Initially, participants with 1 or more discrete, palpable nodules or discrete dominant nodules in a multinodular gland were offered a fine-needle aspiration (FNA). However, it was soon recognized that the ultrasound examination occasionally identified nonpalpable nodules of appreciable size. Consequently...
Also, the thyroid gland is a possible site of high Cd concentration in the body because of cysteine-rich proteins, known as metallothioneins (MT) [13]. Thyroid hormones affected by Cd include the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and free thyroxine (fT4)...
Desiccated thyroid treats hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). It is also used to treat or prevent goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), and is also given as part of a medical tests for thyroid disorders.This medicine should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems....

Clinical relevance Low UICs as reported in this study, do not necessarily indicate inadequate iodine supply for maintaining metabolic processes, but may reflect increased iodine trapping by the thyroid gland as its iodine uptake can be as high as 80%.33,34 If iodine intake remains above a ...
[2]. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces an excess of thyroid hormone, while hyperthyroidism arises from insufficient production. Thyroid hormone plays a crucial role in human metabolism. The spectrum of thyroid cancer includes follicular thyroid cancer, papillary thyroid cancer, ...
