Conclusions. The underlying heterogeneous echogenicity of a thyroid gland affected by diffuse Hashimoto's thyroiditis does not significantly influence the detection of multi-focality in papillary thyroid cancer on pre-operative ultrasound staging.iffuse thyroid disease (DTD) includes autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease. Known US features of DTD are decreased or increased parenchymal echogenicity, coarse echotexture, micro-nodulations and scattered micro-calcifications (Kim et al., 2010 and Pedersen et al., 2000).
Babies under six months old shouldn't be given fruit juices. Diluted fruit juice (one part juice to 10 parts water) can be given to children with their meals after six months.
Should you decide to give your baby water, please limit how much you are offering. Baby should drink no more than 2-3 ounces a day or as your pediatrician recommends. You do not want the water to displace the intake of breast milk and/or formula. Take the opportunity to offer water from a sippy cup also. Water in a sippy cup is the perfect liquid to use when introducing the sippy cup.
