Thyroid cancer (TC) represents a significant health burden globally, with follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) posing diagnostic challenges despite advancements. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the utility of a liquid biopsy with cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in patients with FTC. Blood samples were collected from 13 patients diagnosed with FTC, DNA extraction was performed, and cfDNA was analyzed using the Illumina's TruSight Oncology 500 High-Throughput panel.

This systematic review analyzes the existing literature on circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), cell-free DNA integrity index (cfDI), and their potential as biomarkers for TC, including the subtypes: differentiated (papillary and follicular), medullary, and anaplastic.

Design: A systematic review of the literature between 1984 and 2021 was performed. Two independent reviewers performed abstract and full-text screening using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines.
Transorbital and intra-sphenoidal traumas are relatively uncommon, can be challenging to manage, and are associated with a high risk of complications and potentially fatal outcome. Transorbital and intra-sphenoidal trauma pose a medical challenge due to close relationship to delicate and critical anatomical structures, such as the globe, optic nerve, the ophthalmic internal carotid arteries, and central nervous system. Rapid admission to a level 1 trauma center with a high surgical expertise level is essential to ensure the best possible treatment and outcome.

- This study examined how the severity of diabetes affects the risk and 30-day death rate from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB).
- The research involved a nationwide analysis comparing SAB patients with diabetes and those without, revealing higher SAB risk associated with both diabetes and diabetes with complications.
- Results indicated that while diabetes without complications increased 30-day mortality risk post-SAB, diabetes with complications did not—except for cases involving ketoacidosis or coma, which had the highest death risk.
