Article Synopsis
- Expanding the use of ultrasound has led to increased detection of thyroid cancer, with the incidence notably higher in females, a gap that has widened over the years.
- This study analyzed data from over 33,000 patients at Kaiser Permanente of Washington to assess the relationship between ultrasound use, fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and cancer incidence by sex from 1997 to 2019.
- Findings revealed significant increases in ultrasound and FNAB rates for both sexes, with males undergoing FNAB more frequently despite a higher overall cancer incidence in females, suggesting that disparities in ultrasound usage may contribute to the differences in thyroid cancer rates.

Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil
October 2024
Purpose: To perform a systematic review about the varying definitions of "failure" of hip arthroscopy (HA) in the current literature and to provide a recommendation for the standardization of defining failure of HA.
Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identity Level I-IV clinical studies on HA failure published between January 2016 and July 2021 according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Inclusion criteria consisted of studies of patients who underwent an arthroscopic hip procedure and included a definition of failure.
The extent and determinants of supplemental screening among women with dense breasts are unclear. We evaluated a retrospective cohort of 498,855 women aged 40-74 years with heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts who obtained 1,176,251 negative screening mammography examinations during 2011-2019 in the United States. Overall, 2.
