Various morphonuclear studies using digital image analysis have been taken into account in order to establish the malignancy of thyroid lesions based on their size and on the chromatographic characteristics of tumor cell nuclei. Nuclear morphometry involves the measurement of nuclear parameters to obtain diagnostically important information in an objective and reproducible manner. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the detailed morphometric analysis of histopathological preparations with lesions of the thyroid gland and to investigate its role in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid lesions.

- - Ogilvie syndrome, or acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), involves significant dilation of the large bowel without any mechanical blockage, primarily affecting patients in intensive care with severe underlying conditions.
- - The exact cause of ACPO is not fully understood, but it's believed that disturbances in the autonomic nervous system can impair the colon's motor function.
- - Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications like ischemia or perforation, and the study aims to provide insights into effective management strategies for critically ill patients at risk of developing this condition.
Article Synopsis
- Burnout is a critical issue for resident doctors, particularly heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased stress and workload.
- The article reviews literature on burnout in medical residents and explains its prevalence across different specialties, revealing that some are at higher risk.
- It also discusses a study conducted in a non-Covid emergency hospital in Romania, exploring the impact of burnout and suggesting potential solutions to alleviate this growing concern.
The tailored approach to gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has led to better prognosis for these types of tumors. Also, finding out GIST's pathology has led to a better understanding of oncogenesis and cancer therapy in general. The rapid expansion of molecular and pathological knowledge of GISTs has given this disease a promising future.
