Magnetic detection of sentinel lymph node in papillary thyroid carcinoma: The MAGIC-PAT study results.

Introduction: Despite the controversy concerning sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), successful detection rates can be achieved by radioguidance and vital dyeing. However, the drawbacks in both techniques are notable. Magnetic-guided SLNB (mSLNB) using superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles is appealing as an alternative procedure.

A prospective study of cardiovascular disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes. 6.3 years of follow-up.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2) is an important cardiovascular risk factor, although hardly any data are available in our country. Therefore, we decided to study the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the related variables with its appearance in a group of patients with DM-2.

Research Design And Methods: 176 DM-2 patients without CVD at baseline (63.
