Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the electrical characteristics of nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerves (NRILNs) during thyroid surgeries using intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and look for associated vascular anomalies.
- Out of 7865 thyroidectomy patients, 42 had NRILNs, with most cases detected through specific EMG signs and difficulties identifying the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
- The findings showed a 0.53% prevalence of NRILNs, with a significant percentage having vascular anomalies, and suggest early detection methods during surgery to reduce the risk of nerve injury.
Adrenal gland injury in trauma patients and its impact on clinical outcomes.
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
August 2024
Background: Adrenal gland injury (AGI) associated with trauma is an uncommon and often overlooked condition. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of AGI in individuals with severe trauma injuries and investigate the outcomes of patients with AGI.
Methods: All patients admitted to a tertiary trauma referral center under the trauma protocol who had a computed tomography (CT) scan between January 2012 and January 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.
Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT: a promising novel tracer for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
November 2024
Introduction: This study aims to assess Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT for detecting hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue in comparison to [Tc]Tc-MIBI scintigraphy-SPECT/CT (MIBI scan) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
Methods: The cohort comprised 13 patients diagnosed with PHPT based on biochemical analyses, including serum calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Each participant underwent cervical ultrasonography, MIBI scan, and Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT imaging.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed how the timing of HAPS after injecting Tc-MAA affects lung shunt fraction (LSF) and perfused volume (PV) in patients receiving selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) for liver cancer.
- - Researchers analyzed 51 HAPS sessions involving 40 patients, comparing LSF values and PV calculations from scans taken one hour and four hours post-injection.
- - They found LSF values increased significantly from the first hour to the fourth hour, but PV calculations remained consistent; delaying HAPS could lead to overestimations of LSF, potentially impacting treatment decisions.
Background And Aim: Radioembolization (RE) is a one of the palliative treatments that have been used to down stage and/or increase the survival time in intermediate-advanced stages of HCC. We aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of RE and the clinical use of the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score as a predictor for survival in HCC patients.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-nine unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients were enrolled.
