[Cyto-histological correlation of malignant thyroid nodules: clinical factors as predictors of malignancy].

Introduction: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is routinely used to distinguish benign from malignant tumors in thyroid nodules. Most benign or malignant diagnosis are confirmed by histology, but for suspected malignancies (Follicular neoplasm and Hürthle-cell neoplasm histology is always required. Some clinical factors have been identified as predictors of malignancy in the suspicious cases with eventual interest for treatment options.

[Surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism with intraoperative iPTH determination].

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is most frequently caused by a solitary adenoma. Surgical intervention has a high cure rate, particularly when associated with a fast intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) assay.

Aim: to evaluate the performance and accuracy when applying this technique.
