In the intersection valve-mantle there is a
pseudonodule, only observable under the Scannig Electron Microscope (SEM) (Vidal, 2010, partim).
They are formed by the sinking of load casts into water-saturated fine sediments, synonymous with the "
pseudonodules" of Kuenen [18].
For the diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis in the cases determined as having hypothyroidism, the following criteria were considered to be present: heterogeneous pattern in thyroid USG,
pseudonodules and/or diffuse bands together with Anti-TPO and/or Anti-Tg positivity.
Sarul P, Vlahova M, Ivanova A, Atanassov A (1995) Direct shoot formation in spontaneously occurring root
pseudonodules of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.).
Host-plant responses to LCOs involve calcium as a second messenger via G protein and phospholipases C and D, and include root hair deformation, infection thread formation, cortical cell division, and the formation of
pseudonodules in some species (for recent reviews see Broughton et al., 2003; Limpens and Bisseling, 2003; Ferguson and Mathesius 2003).
