However, because the cohort size of all subgroups was substantial (n > 30) we were able to calculate differences in means (SD) of thyroid hormones concentration levels using Welch two-tailedo-tailed).
Thyroid disorders are highly prevalent, most frequently afflicting aging women. 1 It is crucial to advance the means of diagnosing thyroid diseases, especially overt and subclinical hypothyroidism in elderly people, because thyroid-associated symptoms are very similar to symptoms of the normal aging process.
This technology provides a means of assessing thyroid activity at the molecular level in a physiologically relevant situation.
Thirty-one female patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia were examined by means of the thyroid release hormonal (TRH) test with regard to hypothyreoidism and hyperprolactinemia.
The mean values of thyroid function tests at baseline were not significantly different (table 2).
The mean doses of thyroid, lung, liver, right kidney, left kidney, intestine, and uterine and ovary were 24.7, 4.6, 5.2, 3.9, 4.3, 4.3, 4.7, and 4.3 Gy, respectively (Table 1(a)).
These changes were further bolstered by morphometric and statistical analyses that revealed a significant decrease in the mean colloid area of thyroid follicles as compared with their respective controls.
In each session, participants began with a discussion of what the diagnosis of thyroid cancer meant to them.
The mean time since the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma was five years (range 2 to 8 years).
We also extracted data on mean age and serum concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone and free thyroxine.
