In vitro measurement volume of the neonate thyroid gland

Abstract

Measurement and replacement fluid methods to estimate the thyroid gland volume. Because there is wideranging of variation in the volume of the thyroid gland in healthy individuals of different geographical
location, ages, gender, and races.Objectives: To estimate normal neonate thyroid gland volume it can throw
light to help clinicians deal better with the gland during neonatal age besides providing native standard
data. Period: From Sept 13, 2018, to Mar 22, 2019. Material & Methods: Total of 48 subjects were
included, 24 male and 24 female. The neonate thyroid gland collected and inspected grossly and taken all
measurements, then use these measurements for finding volume thyroid gland. Also, the volumeis taken by
using replacement fluid. Results: The mean aggregate thyroid gland volume of measures method for male
subjectsstudy was 250.53 ± 4.37mm3
, while a female was 246.31 ± 3.42 mm3. The mean volume thyroid
gland of replacement fluid method for male subjects study was 295.71 ± 4.41mm3, while the female was
291.43 ± 4.04. The mean thyroid volume of the male is expressively larger than female in both methods but
statically non-significant variation. The difference between both ways statistically highly significant (p<
0.01). Conclusion: according to results that achieved by two methods, we should use another correction
factor, higher than 0.749, until getting the nearest value to replacement fluid. Working out different ages to
establish average data.
