thyroid nodule/アルブミン

Thyroid cancer is the most rapidly increasing cancer type among women and the second among men. Early detection greatly improves the prognosis. For this purpose, the platelet distribution width (PDW), an early indicator of platelet activation, might be useful. The aim of this study was to

There are number of different peptides and antibodies that have been labelled with Lutetium -177 and have been used in imaging and treatment for clinical usage. To our knowlodge, Lutetium-177 has never been labelled with MAA before. There was special effort exerted in the radiopharmacy laboratory of

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for the treatment of hyperthyroidism caused by bilateral hyperplastic thyroid nodules in cats. DESIGN; Prospective study. METHODS 7 cats. METHODS Hyperthyroidism was diagnosed on the basis of clinical signs and

We report a case of a 61-year-old man who had recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma admitted for series evaluation before Y selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT). Intra-arterial hepatic Tc macroaggregated albumin scan before Y-SIRT revealed a 2.7-cm incidental low-density thyroid nodule with hot

Background: Approximately 20% of the thyroid biopsies render an indeterminate (ID) cytology. We evaluated the diagnostic value of preoperative modified systemic inflammation score (mSIS) in predicting the malignancy of ID thyroid nodules

Current standard practice for radioembolization treatment planning makes use of nuclear medicine imaging (NMI) of (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin ((99m)Tc-MAA) arterial distributions for the assessment of lung shunting and extrahepatic uptake. Our aim was to retrospectively compare NMI with mapping

Introduction. There are reported associations between vitamin D deficiency and breast, prostate, and colon cancer, but the relationship in thyroid cancer has not been evaluated. Methods. We evaluated serum calcium, creatinine, albumin, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH-D) in 42 thyroid nodule, 45

UNASSIGNED The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and thyroid diseases among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. UNASSIGNED This was a cohort case and control study, 546 T2DM patients and 546 control study participants were enrolled, aged between

BACKGROUND Medullary thyroid cancer is a rare carcinoma. Surgery is the only curative treatment and since cervical lymphnodes metastases are frequent and can occur at an early stage, a standardized central lymphnode dissection is associated to total thyroidectomy. However, the extent of

We report a 59-year-old man with a history of hypertension, recurrent renal stones and a severe hypercalcemia of 14.9 mg/dl with a serum phosphorus of 2.4 mg/dl and a serum albumin of 3.6 g/dl. Physical examination showed a 4 cm left cervical nodule, consistent with the diagnosis of thyroid nodule.

BACKGROUND Clinical cases of nonmedullary thyroid carcinoma (NMTC) in combination with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have been reported occasionally. However, the clinical characteristics and risk factors of concomitant NMTC in PHPT patients remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the

There are various changes in the thyroid gland and its function in chronic renal failure (CRF). These changes include lower levels of circulating thyroid hormone, altered peripheral hormone metabolism, decreased binding to carrier proteins, possible reduction in tissue hormone content, and increased

OBJECTIVE To evaluate two variables affecting Thyroglobulin stability in the washout of fine needle aspiration biopsies of thyroid nodules and metastatic lymph nodes. METHODS Thyroglobulin stability after storage at -20 °C up to 14 days was studied in washout performed with normal saline solution

OBJECTIVE Measurement of thyroglobulin in the washout of lymph node (LN) fine needle aspirates is recommended in the follow-up of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The significance of low fine needle aspirates thyroglobin (FNATg) levels remains a question, which we

Introduction Prior research has shown an association between breast and thyroid cancer although their relationship is unclear. In China, asymptomatic women undergoing regular health check-ups usually undergo breast and thyroid ultrasonography screening. The present cross-sectional ultrasound-based
