and I recommend that everyone with Hashimoto’s or thyroid disease get at least one ultrasound in their lifetime, especially women of childbearing age. If thyroid nodules are found, then I recommend having an annual ultrasound
The aim of this study was to determine whether patients who had molecular testing in Bethesda V and VI thyroid nodules had the optimal extent of surgery performed more often than patients who did not have molecular testing performed. Methods A retrospective chart review of 122 cases was performed...
The accuracy of diagnostic procedures for thyroid nodules has improved over the last few years, and the ease of access to such diagnostic modalities may be the reason for the higher prevalence of thyroid tumors. However, the exact cause of this increase is still debated. As we have observed ...
The current primary initial diagnostic method is ultrasound examination, while percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy (PFNA) is gold standard to distinguish benignant and malignancy-correlated thyroid nodules [4]. However, PFNA is overly dependent on the diagnosis level of pathologists and greatly ...

This goiter was characterized by increased size of thyroid follicles and absence of thyroid nodules or hyperplasia [20]. In contrast to mice lacking Nrf2 in the thyroid, which showed no differences in plasma TSH or thyroid hormone levels [17], Keap1KD mice showed decreased T4 levels with no ...
