(1) Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and its concentration were measured in thyroid tissues obtained from patients with Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, differentiated thyroid cancer, and endemic goiter (before and after iodine supplementation) as well as in normal thyroid tissue (paranodular tissue) from patients with follicular adenomas.

(3) Small oval cysts (less than or equal to 1 cm) with strong echo were all diagnosed colloid goiter.
(4) Levothyroxine therapy lowered the monoiodotyrosine and diiodotyrosine levels, ameliorated all her endocrinopathies, started her periods, and shrank the goiter.
(5) Rather, there was diffuse thyroidal hyperplasia of the micronodular variety, consistent with multinodular toxic goiter.
(6) The histological picture of the goiters was similar to that found in thiourea-treated teleosts and thiouracil-treated mammals.
(7) The data obtained suggest that the alkaline subfraction is characterized by an increased rigidity and apparently by altered structural properties in toxic goiter.
(8) The tumors included one goiter and one Hürthle cell adenoma, one lymphoma, one medullary carcinoma, two Hürthle cell cancers, and five papillary cancers, varying widely in clinical staging and histologic differentiation.
(9) The high incidence of goiter in older patients is probably due to insufficient iodine intake in youth.
(10) The increased functional activity of the endothelium, thinner walls of capillaries and the appearnace of a greater amount of fenestrations against the background of the thyroid stimulation are likely to be factors contributing to penetration of non-hormonal iodine products (iodine tyrosines and products of incomplete hydrolysis of thyroglobulins) into the circulation, which can be observed under certain pathological conditions accompanied by increased thyrotropic stimulation--such as diffused toxic goiter and diffuse non-toxic goiter.
(11) The long-term follow-up (up to 30 years) of the patients with reoperations for GATG recurrences, or subsequent development of a "goiter" has shown that GATG presented a metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer into the lateral lymph nodes of a neck.
(12) Of various possibilities analyzed, only a small goiter at the onset of therapy and tri-iodothyronine toxicosis were significantly favorable prognostic indicators that a remission would be maintained.
(13) Aim of this report is a stress of over-hasty classification to the surgical treatment of goiter diagnosed as hyperactive.
(14) Females of all ages had a higher prevalence of goiter than did males.
(15) To determine whether differences in TSH receptors could account for the differences in AC activity, we studied the 8000 g membrane particulate fraction from 28 thyroid tissues (10 papillary carcinomas, 6 multinodular goiters, 4 follicular adenomas, 3 follicular carcinomas, 2 Graves, 1 normal, 1 Hürthle cell adenoma, and 1 thyroiditis).
(16) The unusual case of a patient with goiter and left faciobrachiocrural paresis due to right temporoparietal infarction is reported.
(17) Iodine balance during pregnancy and lactation was investigated by measuring iodine concentration in the urine of 11 pregnant women, born and living in a moderately iodine deficient endemic goiter area in Northeastern Sicily, collected during the last week of pregnancy, and between the 5th and 7th day after delivery, and in their milk sampled simultaneously with the urine of their newborns.
(18) The child showed two types of signs : respiratory distress due to higher neurological disorders and a multinodular, non-compressing goiter.
(19) Benign disease was diagnosed in 345 patients (232 with benign nodular goiter, 98 with lymphocytic thyroiditis, three with granulomatous thyroiditis, and 12 with cysts).
(20) The knowledge of the anterior adjacent lamellae of the throat is very important for surgery of the goiter and parathyroid glands.
