Potential determinants and predictors of hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy in pediatric patients.

Objective: Few studies have reported risk factors for post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism (HPT) in children. We aimed to identify predicting factors for transient and permanent HPT after total thyroidectomy in pediatric patients.

Study Design: Retrospective review of medical charts.

Evaluating Depth of Invasion as a Continuous Prognostic Factor in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Background: Depth of invasion (DOI) has a significant clinical impact on the staging system of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We aimed to compare the prognostic impact of treating DOI as a continuous variable rather than a categorical one.

Methods: A retrospective review of 277 OSCC patients surgically treated in a tertiary care center from 2000 to 2020, with a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Age Stratification and Prognostic Factor Analysis in Pediatric Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

Objectives: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is rare in the pediatric population. It remains unclear whether younger children are at greater risk of more aggressive disease. We aimed to identify prognostic factors for aggressive pediatric DTC and to define an appropriate age stratification.

The Incidence of Radiologic Evidence of Sinusitis Following Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery: A Multi-Center Study.

: Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery has become a viable alternative to open procedures for the surgical treatment of benign and malignant lesions in the sinonasal and skull base regions. As in sinus surgery, skull base surgery may cause crusting and posterior rhinorrhea, particularly when a nasoseptal flap is required for skull base reconstruction. Post-operative radiological sinonasal findings have been reported previously with no clear correlation with intraoperative decision-making.
