This review highlights recent developments in the synthesis and application of furoxan. The chemistry of furoxan is relatively underdeveloped compared to that of other heterocycles owing to its difficult synthesis, which is ascribed to the labile nature of this molecule under various reaction conditions. Nevertheless, recent studies have conducted a variety of bond-forming reactions on the furoxan ring a post-ring introduction of substituents (PRIS) strategy.

Purpose: We aimed to present three new ultrasound signs-gallbladder scalloping, mammillated caudate lobe, and inferior vena cava scalloping-and determine their accuracy in diagnosing liver cirrhosis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 201 consecutive patients with a history of chronic liver disease who had undergone ultrasound imaging and liver biopsy were identified. A senior ultrasound radiologist blindly reviewed the ultrasound examinations.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to develop a thyroid nodule scoring system for malignancy potential to better select nodules for ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA).

Materials And Methods: US-guided FNA was performed on 2375 thyroid nodules in successive patients. Cytologic or histopathologic confirmation of disease state in 2002 lesions showed that 148 were malignant.
