Puzzling thyroid function test [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2017 A 13-½-year-old boy was referred to the Department of Endocrinology as a case of thyrotoxicosis for initiation of antithyroid medication. His chief complaint was a swelling in front of the neck, which was incidentally noted by his mother 2 weeks prior to presentation.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

Modeling differential rates of aging using routine laboratory data; Implications for morbidity and health care expenditure [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Aging is a multidimensional process where phenotypes change at varying rates. Longitudinal studies of aging typically involve following a cohort of individuals over the course of several years. This design is hindered by cost, attrition, and subsequently small sample size. Alternative methodologies are therefore warranted.

Bayesian dose-response analysis for epidemiological studies with complex uncertainty in dose estimation [PDF]
Stat Med. 2016 10;35(3):399-423, 2014 Most conventional risk analysis methods rely on a single best estimate of exposure per person which does not allow for adjustment for exposure-related uncertainty. Here, we propose a Bayesian model averaging method to properly quantify the relationship between radiation dose and disease outcomes by accounting for shared and unshared uncertainty in ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Studies on deep learning dose prediction increasingly focus on 3D models with multiple input channels and data augmentation, which increases the training time and thus also the environmental burden and hampers the ease of re‐training. Here we compare 2D and 3D U‐Net models with clinical accepted plans to evaluate the appropriateness of

Mantle cell lymphoma involving the thyroid gland
Clinical Case Reports, 2021 Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) rarely involves thyroid gland. Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) may be critical in identifying thyroid involvement by MCL and pursuing further work up of the suspicious thyroid lesions, irrespective of ...

Extracting Thyroid Nodules Characteristics from Ultrasound Reports Using Transformer-based Natural Language Processing Methods [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules guide the evaluation of thyroid cancer in patients with thyroid nodules. However, the characteristics of thyroid nodules are often documented in clinical narratives such as ultrasound reports. Previous studies have examined natural language processing (NLP) methods in extracting a limited number of ...

Triiodothyronine suppresses humoral immunity but not T-cell-mediated immune response in incubating female eiders (Somateria mollissima) [PDF]
Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 151 (2007) 188-194, 2007 Immunity is believed to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eiders (Somateria mollissima) is suppressed during the incubation fast.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Current radiotherapy practices rely on manual contouring of CT scans, which is time‐consuming, prone to variability, and requires highly trained experts. There is a need for more efficient and consistent contouring methods. This study evaluated the performance of the Varian Ethos AI auto‐contouring tool to assess its potential integration into
