Background: Pregnancy is associated with thyroid nodule formation and increased size. However, an acute increase in thyroid cysts during cesarean section is unusual.
Case Description: We describe the case of a 23-year-old primiparous woman at 37 weeks of gestation, without a history of thyroid disease, who underwent a cesarean section under general anesthesia.
Article Synopsis
- Undesired dough adhesion during baking is still a significant challenge, and various methods exist to measure dough's adhesive texture properties.
- A new multi-scale approach was developed to assess dough adhesion using a pilot scale device, laboratory texture analysis, and human sensory assessment, incorporating factors like dough-modifying enzymes and storage times.
- Results showed that using bacterial xylanase after 80 minutes of storage led to the highest adhesion values, with strong correlations found between pilot scale detachment times and human sensory assessments, indicating that sensory assessment may better predict dough machinability than traditional methods.
Rationale: Therapeutic hypothermia is an effective medical treatment for neurological recovery after cardiac arrest. Here, we describe a case of successful mild therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest during living-donor liver transplantation.
Patient Concerns: A 54-year-old woman with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted for living-donor liver transplantation.
Introduction: The purpose of a neural integrity monitor electromyogram (EMG) tracheal tube is to reduce the risk of damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerves. Complications associated with the use of EMG tube are ventilatory failure, tracheal injury, and difficult extubation.
Patient Concerns: We encountered a case of difficult extubation of an EMG tube after thyroidectomy and partial tracheal resection in a 73-year-old woman.
Reovirus functions as an oncolytic agent for many types of cancer including colon cancer. Although most studies have emphasized the role of activated Ras signaling in enhancing reoviral oncolysis in susceptible cells, we note that many colon cancers also display elevated beta-catenin. Thus, it is possible that enhanced beta-catenin may augment reoviral susceptibility in colon cancer cells.
