Filter by:The investigational drug, VRDN-001, is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits the activity of a cell surface receptor called insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R may help to reduce the inflammation and associated tissue swelling that occurs in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VRDN-001 in patients with TED.
Thyroid diseases constitute one of the most common health problems around the world and in our country. In its treatment; Drug therapy, radioactive iodine therapy and surgical treatment can be applied alone or together. Advances in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases have led to an increase in the number of thyroidectomies. When there are no complications after thyroidectomy, patients are discharged from the hospital on the day of surgery or are hospitalized for only a few days. In this context, since technical care is given priority, discharge training remains incomplete. Patients who have had thyroidectomy are discharged within 1-2 days after surgery if no problems occur. For this reason, patient education provided by health professionals and especially nurses may be insufficient. Post-discharge patient education in surgical services can sometimes be ignored, and it is noteworthy that this situation is not given importance due to the busy nature of surgical services. Although short hospital stays after surgery are beneficial in many ways, it increases the need for patient education. In this study, a mobile application that covers the entire perioperative process and includes education will be developed for patients undergoing thyroidectomy. This developed mobile application aims to manage post-operative problems such as neck pain and discomfort and voice changes experienced by patients, and to improve post-operative recovery, voice quality and, accordingly, quality of life. In this context, it is believed that even in cases where patients cannot access health care professionals, their educational needs will be met, problem management will be provided with applications for the problems they experience, and accordingly, their post-operative recovery, voice and quality of life will increase, starting from the hospital before the surgery until the end of the recovery period, including the home care process after discharge.When the literature on the subject is examined, studies involving education in patients with thyroidectomy are limited. However, no studies have been found on mobile health applications that include training to reduce neck pain and discomfort experienced by thyroidectomy patients, ensure postoperative recovery, and improve voice quality and quality of life.
This Study is focused on the interaction between resting metabolic rate (RMR), physical activity (PA), and thyroid hormones (TH). TH controls almost all the cell activities of the body so, it is known as one of the major regulatory hormones. This is the reason for individuals who suffer from thyroid disorders show abnormal metabolism. Recently it was suggested that interindividual variations in thyroid hormone levels also influence daily physical activity.
This is a pilot, single-center, prospective, open-label clinical investigation of a medical device (ambulatory gamma camera " MoTI " (Mobile Therapy Imager)) for patients with hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic nodule and toxic multiheteronodular goiter) for whom 131I treatment is indicated. Its aim is to assess the feasibility of using this ambulatory gamma camera (MoTI) in the clinic in this patient population. The camera will be used to measure the 131I uptake/fixation rates during the thyroid scintigraphy. 20 patients will be included in the study.

Thyroid dysfunction in major psychiatric disorders in psychiatric patients admitted to psychiatric unit of assiut university hospital
This study is a retrospective study trying to find the predictive factors for medullary thyroid aggressiveness in terms of tumor metastasis and patients' survival.
1. To identify the prevalence of both anxiety and depression in thyroid cancer patients 2. To assess quality of life in thyroid cancer patients
This study is an observational cohort study targeting patients with low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer who opted for active surveillance or immediate surgery based on a sufficient understanding of the treatment options. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate progression free survival of the patients with low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer who choose active surveillance, in other words, to observe the natural course of low-risk Papillary thyroid cancer.
