Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2011 A thyroid panel consisting of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (fT4) should form the first line of diagnostic tests; tri-iodothyronine (T3) — total or free may be needed occasionally. A TSH assay capable of detecting levels below 0.02mIU/L is required to differentiate the suppressed TSH levels typical in Graves' disease from ...

Diazepam and Tests of Thyroid Function [PDF]
BMJ, 1971 The effect of diazepam on thyroid function tests was examined in 12 euthyroid patients requiring the drug for psychiatric reasons and in six patients with thyrotoxicosis. Assessment was made before and after four weeks' therapy.There was no significant difference in results from tests of thyroid iodide trapping and binding (thyroid radioiodine uptake ...

Thyroid Function Tests in the Newborn [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1970 The 131 I triiodothyronine (T 3 ) resin uptake test reflects thyroid function more closely than other acceptable tests currently available. The T 3 uptake and protein-bound iodine (PBI) level were estimated in 20 premature and 20 full-term infants at birth and at the end of 1 week. The full-term infant has normal adult values, whereas the premature

An anthropomorphic thyroid phantom for ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of nodules [PDF]
Med Phys. 2023, 2023 Background: Needle-based procedures such as fine needle aspiration (FNA) and thermal ablation, are often applied for thyroid nodule diagnosis and therapeutic purposes, respectively. With blood vessels and nerves nearby, these procedures can pose risks in damaging surrounding critical structures.

Multistep Automated Data Labelling Procedure (MADLaP) for Thyroid Nodules on Ultrasound: An Artificial Intelligence Approach for Automating Image Annotation [PDF]
, 2022 Machine learning (ML) for diagnosis of thyroid nodules on ultrasound is an active area of research. However, ML tools require large, well-labelled datasets, the curation of which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The purpose of our study was to develop and test a deep-learning-based tool to facilitate and automate the data annotation process for ...

Deep Learning for Classification of Thyroid Nodules on Ultrasound: Validation on an Independent Dataset [PDF]
, 2022 Objectives: The purpose is to apply a previously validated deep learning algorithm to a new thyroid nodule ultrasound image dataset and compare its performances with radiologists. Methods: Prior study presented an algorithm which is able to detect thyroid nodules and then make malignancy classifications with two ultrasound images.

Shape-Margin Knowledge Augmented Network for Thyroid Nodule Segmentation and Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Thyroid nodule segmentation is a crucial step in the diagnostic procedure of physicians and computer-aided diagnosis systems. Mostly, current studies treat segmentation and diagnosis as independent tasks without considering the correlation between these tasks. The sequence steps of these independent tasks in computer-aided diagnosis systems may lead to

Expert System Based On Neural-Fuzzy Rules for Thyroid Diseases Diagnosis [PDF]
, 2014 The thyroid, an endocrine gland that secretes hormones in the blood, circulates its products to all tissues of the body, where they control vital functions in every cell. Normal levels of thyroid hormone help the brain, heart, intestines, muscles and reproductive system function normally.

Prevalence and Major Risk Factors of Non-communicable Diseases: A Machine Learning based Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objective: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of several non-communicable diseases (NCD) and analyze risk factors among adult patients seeking nutritional guidance in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Result: Our study observed the relationships between gender, age groups, obesity, and NCDs (DM, CKD, IBS, CVD, CRD, thyroid).

Comparative approaches to understanding thyroid hormone regulation of neurogenesis [PDF]
, 2019 Thyroid hormone (TH) signalling, an evolutionary conserved pathway, is crucial for brain function and cognition throughout life, from early development to ageing. In humans, TH deficiency during pregnancy alters offspring brain development, increasing the risk of cognitive disorders.
