Background: Persons with achondroplasia develop early obesity, which is a comorbidity associated with other complications. Currently, there are no validated specific predictive equations to estimate resting energy expenditure in achondroplasia.
Methods: We analyzed the influence of body composition on this parameter and determined whether predictive models used for children with standard height are adjusted to achondroplasia.
Objective: Inflammatory bowel disease comprises a group of chronic relapsing inflammatory disorders affecting the bowel. In the last decade, the advent of biological drugs brought about a drastic change in the treatment of the disease. Adalimumab, golimumab and ustekinumab are three biologic agents that patients can self-administer subcutaneously after collecting them from the pharmacy department.

- Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) is a rare type of thyroid cancer that is traditionally seen as a variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and this study compares the clinical factors and outcomes between the two.
- The research involved 230 patients over an average follow-up of 13.4 years, revealing that HCC patients were older and had more advanced cancer stages, along with a higher occurrence of recurrence and metastases.
- Despite these differences, when controlling for factors like age, tumor size, and histological subtype, the rates of disease-free survival were found to be similar between HCC and FTC patients.
