Clinical and Paraclinical Considerations Regarding ki67's Role in the Management of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma-A Literature Review.

: The ki67 nuclear protein is a tool for diagnosis and prognosis in oncology that is used to evaluate cell proliferation. Differentiated thyroid carcinoma is usually a slow-growing neoplasm, the most common type being the papillary form. Some clinical and pathological aspects may predict aggressive behaviour.

Risk factors for involuntary admission in a Romanian patient sample.

Background: Involuntary admission is widely used in psychiatry, usually requiring that the patient present an imminent danger to himself or others. Previous studies have established several predictors for involuntary admission, but they have been almost exclusively conducted in Western European or North American countries. By contrast, data on this topic from Eastern European countries is virtually absent.

Quality of Life in People With Subjective Cognitive Decline.

Objective: Quality of life is extensively studied in older persons, but there are few studies that investigate it in people with subjective cognitive decline. Our aim was to evaluate the quality of life in a Romanian sample of individuals with subjective cognitive decline compared to controls while accounting for different possible moderators. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the quality of life in a Romanian subjective cognitive decline sample.

Cognitive Differences in Subjective Cognitive Decline with and without Associated Worry.

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a heterogenous concept that has been associated with future objective cognitive decline. Our objective was to assess the cognitive function of three groups: one with SCD who claimed to be worried about their symptoms, one with SCD who did not claim to be worried about their symptoms and one without SCD (control group). We designed a cross-sectional study including people from primary care units and a memory center.

How "Subjective" is Subjective Cognitive Decline?

Background: Subjective cognitive decline is presently considered to be the earliest clinical stage of neurodegeneration. By its current definition, subjective cognitive decline conceptually implies that the sufferer presents no psychometrically measurable cognitive impairment despite numerous articles stating the presence of discrete objective impairments. Our purpose was to evaluate differences in objective cognitive performance in subjective cognitive decline patients compared to healthy controls.

Risk factors and consequences of traumatic brain injury in a Swiss male population cohort.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors for and the consequences (ie, substance use disorders (SUD), depression, personality traits) of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in young Swiss men.

Design: This is a three-wave cohort study. Risk factors were measured at baseline (2010-2012) and at follow-up 1 (FU1; 2012-2014), while the consequences and TBI were measured at follow-up 2 (FU2; 2016-2018).

Knowledge of Prevention Measures and Information About Coronavirus in Romanian Male Patients with Severe Mental Illness and Severe Alcohol Use Disorder.

Purpose: Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are at higher risk for contracting coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) and for poor outcomes of COVID-19 infection. One reason for this could be the lack of knowledge regarding preventive measures against COVID-19 and the inability of the psychiatric patients to discern misinformation from facts.

Patients And Methods: The study design was cross-sectional.
