Article Synopsis
- High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is essential for diagnosing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), but it can be confused with other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) due to similar radiologic patterns.
- Researchers used mass spectrometry to analyze plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different patient groups, identifying a five-protein signature that distinguishes IPF from other ILDs and healthy individuals.
- The study validated these biomarkers in independent cohorts, showing high accuracy but emphasizes the need for further large-scale studies to confirm their clinical application.
Background: Long-term dysphonia may persist after thyroid surgery even in the absence of overt nerve injury. Therefore, we evaluated long-term dysphonia after thyroidectomy using a validated survey.
Methods: Patients undergoing thyroidectomy at a single institution from 1990 to 2018 were surveyed via telephone to complete the Voice Handicap Index-10 Survey.
Background: Transoral Endocrine Surgery (TES) represents an alternative to the open approach with no visible scar. Studies have shown TES has a safety profile similar to the open approach, but adoption has been limited. Public perception and preference for TES are factors associated with adoption that have not been explored.

Prior studies have demonstrated financial burden and decreased quality of life in patients with thyroid cancer. Here, we characterize patient-reported financial burden in patients with thyroid cancer over a 28y period.
