TL;DR: Stable iodine supplementation in iodine-deficient populations may substantially reduce the risk of thyroid cancer related to radioactive iodines in case of exposure to radioactive iodine in childhood that may occur after radiation accidents or during medical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatic and germline mutation in GRIM-19, a dual function gene involved in mitochondrial metabolism and cell death, is linked to mitochondrion-rich (Hürthle cell) tumours of the thyroid

TL;DR: The GRIM-19 mutations detected are the first nuclear gene mutations specific to Hürthle cell tumours to be reported to date and it is proposed that such mutations can be involved in the genesis of sporadic or familial Hurthlecell tumours through the dual function of GRim-19 in mitochondrial metabolism and cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRAF mutations are not a major event in post-Chernobyl childhood thyroid carcinomas
Jorge Lima,Vítor Trovisco,Paula Soares,Valdemar Máximo,J.F Magalhaes,Giuliana Salvatore,Massimo Santoro,Tatyana I. Bogdanova,Mykola Tronko,Alexander Abrosimov,Steve Jeremiah,Gerry Thomas,Dillwyn Williams,Manuel Sobrinho-Simões +13 more
TL;DR: The frequency of BRAF mutations is significantly lower in post-Chernobyl PTC than in adult sporadic PTC, whereas no significant difference was found between post- Chernobyl and sporadic childhood PTCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral treatment of ringworm with griseofulvin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dental x-rays and the risk of thyroid cancer: A case-control study
TL;DR: Findings provide some support to the hypothesis that exposure to dental x-rays, particularly multiple exposures, may be associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer; and warrant further study in settings where historical dental X-ray records may be available.
