- Hyperuricemia is identified by serum uric acid levels over 6.8 mg/dL, but only 15-20% of hyperuricemic individuals develop gout; this study explores the "snowstorm" ultrasound feature for identifying hyperuricemia.
- A study with 108 patients revealed a significant relationship (p=0.005) between the presence of hyperechogenic spots on ultrasound and serum uric acid levels, indicating a medium association with gout or asymptomatic hyperuricemia.
- The research determined that urate begins to precipitate in synovial fluid at lower serum uric acid levels than previously thought, with a cut-off identified at 4.815 mg/dL, and

Forty-four patients experienced local relapses during the clinical follow-up. The immunohistochemical (IHC) study used the Labeled Streptavidin Biotin (LSAB)∕Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method, which evaluated the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), as well as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2∕neu) expressions in tumor cells.
