Article Synopsis
- The study compares transoral vestibular robotic thyroidectomy (TOVRT) to traditional low-collar incision thyroidectomy (TLCIT) for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), focusing on surgical and patient outcomes.
- Data from 120 patients were analyzed using propensity score matching to reduce bias, and both surgical techniques involved total thyroidectomy or lobectomy with central lymph node dissection.
- Results showed TOVRT had longer operation times, greater postoperative drainage, and longer drainage tube placement compared to TLCIT, but no conversions to open surgery occurred in the TOVRT group.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of robotic total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND) through a bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) in young women with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, comparing it to conventional open surgery.
- * The robotic procedure had a longer average operative time but resulted in significantly better cosmetic outcomes and less postoperative pain, as indicated by visual analog scale (VAS) and numerical scoring system (NSS) results.
- * Overall, while the robotic technique showed advantages in comfort and appearance, it didn't show significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, or complications when compared to traditional methods.
The aim of this study was to provide functional insight into the identification of hub subnetworks by aggregating the behavior of genes connected in a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. We applied a protein network-based approach to identify subnetworks which may provide new insight into the functions of pathways involved in breast cancer rather than individual genes. Five groups of breast cancer data were downloaded and analyzed from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database of high-throughput gene expression data to identify gene signatures using the genome-wide global significance (GWGS) method.
