Filter by:Thyroid disorders are one of the most common endocrine problems in children and adolescents. Diagnostic considerations can be approached from the perspective of the goiter.A goiter, or thyromegaly, is an enlargement of the thyroid gland.Persons with enlarged thyroids can have normal function of the gland (euthyroidism), thyroid deficiency (hypothyroidism), or overproduction of the hormones (hyperthyroidism).
Regular thyroid diagnostics versus augmented thyroid work-up with additional I-124 PET/US fusion for metabolic-sonographic nodule allocation in patients with benign thyroid diseases
The investigators aimed at investigating the effects of thyroidectomy on tracheal anatomy and airflow in patients with benign nodular goiter, employing a prospective observational study. Magnetic resonance images of the neck and respiratory flow-volume curves were performed prior to and six months following surgery. Tracheal and thyroid volumes, smallest cross-sectional area of the trachea (SCAT), tracheal narrowing, tracheal deviation and tracheal encirclement by the thyroid were evaluated. Through flow-volume curves respiratory function, including both in- and expiration, was evaluated.
The aim of this study is evaluate the effects of telephone teleconsultations to primary care physicians (compared to the state's referral protocol) in the referrals waiting list for endocrinological appointments.
The aim is to investigate the influence of surgical treatment on benign non-toxic goiter on the disease specific quality of life evaluated 6 months after thyroid surgery. All investigations follow already scheduled treatments.
The aim of the study is to investigate the influence benign non-toxic goitre and the surgical treatment hereof on the voice function before and 6 months following surgery.
1. To elucidate the therapeutic role of levothyroxine on the patient with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) goiter, we would design a prospective, open label and non-randomized trial to verify the therapeutic effects on goiter with AUS by means of TSH (Thyrotropin; Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) suppression related reduction of goiter volume with subsequent alleviation of previous cytological malignant tendency. During following for 1-2 years after therapy with simultaneous monitor of possible adverse effects of levothyroxine (eltroxin), we collected blood samples and gathered all necessary data as well as performed thyroid sonography with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for the subjects. Furthermore, we would finish our individual study for each enrolled subject if his/her condition exhibited the criteria of primary end point: reduced goiter volume under sono >15% or cytology: benign for 2 times; operation for thyroidectomy, CAD attack, refractory arrhythmia, newly DM (Diabetes Mellitus), etc. 2. To re-evaluate the current prevalence of goiter within Taiwanese adults, we recruited all patients who presented possible thyroid related symptoms, such as unexplained body weight loss with increased appetite, palpitation, hand tremors, neck swelling, hoarseness and abnormal sensation over throat. Only the patients with goiter proven by thyroid sono in euthyroid status without other preexisting major disorders can be enrolled in our trial to undergo open label, non-randomized study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of normal parathyroid tissue reimplantation in forearm subcutaneous tissue in case of accidental removal of parathyroid gland during thyroid surgery.
Bipolar sealing and cutting devices such as EnSeal® G2 Tissue Sealer are surgical instruments that use electrical powered diathermic energy to seal and transect tissue. These devices have shown high efficiency in a wide variety of open and laparoscopic general and gynecological surgical procedures. The surgical performance of the EnSeal® has shown to be comparable to that of ultrasonic cutting devices in several studies. However, the efficacy of this instrument and in particular of new instruments such as the EnSeal® G2 Tissue Sealer has not been evaluated in thyroid surgery. Our primary aim is to verify whether the EnSeal® performance is superior to the standard surgical technique for thyroidectomy in a randomized clinical trial on 2 different institutions.
To assess the pain relief and the hemodynamic stability of ropivacaine with epinephrine in BABA endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy.
