Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, and physiological roles of the iodothyronine selenodeiodinases.

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to place the exciting advances that have occurred in understanding of the molecular biology of the types 1, 2, and 3 (D1, D2, and D3, respectively) iodothyronine deiodinases into a biochemical and physiological context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type I iodothyronine deiodinase is a selenocysteine-containing enzyme

TL;DR: It is found that the mRNA for this enzyme contains a UGA codon for selenocysteine which is necessary for maximal enzyme activity and explains why conversion of T4 to T3 is impaired in experimental selenium deficiency2–6 and identifies an essential role for this trace element in thyroid hormone action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term assessment of a multidisciplinary approach to thyroid nodule diagnostic evaluation

TL;DR: The diagnostic evaluation of patients with thyroid nodules is imprecise, and recent technologic and procedural advances suggest that this shortcoming can be mitigated, although few data confirm this benefit in unselected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and Distribution of Carcinoma in Patients with Solitary and Multiple Thyroid Nodules on Sonography

TL;DR: In a patient with one or more thyroid nodules larger than 10 mm in diameter, the likelihood of thyroid cancer per patient is independent of the number of nodules, whereas the likelihood per nodule decreases as the numberof nodules increases.
