Follicular-patterned thyroid neoplasms comprise a diverse group of lesions that pose significant challenges in terms of differential diagnosis based solely on morphologic and genetic features. Thus, the identification of easily testable biomarkers complementing microscopic and genetic analyses is a highly anticipated advancement that could improve diagnostic accuracy, particularly for noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTPs). These tumors exhibit considerable morphological and molecular heterogeneity, which may complicate their distinction from structurally similar neoplasms, especially when genetic analyses reveal shared genomic alterations (e.

- - Unilateral non-hemorrhagic adrenal infarction (NHAI) is a rare but serious condition that can cause acute abdomen during pregnancy, making diagnosis difficult due to its uncommon occurrence and varied symptoms.
- - A case study of a 32-week pregnant woman revealed that NHAI often occurs on the right side and is frequently diagnosed over 24 hours after symptoms appear, requiring advanced imaging for a definitive diagnosis.
- - Increased awareness and clinical suspicion of NHAI in pregnant patients are crucial for effective treatment, management, and improved outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
Article Synopsis
- Thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a key diagnostic procedure for evaluating thyroid nodules in children to identify potential thyroid cancer, with increased focus on improved accuracy and reduced discomfort for patients.
- Recent advancements include updated ultrasound scoring algorithms and molecular genetic testing, which help differentiate between benign and malignant nodules.
- Artificial intelligence is also being integrated to analyze data effectively, enhancing the use of FNA as a primary diagnostic tool for pediatric thyroid conditions.
Diabetes prevalence is growing worldwide, especially in some populations. Though migrations seem to contribute to the presence in host countries of a significant number of patients with diabetes and its comorbidities, very little is known about the health conditions of undocumented migrants. We retrospectively studied 838 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 425 Italians followed by the diabetes clinic of a university hospital, and 413 undocumented migrants receiving assistance from a non-governmental organization.

- - Incidental thyroid carcinomas (ITCs), particularly papillary thyroid microcarcinomas, are often found in patients undergoing thyroid surgery for unrelated issues, with a study revealing a 13.5% ITC rate among those with indeterminate cytology.
- - The research reviewed 3,270 thyroid Fine Needle Aspirations (FNAs), narrowing down to 163 surgically treated patients, where 22 were found to have ITCs, indicating that ITCs accounted for 46.8% of cancers diagnosed in patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules.
- - The study concluded that the indeterminate cytological diagnosis from FNAs does not heighten the risk of ITCs, and it highlighted a significant difference between the
