Abstract

Notions like ‘entropy’ and ‘(expected) value of observations’ are widely used in science to determine which experiment to conduct to make a better informed choice between a set of scientific theories that are all consistent with the data. But these notions seem to be almost equally important for our use of language in daily life as they are for scientific inquiries.

2. Thyroid volume is progressively reduced as a sequela of neck irradiation for childhood Hodgkin's disease

Author

Bossi, G., Larizza, D., Sommaruga, G., Corbella, F., Klersy, C., and Maurizio Arico'

Subjects
Male, Adolescent, Radiotherapy, Thyroid Gland, Infant, Thyroid Function Tests, Combined Modality Therapy, Hodgkin Disease, Hypothyroidism, Child, Preschool, Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols, Humans, Female, Atrophy, Child, Radiation Injuries, Neck
Abstract

Thyroid volume reduction was observed, among 25 subjects off-therapy after Hodgkin's disease. The volume reduction was related to dose (p = 0.014) and time from radiotherapy (p = 0.01). The correlation was very specific since all patients with reduced volume had hypothyroidism, but not very sensitive since 25% of subjects with thyroid dysfunction had normal gland volume.
