My patient has a thyroid mass, yet thyroid hormone concentrations were normal to low. Why aren't they elevated?
Most thyroid masses in the canine are nonfunctional and do not secrete excess concentrations of thyroid hormones. The majority of thyroid tumors are thyroid carcinomas, and only a small percentage result in hyperthyroidism. Occasionally, a thyroid mass may cause an increase in TgAA.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
