Article Synopsis
- Background: The AUS category in thyroid cytopathology helps classify nodules that aren’t clearly benign or malignant, requiring further investigation.
- Study Purpose: This research focuses on assessing the malignancy rate in patients with AUS-diagnosed thyroid nodules at a military hospital in Saudi Arabia.
- Key Findings: Among 508 patients, a significant percentage were women, with nodules often found in those aged 40-50. FNAC showed a noteworthy correlation with histopathology, indicating that features like echogenicity and calcification may help predict cancer presence in nodules.
Background And Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most significant public health problems in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of disease duration and disease complications on health-related quality of life among type 2 diabetic patients.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 380 adult diabetic type 2 patients at a tertiary hospital in the city of Khamis Mushit in Saudi Arabia.
