Background and aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate real-time elastography (RTE) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound with Sonovue (CEUS) for the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules using cytologic/histologic analysis as reference method. While first studies have reported excellent results of RTE for the differentiation of thyroid nodules, data on CEUS of the thyroid are rare.Methods: RTE was classified as: score 1=soft, 2=p...

Background: Previously, we reported an association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) risk. The aim of the present study was to investigate other vitamin D pathway genes such as CYP27B1, CYP2R1 and CYP24A1 which code for enzymes that, respectively, synthesize and degrade 1,25(OH)2D3 in patients with DTC and healthy controls (HC). Also its influence on 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 ...
