to PEs were then utilized to investigate the possible effects of melt shear viscosities of PEs upon the deformation behavior of MPA during the formation of parisons before blow-molding, and upon the morphology, barrier and impact properties of PE/MPA blends.
About thyroid surgery. Thyroid nodules can be removed surgically with a lobectomy or a total thyroidectomy. In a lobectomy, the surgeon removes only the section â called a lobe â that contains the lump. In a total thyroidectomy, the surgeon removes the entire thyroid.
A thyroid nodule is simply a lump or mass in the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules are relatively common; 6% of adult women and 2% of adult men in the U.S. have a thyroid nodule that can be felt on examination. Goiter can be the result of thyroid tumors, which are usually benign, but sometimes malignant. 2  Most thyroid tumors present as discrete nodules, but there are several kinds of thyroid cancer that can cause generalized swelling of the gland.
