Article Synopsis
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a promising treatment for thyroid nodules (TNs), showing favorable efficacy and safety based on various studies.
- A prospective study from January 2017 to December 2022 evaluated RFA in 970 eligible patients, revealing an effective rate of 80% and a complete ablation rate of 14.9%, with most nodules stabilizing after 5 years.
- Although the procedure generally had positive outcomes, a serious adverse event was recorded in one patient, highlighting the need for further assessment of potential nerve damage post-treatment.
Triple-negative breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype lacking estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. Known for limited targeted therapies, it poses challenges and requires personalized treatment strategies. Differential analysis revealed a significant decrease in keratin 81 (KRT81) expression in non-TNBC samples and an increase in TNBC samples, lower KRT81 expression correlated with better TNBC patient outcomes.

Currently, endoscopic biliary drainage is preferred in clinical practice, including endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) and endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS), both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of our study was to compare the safety and efficacy of endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) only vs.
