Article Synopsis
- This study examined risk factors for recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury after microwave ablation (MWA) of thyroid nodules and recovery time for hoarseness post-procedure.
- The analysis included 1,216 patients from five hospitals, focusing on nodule characteristics and their impact on hoarseness, particularly the distance from nodules to the tracheoesophageal groove (TEG-D) and posterior capsule distance (PCD).
- Findings showed that closer nodules (TEG-D ≤ 2 mm) correlated with longer recovery times from hoarseness, highlighting TEG-D as a crucial risk factor for both injury and recovery in MWA procedures.
The form of selenium appears to be important for preventing cancer in humans. Here, we evaluated selenium levels in the serum and bone tissue samples from osteosarcoma patients using atomic absorption spectrometry. The in vitro effects of Se-methylselenocysteine (Se-MSC) on growth, cell cycle status, and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells were assessed using the WST-1 assay, Hoechst 33342/propidium iodide staining, and flow cytometry, respectively.
