METASTASES TO THE THYROID GLAND: ULTRASONOGRAPHIC FINDINGS AND DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF FINE-NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY

Metastases to the thyroid gland: ultrasonographic findings and diagnostic value of fine-needle aspiration cytology

IntroductionIn the present study, we aimed to analyze ultrasonographic findings of metastases to the thyroid and explore the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of metastases to the thyroid.MethodsTwelve cases of cytologically or/and pathologically Grooming confirmed metastatic tumors of the thyroid gland were reviewed.A

Mapping linear viscoelasticity for design and tactile intuition

We propose and study methods to improve tactile intuition for linear viscoelastic fluids.This includes (i) Pipkin mapping with amplitude based on stress rather than strain or strain-rate to map perception to rheological test conditions; and (ii) data reduction of linear viscoelastic functions to generate multi-dimensional Ashby-style cross-property
