Fetal iodine syndrome

This trial investigates whether placing a small piece of absorbable material (oxidized regenerated cellulose) over the nerves that control the voice box during total thyroidectomy can improve early voice quality. Thirty adults scheduled for thyroid surgery will be randomly assign…

This study looked at whether removing benign thyroid nodules without placing a surgical drain is safe and effective. Eighty adults having thyroid surgery were randomly assigned to either the standard drain or a no-drain, sutureless technique. The goal was to see if the no-drain a…

This study tested a new method called the 'Huaxi Tunnel Technique' to protect the recurrent laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery. The technique uses a diluted epinephrine solution injected along the nerve to create a protective tunnel, reducing the risk of injury. The trial inv…

This small study tested whether injecting a fluorescent dye called fluorescein sodium helps surgeons see nerves during head and neck surgery. Eight adults having open head or neck surgery received the dye through an IV. Surgeons then rated how well the glowing nerves matched stan…

This completed observational study at Uşak University examined 150 adults hospitalized in the endocrinology department. Researchers measured breathing, muscle strength, pain, fatigue, sleep quality, physical activity, balance, and nerve function. The goal was to better understand…

This study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…

This study tested whether a fast type of genetic test called rapid genome sequencing can find the cause of birth defects seen on ultrasound more quickly than current methods. Researchers included 184 pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings. The goal was to see if results cou…

This completed study collected extra blood samples from 28 adults with thyroid disorders to help standardize thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) tests. Different labs often use different tests, making it hard to compare results. By analyzing these samples, researchers hope to make …
