    • The thyroid FNA aspirate will be stained immediately after the biopsy and reviewed in real-time by a UCLA pathologist via telemicroscope. The patient will receive preliminary results right after the biopsy, facilitating the immediate planning of subsequent steps, such as scheduling a meeting with an endocrine surgeon for a thyroidectomy if the results are malignant. This approach reduces patient anxiety by eliminating the wait for results and helps ensure the patient is not lost to follow-up. Additionally, it allows for live communication with both the endocrinologist and pathologist, enhancing diagnosis and supporting ongoing research efforts.

    • Hashimoto’s Disease (HD) is a common autoimmune disorder characterized by destruction of thyroid tissue and subsequent hypothyroidism. Current treatment consists of hormone replacement therapy and is often sufficient to restore physiological thyroid hormone levels.  Nevertheless, the immune system plays a significant role in disease progression and better understanding of the feedforward and feedback interactions among immune and thyroid system variables should lead to better understanding and reveal new therapeutic targets. To this end, we present a mathematical simulation model of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis which incorporates the dynamic interactions of the immune system and thyroid.  The model is fitted to UCLA health system HD patient data, extending the capabilities of our validated patient specific p-THYROSIM model, allowing it to simulate the interplay of relevant immune components and the thyroid of patients with HD.
