Long lasting effect of intramuscular iodine injection in the treatment of goiter in an intestinal failure patient with complete entero-colectomy. [PDF]
Abstract Individuals with intestinal failure are at risk of micronutrient deficiencies, including iodine, an essential trace element critical for thyroid hormone production. In patients entirely dependent on parenteral nutrition, options for replenishing and maintaining iodine levels are severely restricted as oral forms have limited absorption, and ...

Tracheomalacia in patients undergoing thyroid surgery-What is the true estimate: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Tracheomalacia is defined as the weakening of the tracheal rings secondary to long‐standing compression or inherent structural weakness, leading to stridor and airway compromise. The common etiological factor of tracheomalacia includes compression of the tracheal framework due to a large multinodular goiter.

Incidental Finding of Thyroid Tuberculosis by Operation for Graves' Disease: A Rare Case Presentation. [PDF]
Thyroid tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, even in endemic countries such as Morocco; its precise incidence is not well‐defined. The clinical presentation of thyroid tuberculosis can vary, often being asymptomatic. Consequently, the diagnosis may be overlooked or delayed.

Evaluation of the ultrasound findings of thyroid gland enlargement in Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Ghana: A retrospective cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aim Goiter is a major source of morbidity in the world, especially in the developing world, where dietary iodine deficiency, a known cause of this condition, is endemic. The diagnosis is mostly by ultrasonography (USG) scan, which can give anatomical, pathological, and functional information for the management of goiter.

Endemic Oscillations for SARS-CoV-2 Omicron -- A SIRS model analysis [PDF]
The SIRS model with constant vaccination and immunity waning rates is well known to show a transition from a disease-free to an endemic equilibrium as the basic reproduction number $r_0$ is raised above threshold. It is shown that this model maps to Hethcote's classic endemic model originally published in 1973. In this way one obtains unifying formulas
