Active clinical trials for "Thyroid Diseases"

Patients over the age of 18 with thyroid nodules scheduled for surgery will undergo EIS scan. Each node will be scanned and graded form 1-5 (1=benign, 5=malignant). Results will be compared with final histopathology.

The aim of this study is to identify which ultrasonographic feature or a combination of features is the best predictor of thyroid cancer in thyroid nodules.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between prognosis and fine needle aspiration cytology character of papillary thyroid cancer.

In this study, patients are prospectively followed after radioiodine treatment to assess the relationship between thyroid status and their quality of life after thyroid ablative treatment. A third treatment arm after surgery has been stopped, as deemed currently not feasible to achieve its target.

The endoscopic thyroidectomy approach is gaining popularity in the surgical field. This registry tries to collect the outcomes including quality of life and complication for both endoscopic and conventional thyroidectomy methods.

Although it is now recognized that a variety of respiratory abnormalities, such as diaphragmatic dysfunction, can be present in primary hypothyroidism and reverse with adequate hormone treatment, the role of thyroid hormone replacement therapy on respiratory system in patients with the nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) remains to be clarified. The NTIS has been found to be an independent risk factor for prolonged (> 13 days) mechanical ventilation. It is unclear, however, whether the NTIS is only a biochemical prognostic marker or it actually contributes to the development and progression of respiratory failure. The aim of this study will be to assess respiratory muscle function after thyroid hormone substitution therapy in mechanically ventilated patients with the NTIS.

This study was conducted to analyze the role of TSH level and TPOAb status in early pregnancy and use this information in assessment of the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus at different weeks of gestation when the FT4 level is normal.

In a large prospective cross-sectional study, the investigators aimed to identify the determinants of thyroid surgery outcomes and quantify the relative influence of preoperative and intraoperative factors. For this purpose, the investigators considered the interplay of several characteristics specific to surgeons, patients, and surgical procedures.

To obtain up-to-date data on nutrient intakes in adults, a national dietary survey - the EU Menu study will be conducted during 12 consecutive months in 2017/2018, providing data on the consumption of foods and enabling the assessment of energy and macronutrient intakes. Participating subjects will be invited to NUTRIHEALTH study for assessment for micronutrient status (focusing into vitamin D, folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron) and medical examination, in which thyroid size will be aslo measured, to investigated thyroid epidemiology in Slovenia.

This study evaluates the usefulness of molecular classifier to aid the diagnosis of malignancy in the material obtained by fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodule. All participants will undergo FNAB with routine cytological assessment and molecular testing. Patients will undergo surgery or be followed-up, according to the clinical guidelines. The diagnostic power of combined molecular/clinical classifier will be compared to prediction based on clinical features only, by investigators blinded to the final diagnosis of surgical assessment.
