Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of glutamine on oxidative injury caused by abdominal hypertension in rats.
- Glutamine administration reduced markers of oxidative stress (MDA and MPO levels) and increased antioxidant levels (GSH) compared to the control group.
- The findings suggest that glutamine has protective properties against oxidative damage through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Background: Although total thyroidectomy is the procedure of choice in patients with thyroid carcinoma, this surgical approach has emerged as a surgical option to treat patients with benign multinodular goiter (BMNG), especially in endemically iodine-deficient regions. The aim of this study was to review our experience with patients with BMNG in an endemically iodine-deficient region treated by either subtotal or total/near-total thyroidectomy, and to document whether total or near-total thyroidectomy decreased the rate of completion thyroidectomy for incidentally diagnosed thyroid carcinoma in comparison to the patients with BMNG treated initially by subtotal thyroidectomy.
Methods: Two thousand five hundred ninety-two patients with BMNG were included.
