Application of machine learning methods to guide patient management by predicting the risk of malignancy of Bethesda III-V thyroid nodules.

Objective: Indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITN) are common and often lead to (sometimes unnecessary) diagnostic surgery. We aimed to evaluate the performance of two machine learning methods (ML), based on routinely available features to predict the risk of malignancy (RM) of ITN.

Design: Multi-centric diagnostic retrospective cohort study conducted between 2010 and 2020.

Endoscopic vs transfacial resection of sinonasal adenocarcinomas.

Objectives: Compare the survival and the complication rates of 2 comparable groups of patients who underwent either endoscopic or transfacial resection of a sinonasal adenocarcinoma.

Study Design: Historical cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.

Respiratory complications after supracricoid partial laryngectomy.

The objective of the study was to analyze the incidence, treatment, and prevention of early and late respiratory complications in a series of patients who had supracricoid partial laryngectomies with either cricohyoidoepiglottopexy or cricohyoidopexy. From medical charts, we retrospectively reviewed 101 patients who underwent supracricoid partial laryngectomies, from 1980 to 2006, for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and recorded the various postoperative complications and the time of decannulation. The mortality rate was 3.
