle aspiration cytology.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of using Tamsulosin for treatment of eyelid retraction as part of thyroid eye disease. The treatment will be offered to all thyroid patients suffering from eyelid retraction who are treated at the thyroid clinic in Sheba's Ophthalmology department. All patient will receive information about the drug Tamsulosin, the possible side effects, and the alternative treatment options for retraction. Patients recruited will take 0.4mg/day Tamsulosin for 3 months and will have follow-ups at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months to evaluate the retraction status.
Primary objective: The 3-years disease-free survival was compared between low-dose group (30 mCi) and high-dose group (100 mCi). Secondary objective: The successful remnant ablation, efficacy, 3-year progression-free survival and safety were compared between low-dose group (30 mCi) and high-dose group (100 mCi). Research Hypothesis：The 3-year disease-free survival of low-dose group (30mci) may not be lower than that of high-dose group (100 mci) in intermediate-risk thyroid papillary carcinoma patients with no structural or functional lesions and stimulated thyroglobulin(ps-Tg)1-20ng/ml. Study design：Single-center, randomized, double-blinded Sample size：254 patients Follow-up：The measurement of serum thyroid function, thyroglobulin/ anti-thyroglobulin antibody(Tg/TgAb) and neck ultrasonography were performed every 3-12 months during the 3 years according to patients' condition, and computerized tomography(CT) scan, positron emission tomography/computed tomography(PET/CT) and diagnostic whole-body 131I scan were added if necessary. Intervention：Randomly allocated into two groups to receive either 30 mCi (low-dose group) or 100 mCi (high-dose group ) radioiodine for post-thyroidectomy ablation therapy. Evaluation index：Primary evaluation index: The 3-year disease-free survival. Secondary evaluation index: Successful remnant ablation, efficacy, the 3-year progression-free survival and safety.
study assigned into three groups, Group I was the control group operated by total thyroidectomy and retrospectively followed, where the other two groups Operated by Total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection. Recurrence Free Survival (RFS) was the main issue of the study and calculated as the time from date of surgery to date of relapse or the most recent follow-up contact that patient was known as relapse-free, Study exclusively studied the outcome and advantage of central neck dissection
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant lenvatinib on surgical outcomes of patients with invasive extrathyroidal differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). This research study involves a study drug called lenvatinib
