Ozturk Yasin , Arikan Senay , Kibar Yunus Ilyas , Tay Ahmet , Ayhan Mehmet Emin

Lingual thyroid is an abnormal formation appearing as the result of a deficient descent during embryological development of the thyroid gland through the thyroglossal duct to its normal pretracheal location, and it is a rare embryological aberration. A 19 years old woman was admitted to with foreign-body-feeling, dysphonia, hoarseness, constipation. Examination showed a spherical, red fleshy and smooth contoured mass rat back of the tongue. Thyroid scan with technetium 99 m re...

Urinary iodine excretion in Egyptian females with nodular goiter

Aziz Rokaya Abd El , Heshmat Tarek , Salam Randa

Introduction: Iodine is needed for the production of thyroid hormone. The prediction of iodine intake is difficult. The standard measure of iodine nutrition in a community is the median urinary iodine excretion, expressed in micrograms per liter. According to the WHO, a median urinary iodine excretion of 100199 μg/l indicates that the iodine intake is adequate.The aim of this work is to measure the iodine excretion in patients with thyroid nod...

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a simple, the most cost-effective, less invasive and a commonly used diagnostic tool for evaluating thyroid nodules. Recent times a tech-nique called fine-needle sampling non-aspiration (FNNA) or fine-needle capillary thyroid biopsies (FNC) has been more preferred. This technique prevents the use of suction so there is no aspiration crush and there-fore nondiagnostic outcomes are reduced. The aim of this prospective study was to co...

Kumagai Naoko , Honda Kazufumi , Sorimachi Erisa

Case presentation: A 40-year-old woman was admitted to the department of cardiology in our hospital due to iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in August 2010. It seemed that thrombosis was induced by the oral contraceptive (OC) which she had taken. Her serum level of von Willebrand factor was elevated. After the admission, the insertion of a temporary inferior venous cava (IVC) filter and thrombectomy were performed as well as starting of thrombolytic therapy and discontinu...

Increased serum TSH has been reported in obese children and adolescents and is considered an adaptive mechanism secondary to obesity. This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that this adaptation is not associated with obesity per se but with its related metabolic alterations. Using a cross-sectional approach, we collected retrospectively fasting serum TSH concentration (if within the normal range), anthropometric parameters and criteria for the diagnosis of t...

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) causes synthesis of 90% of pro-hormone tetraiodothyronine (T4) and 10% of active triiodothyronine (T3) from thyroid gland. T3 regulates energy metabolism, thermogenesis, body temperature and normal brain development.

Grave's disease as an adverse effect of ipilimumab: first description of two cases

Ipilimumab is an immunomodulating agent for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Ipilimumab is a human mAb which works by inhibiting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4).CTLA4 typically works to down-regulate the T-cell response and protects self-antigens from recognition by the immune system. Since the T-cells are no longer down-regulated by this antigen, they are allowed to proliferate, thereby helping to prevent melanoma tumor evasion. As a resu...

Thyroid volume in adult β-thalassemic patients is smaller than in controls

Ansaloni Anna , Diazzi Chiara , Santi Daniele , Brigante Giulia , Ferrara Francesca , Pietrangelo Antonello , Rochira Vincenzo

Introduction: Thyroid function is commonly impaired in β-thalassemic patients with an estimated prevalence of hypothyroidism of 911%. According to literature, iron overload is the main cause of tissue damage involving both thyroid and pituitary gland, thus leading to primary or secondary hypothyroidism respectively. However, thyroid morphology has been rarely investigated in adults. The aim of this study is to evaluate thyroid volume (TV) and thyroid morphology in &...

Introduction: Decreased function of the thyroid axis during aging is associated with a better functional performance and longer survival. This phenomenon can be a result not only of a lower production of thyroid hormones including bioavailable triiodothyronine, but also of age-associated alterations regarding triiodothyronine receptors.Methods: Functional studies regarding interaction between the 3′UTR of TRβ1 mRNA and in silico-ident...

Background: Clinical evaluation of Graves orbitopathy (GO) is often insufficient. Frequently it is difficult to decide whether a case of GO is active, or to detect the degree of severity. STIR sequence MRI suppresses signal from fat and thus in the orbits can also detect active inflammation and oedema of extra-ocular muscles (EOMs). The aim of the present study is to examine whether imaging of rectus EOMs with STIR MRI could provide additional information for the activit...

Involvement of Lat2 in the transport of 3,3′-T2 across the plasma membrane and first structural insights into transport mechanisms by homology model generation

Kinne Anita , Hinz Katrin , Wittner Melanie , Krause Gerd

Thyroid hormones (THs) are transported into their target cells by diverse transmembrane transporter proteins, e.g. by members of the L-type amino acid transporter (LAT) family. The Lat2 is a sodium independent amino acid exchanger and interacts with CD98 for its efficient cell surface expression. So far the role of Lat2 in TH transport including the transport mechanisms is unclear. It is important to determine TH subtype specificity and to identify amino acids at Lat2 which ar...
