Background: The follicular-patterned thyroid lesions (FPTLs) include hyperplastic nodules (HN), follicular adenoma (FA), non-invasive follicular neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP), follicular carcinoma (FC), and the follicular variant of papillary carcinoma (FVPTC). Sometimes the pathologists cannot accurately separate these lesions from each others on a histological basis.
Aims: To evaluate the utility of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of FPTLs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of hybrid SPECT/CT imaging with technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate in diagnosing active unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) by comparing results to histopathology.
- Twenty-four patients with suspected UCH underwent SPECT/CT, with evaluations achieving high interobserver agreement and confirming all surgeries performed led to a UCH diagnosis.
- SPECT/CT showed slightly higher sensitivity than planar scintigraphy for UCH diagnosis, while both methods had similar specificity; quantitative metrics were less sensitive than qualitative assessments.
Purpose: To assess the caregiving burden and its associated factors among Eritrean families of persons living with schizophrenia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted for 146 caregivers with their respective known patients with schizophrenia of Saint Mary's Neuropsychiatric National Referral Hospital (SMNNRH). Data were collected using Pai and Kapur's Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and self-prepared sociodemographic sheet.
