A comparative epidemiological and anthropometric survey was conducted among Ibans, the largest indigenous ethnic group in Sarawak, in three regions where the endemicity of goitre exhibited marked differences , to assess the effect of endemic goitre on somatic growth. In the Ai river region the
Previously we described sedimentation and immunologic abnormalities of thyroglobulin (Tg) in a strain of mice with inherited congenital goiter and hypothyroidism (cog/cog). The goals of the present study were to determine the extent to which thyroid gland stimulation by TSH accounts for the abnormal
The thyroids of two brothers aged 13 and 15 with congenital goitre, butanolinsoluble iodine in blood and which had pronounced decrease of immunoreactive thyroglobulin content in the thyroid were studied. Two types of thyroglobulin were identified. The first amounted to only about 200-300 mug/g wet
The thyroid proteins and iodocompounds were analysed in the thyroid tissue of 4 patients with nontoxic goitre. Subtotal thyroidectomy was performed for tracheal compression. The thyroid components were labelled with a trace amount of 125I before operation. One patient had congenital goitre and
We report herein the study of two siblings (DESM and DSM) with hypothyroidism, goiter, and positive perchlorate discharge tests (50% and 70%) in a family (M) with no history of consanguinity. Thyroid gland histology showed a predominance of hyperactive follicles, with high epithelial cells and
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between preoperative serum levels of vitamin D and postoperative hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy.
METHODS
A prospective observational study was conducted on 113 patients treated by total thyroidectomy due to benign disease.
In patients suffering from diffuse toxic goiter, hypothyrosis and nephrotic syndrome changes in dynamics of treatment are found in the albumin molecule by means of the isoelectric focusing in the borate-polyol system and spectropolarimetry. The changes consist in an increased content of the albumin
To investigate the pathogenesis of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia calcium, phosphate, calcitonin, parathormone, albumin, triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels were monitored during operation and postoperatively in 25 female patients undergoing bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy for non-toxic nodular
Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH) has now become an established cause for spurious asymptomatic hyperthyroxinemia. Several different codon mutations on albumin gene had been identified. We here provided an established but rarely reported heterozygous mutation based on A recessive autosomal mutation (cog) in mice that results in congenital goiter was recently described. Since the mutation has been linked to the thyroglobulin (TG) gene, we have studied the immunological and physical properties of TG in cog/cog mice. +/Cog mice, which are phenotypically normal, were
Seven subjects belonging to three families (ME, MA, MO), with congenital goiter and various degrees of thyroid hypofunction, were investigated from the standpoints of clinical, biochemical, and molecular biology. In two of these families (ME, MA), 6 individuals had low serum levels of Tg-related
Inherited defects of thyroglobulin synthesis resulting in congenital goiter are well described in certain breeds of domestic ungulates and in human beings. Goiter associated with synthesis of an abnormal thyroglobulin and the presence of thyroidal albumin was identified in five closely related bongo
