Purpose: It has been suggested, on a theoretical basis, that ultrasound screening of thyroid nodules in obese patients with additional risk factors (family history, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis or high thyrotropin) might be cost-effective for the early detection and treatment of thyroid cancer. The present study evaluates if this approach can be validated in a real clinical setting.
Methods: Patients with obesity who attended hospital-based clinics were evaluated for risk factors of thyroid cancer and ultrasound screened for thyroid nodularity.
Aims: To evaluate the health-related use of Web 2.0 tools by patients with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey assessing views and usage of the Internet, Apps and Web 2.
Introduction: Worldwide incidence of thyroid cancer has increased in recent decades.
Objective: To provide evidence of the diagnostic and care efficiency of a monographic thyroid nodule clinic integrating clinical examination, ultrasound examination, and cytology with on site evaluation.
Patients And Methods: Patients attending the monographic thyroid nodule clinic from January 2004 to June 2010.
Unlabelled: The standard treatment of hypothyroidism (central and primary) consists of thyroxine (T4) administration alone. However, the normal thyroid gland produces a small proportion of triiodothyronine (T3) directly into the circulation.
Aim: We aimed to study the free T3 to free T4 ratio in treated central hypothyroidism compared with euthyroidism and treated primary hypothyroidism.
