[18F]Tetrafluoroborate: a new NIS PET/CT radiopharmaceutical. An overview focused on differentiated thyroid cancer.

Background: In relapsing differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), the in vivo evaluation of natrium-iodine symporter (NIS) expression is pivotal in the therapeutic planning and is achieved by [131/123I]Iodine whole-body scan. However, these approaches have low sensitivity due to the low sensitivity due to the low resolution of SPECT. [18F]Tetrafluoroborate (TFB) has been proposed as a viable alternative, which could outperform [131/123I]Iodine scans owing to the superior PET resolution.

PEG Precipitation to Detect Macro-TSH in Clinical Practice: A Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: Macro-thyroid-stimulating hormone (macro-TSH) is a complex formed by monomeric TSH with anti-TSH antibodies, causing falsely elevated TSH levels and potential misdiagnosis of hypothyroidism. Identification of macro-TSH is essential for proper treatment and patient follow-up. Its diagnostic gold standard is gel filtration chromatography (GFC), which is very expensive, time-consuming, and rarely available.

Performance of computer scientists in the assessment of thyroid nodules using TIRADS lexicons.

Objectives: Ultrasound (US) evaluation is recognized as pivotal in assessing the risk of malignancy (RoM) of thyroid nodules (TNs). Recently, various US-based risk-classification systems (Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data Systems [TIRADSs] have been developed. An important ongoing project concerns the creation of an international system (I-TIRADS) using unique terminology.

Performance of a safety protocol for scuba diving in people with type 1 diabetes: 20 years of "Diabete Sommerso®" experience.

Background And Aims: Scuba diving for people with diabetes was discouraged due to hypoglycemia risks. However, evolving guidelines now enable safe diving for people with diabetes. Among them, the Diabete Sommerso® safety protocol.

Rebound effect of hypothalamic-pituitary thyreotropic activity: a new model to better understand hypothyroidism.

Purpose: Hypothalamic-pituitary thyrotropic activity (HPta) is crucial since TSH is the mainstay for evaluating primary hypothyroidism (hT) and replacement therapy in clinical practice. Despite TSH values, some patients experience symptoms and metabolic alterations, raising several issues about hT. The aim of the study was to investigate factors influencing the TSH values achieved after a period of hT induced in a standardized and controlled manner (TSH_time1).
