Thyroid hormones play vital roles in fetal brain development. Mutations in MCT8, recently recognised as a specific thyroid hormone transporter, define a novel syndrome of severe X-linked psychomotor retardation and thyroid hormone resistance.N-TERA-2 (NT2) cells (human embryonal cells with characteristics of CNS precursors) were transiently transfected with either WT MCT8 or its L471P, R271H or S448X mutations, described in males affected by severe psych...

Aim: In this study we have compared the adequacy rates of FNA samples between more experienced and less experienced operators in thyroid FNA.Introduction: The prevalence of thyroid nodules is estimated to be about 47%, increasing up to 50% in the adult population. US guided FNA has become the preliminary investigation of choice for thyroid nodules, as it is widely available and has been proven to increase diagnostic efficacy....
