Comparative analysis of five correction methods for thyroid volume by ultrasound and their recommended reference values in Chinese children aged 8–10 years
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors compared the applicability of five correction methods for thyroid volume (TVOL): Body Surface Area corrected Volume (BSAV), Body Mass Indicator corrected volume (BMIV), Weight and Height corrected Volume Indicator (WHVI), height corrected volume Indicator 1 (HVI1) and height corrected volumes Indicator 2 (H VI2); to establish the reference values for correction methods.

Chinese Female Adults Need More Iodine Intake Based on ‘Overflow Theory’
Yajie Li,Jun Wang,Xiaobing Liu,Weidong Li,Deqian Mao,Jiaxi Lu,Xiuwei Li,Hongxing Tan,Yanyan Liu,Jun'an Yan,Wei Yu,Chongzheng Guo,Xiaoli Liu,Xiaoguang Yang +13 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that basal iodine requirement may be much less than the current iodine intake recommendation for healthy Chinese female adults and Chinese women may need more than 20% iodine intake than men based on the ‘iodine overflow’ hypothesis.
