    The onset of systemic lupus erythematosus and thyroid dysfunction following Graves’ disease – A case report and literature review.
    Srp Arh Celok Lek 2016 Nov-Dec;144(11-12):639-44
    Introduction: Graves’ disease is a multifactorial autoimmune thyroid disease, with the presence of typical circulating autoantibodies that can activate the thyroid hormone receptors, resulting in hyperthyroidism, goiter, and ophthalmopathy. Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-systemic autoimmune disease that involves almost all the organs of the human body and is characterized by autoantibodies formation. Several studies have reported that autoimmune thyroid and rheumatic disorders can present an unusual relationship. Read More

    Diagnostic utility of DREAM gene mRNA levels in thyroid tumours.
    Arch Endocrinol Metab 2018 Apr 5. Epub 2018 Apr 5.
    Laboratório de Genética Molecular do Câncer (Gemoca), Faculdade de Ciências Médicas (FCM), Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), Campinas, SP, Brasil.
    Objective: The transcriptional repressor DREAM is involved in thyroid-specific gene expression, thyroid enlargement and nodular development, but its clinical utility is still uncertain. In this study we aimed to investigate whether DREAM mRNA levels differ in different thyroid tumors and how this possible difference would allow the use of DREAM gene expression as molecular marker for diagnostic and/or prognosis purpose.

    Materials And Methods: We quantified DREAM gene mRNA levels and investigated its mutational status, relating its expression and genetic changes to diagnostic and prognostic features of 200 thyroid tumors, being 101 malignant [99 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) and 2 anaplastic thyroid carcinomas] and 99 benign thyroid lesions [49 goiter and 50 follicular adenomas (FA)].

    Klinik für Chirurgie, Landesklinikum Wiener Neustadt, Wien, Österreich.
    Background: More than 10 years ago various research groups in Germany first reported the possibility of transoral surgery of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. These were developed and evaluated within the framework of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). While development of these innovative and new techniques that enabled surgery without visible scars did not become well accepted in Europe and America, it led to an optimized transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA), which was implemented particularly in Asia.

    The impact of surgery on quality of life, esophageal motility, and tracheal anatomy and airflow in patients with benign nodular goiter.
    Dan Med J 2018 Apr;65(4)
    Surgery - is it any good for goiter? In patients with goiter the benefits of thyroid surgery have previously rarely been investigated, as only few alternatives existed. However, the increasing evidence of the advantages with non-surgical substitutes with lower costs and preferable risk profiles prompted us to investi-gate the evidence base for thyroid surgery thoroughly. This thesis consists of three published studies investigating the impact of thyroidectomy on: 1) changes in disease-specific quality of life, 2) swallowing symptoms and esophageal motility, and 3) tracheal anatomy and airflow, in a cohort of patients with benign nodular goiter.

    Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, 200 First Street SW, Rochester, MN. Electronic address:
    Rationale And Objectives: Low specificity of traditional ultrasound in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid nodules leads to a great number of unnecessary (ie, benign) fine-needle aspiration biopsies that causes a significant financial and physical burden to the patients. Ultrasound shear wave elastography is a technology capable of providing additional information related to the stiffness of tissues.
