  2. 21. Immunological aspects of papillary thyroid carcinoma

    Author : Steven D. Lucas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Papillary thyroid carcinoma; immunology; tumor antigens; RET proto-oncogene; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is a puzzling disease. Although approximately 70% of patients with PTC have regional lymph node metastases at initial surgery, the long term survival is over 95%. READ MORE

  5. 23. Aspects of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis in children and adolescents

    Author : Johan Svensson; Pediatrisk endokrinologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adolescents; thyroid autoantibodies; enterovirus infection; thyroid ultrasonography; reference standard; goiter; chronic autoimmune thyroiditis; levothyroxine treatment; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; children;

    Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to 1) compare different methods for detection of antibodies against thyroglobulin (TgAb) and thyroid peroxidase (TPOAb), particulary in children with chronic autoimmune thyroditis (AIT), 2) investigate if maternal enterovirus infection is a risk factor for development of AIT in offspring, 3) ascertain the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in cord blood sera from children who later developed AIT, 4) develop a new reference standard for interpretation of normative thyroid volumes in Swedish children, and 5) evaluate the effect of Levothyroxine (L-thyroxine) treatment on thyroid size in children and adolescents with AIT. We found that 1) Methods based on radioimmunoassay (RIA) were more efficient in detecting both TgAb and TPOAb in children with AIT than methods based on agglutination. READ MORE

  6. 24. In vitro studies on the mechanisms of inhibited thyroidal iodide uptake and destructive thyroiditis as adverse effects of amiodarone and interferon-gamma

    Author : Sofia Tedelind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : thyroid; amiodarone; interferon-gamma; iodide transport; tight junction; mitochondria; endocytosis;

    Abstract : The clinical use of the potent anti-arrhythmic drug amiodarone is limited due to adverse effects e.g. in the thyroid comprising both hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Amiodarone-induced thyroid dysfunction can occur in subjects with normal thyroid glands but also in those with an underlying thyroid abnormality resulting in an aggravation of the condition.

  7. 25. Long-term radiobiological effects of 131I exposure - dose, age and time related transcriptomatic and proteomic rasponse in rats

    Author : Malin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiation; thyroid; plasma; late effects; biomarkers; transcript; protein;

    Abstract : 131I is commonly used in the clinic for treating thyroid diseases, using the physiological uptake of iodine in thyroid, but also for other target tissues. 131I is also commonly released during nuclear accidents. READ MORE
