Filter by:Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) by fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to assisted the precision treatment. Methods:A total of 290 patients who underwent thyroidectomies or thyroid lobectomies from August 2015 to September 2020, following a diagnosis of Bethesda category III (AUS/FLUS) from preoperative thyroid FNA were investigated. Groups: In order to investigate the clinopathologic characteristics, the patients, were grouped according to Cytology,Gender, Tumor size.
This study aimed to identify the potential circulating biomarkers of protein, mRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to diļ¬erentiate the papillary thyroid cancers from benign thyroid tumors. Methods: The study population of 100 patients was classified into identification (10 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 10 patients with benign thyroid tumors) and validation groups (45 patients with papillary thyroid cancers and 35 patients with benign thyroid tumors). The Sengenics Immunome Protein Array combined data mining approach using the Open Targets Platform was used to identify the putative protein biomarkers, and their expression validated using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Next-generation sequencing by Illumina HiSeq was used for the detection of dysregulated mRNAs and lncRNAs. The website Timer v2.0 helped identify the putative mRNA biomarkers, which were significantly over-expressed in papillary thyroid cancers than in adjacent normal thyroid tissue. The mRNA and lncRNAs biomarker expression was validated by a real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The overall objective is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TEPEZZA® in participants with chronic (inactive) TED (thyroid eye disease). Approximately 57 participants will be enrolled. There will be a treatment period (through Week 24) and a follow up period (where TEPEZZA will not be infused).
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the quality of recovery with topical lidocaine is better than placebo.
Retrospective comparative study comparing group 1 (TSH level 0.1-1.99 mIU/L) and group 2 (TSH level 2.0-4 mIU/L). Each group was further subdivided into primigravidae and multipara. 1527 pregnant women were included.
This pilot project will randomize a small sample of patients about to undergo surgery for their autoimmune, inflammatory thyroid disease, and determine if a short course of prednisone alters the inflammation of the gland and makes surgery less difficult. It will enroll 30 participants who will each be on study for up to 7 months.
The relationship between healthy eating index and maternal thyroid volume in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum is planned.
Thyroid disease is a common endocrine disorder. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs on the oral mucosa in 1-2% of the general population.The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between thyroid disease and oral planus lichen in the population of our patients. In the last few years, a couple of studies have been published in the world literature that have studied the possible association of these diagnoses in different populations. Most of the results showed a higher prevalence of thyroid disease in the population of lichen patients, compared with patients without lichen, although some results are contradictory. Some authors believe that the onset of OLP precedes thyroid dysfunction. In the population of Croatian patients with lichen, no research has been done to study the possible connection between these two diseases. The obtained results could help clarify whether there is a connection between these two diagnoses in the population of our lichen patients and enable earlier detection of patients with thyroid hypofunction.
Background After diagnosing well-differentiated thyroid cancer (WDTC), careful assessment of the risk for disease-specific recurrence is essential for deciding between partial (low risk) and completion (high risk) thyroidectomies. Patients' preoperatively determined risk levels are re-stratified according to surgical and final histopathological findings. The American Thyroid Association 2015 guidelines suggest that patients with WDTC between 1-4 cm in size and without suspicious features may be suitable candidates for partial thyroidectomy. The incidence and clinical implications of high-risk features discovered postoperatively in patients with preoperatively determined low-risk WDTC have not been previously reported. Methods All thyroidectomies performed between 2006-2018 in the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center were included. Pre- and postoperative risk stratifications were performed, and the rate of completion thyroidectomy was determined. Patients with 1-4 cm WDTC without evidence of positive cervical lymph nodes, invasion to adjacent structures, or high-risk cytology were considered at low risk for disease-specific recurrence and therefore suitable for lobectomy.
The investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 760 patients with thyroid nodule biopsy and 88 patients who had thyroid surgery. The investigators evaluated patients' thyroid ultrasonography reports and determined Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System scores (TIRADS score: 1-Benign, 2- very low malignant) risk, 3-low risk, 4-medium risk, 5 -malignant high risk). The investigators evaluated patients 'existing thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) reports and recorded the patients' cytology results (benign, malignant). Documents of 88 patients who were included in the study and who underwent thyroidectomy were reviewed.Pathology reports of these patients were evaluated and surgical pathology was determined as benign in 58 patients and malignant in 30 patients. Then, a statistical study was performed between the cor needle biopsy (CNB) results of these participants and the surgical pathology and TI-RADS scores.
