Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) represent ∼5% of all thyroid nodules and often necessitate definitive treatments such as surgery or radioiodine (I), both of which have inherent risks. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as an effective and safe therapeutic option for managing AFTNs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of RFA for solitary AFTNs in various countries across Latin America.

Additionally, it assesses the impact of incorporating hospital at home (HaH) for perioperative follow-up on program efficiency and costs.
Methods: We analyzed a case cohort of patients who underwent oncological outpatient neurosurgery with HaH-based postoperative follow-up for tumor removal or biopsy at a tertiary care center since 2019.
Introduction: Since 2023, a monoclonal antibody (nirsevimab) specifically directed against the preF form of RSV has been marketed in Spain. The impact of late immunization in the population <6 months as a cause of other respiratory infections requiring a hospital visit has been analyzed.
Material And Methods: The viral etiology of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) diagnosed in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons has been prospectively compared, and in this last season between recipients and non-recipients of nirsevimab.
