Surgical versus non-surgical management of hyperfunctional thyroid metastasis: a case report.

Background: Hyperthyroidism, caused by metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer, is a rare condition that can be difficult to diagnose. Thyrotoxicosis and metastatic disease regarding functional metastasis increase morbidity and mortality in patients with functional metastasis and need to be treated. This study aims to present a case of hyper-functional metastasis of thyroid cancer to analyze its pathological features, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options and to gather and examine recent cases of hyper-functional metastasis of thyroid cancer.

Radiofrequency Ablation of Parathyroid Adenoma: Results of a Retrospective Analysis of 60 Patients.

Purpose: To present the effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in parathyroid adenoma (PTA).

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, 60 patients with a single PTA were evaluated for changes in biochemical and ultrasonographic features up to 6 months after RFA of the lesion. Adenomas were ablated with an alternative technique so called "Nik jet dissection" which incorporates full hydrodissection and polar artery coagulation.

Pathology-based radiation dose in computed tomography: investigation of the effect of lung lesions on water-equivalent diameter, CTDIVol and SSDE in COVID-19 patients.

Lung lesions can increase the CT number and affect the water-equivalent diameter (Dw), Dw-based conversion factor (CFw), and Dw-based size-specific dose estimate (SSDEw). We evaluated the effect of COVID-19 lesions and total severity score (TSS) on radiation dose considering the effect of automatic tube current modulation (ATCM) and fixed tube current (FTC). A total of 186 chest CT scans were categorised into five TSS groups, including healthy, minimal, mild, moderate and severe.

Effect of ultrasound parameters of benign thyroid nodules on radiofrequency ablation efficacy.

Background And Aim: Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive therapy for thyroid nodules (TNs). Understanding the determinants of RFA efficacy can improve treatment and prognosis. This study aims to investigate the relationship between ultrasound parameters of benign TNs and the efficacy of RFA.

Intraoperative Assessment of High-Risk Thyroid Nodules Based on Electrical Impedance Measurements: A Feasibility Study.

Precise diagnosis of thyroid nodules is challenging due to non-diagnostic/inconclusive results and uncertainties about the malignancy of follicular neoplasms (FNs), even in frozen-section pathology. Therefore, surgical management, especially in Bethesda III and IV categories, may be complicated, and sometimes a second surgery may be required. The Thyroid Nodule Impedance Measurement System (TN-IMS) consists of a metallic patch attached to submental skin and a G20 I.

Endovascular Treatment of the Ruptured Pseudoaneurysm of Common Femoral Artery in Behcet's Disease: Report of a Case with Four Years of Follow-Up.

Behcet's disease (BD) is a vasculitic condition that affects arteries and veins of all sizes. Arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication of BD. We reported a 41-year-old man with 20 years history of BD and 5 years history of bilateral blindness.

Radiofrequency ablation of parathyroid adenomas causing primary hyperparathyroidism: A report of 27 patients.

Purpose: To study treatment outcome of parathyroid adenomas using ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation.

Methods: Twenty-seven patients with a single adenoma of the parathyroid gland were included in the study. Using color Doppler ultrasonography, the lesion and its characteristics were determined, and dextrose was injected to dissect the gland from the surrounding structures.

Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Locally Recurrent Thyroid Carcinoma.

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for non-surgical treatment of locally recurrent thyroid cancers, in both well-differentiated and medullary thyroid carcinomas (DTC and MTC) that are not amenable to traditional treatments.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 48 patients with 103 recurrent tumors (81 DTC, 22 MTC) who underwent ultrasound-guided RFA. Patients were followed for 12-37 months to observe the outcomes and complications.

Hydrodissection: A Novel Approach for Safe Core Needle Biopsy of Small High-Risk Subcapsular Thyroid Nodules.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of core needle biopsy (CNB) under the assistance of hydrodissection (HDS).

Materials And Methods: Of 2325 patients requiring biopsy of thyroid lesions, 21 high-risk patients with subcapsular nodules smaller than 10 mm were recruited into this study. All patients underwent HDS with 0.

Successful vascular interventional management of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis in a patient with COVID-19: A case report and review of literature.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is associated with thrombosis formation in various vessels, including those in the abdomen. In this case report, we present a COVID-19 infected patient who had developed abdominal discomfort. The patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging, which showed signs of thrombosis formation in the superior mesenteric vein (SMV).
