Introduction: Large retrosternal goiters often cause tracheal compression and deviation, leading to respiratory symptoms and complicating surgical treatment. Total thyroidectomy is the treatment of choice though it carries a risk of complications due to the altered anatomy and its proximity to vital structures. This study examines the outcomes of total thyroidectomy in patients with retrosternal goiters and assesses the impact of tracheal compression on clinical results.

- Total thyroidectomy can lead to postoperative hypocalcemia, which may be temporary or permanent, with calcium being vital for various bodily functions.
- The study analyzed data from patients who underwent the surgery, focusing on those with retrosternal extension and central compartment clearance to compare the incidence and severity of hypocalcemia.
- Results indicated a higher risk of hypocalcemia in patients with retrosternal extension and those undergoing extensive surgical procedures, with some patients needing long-term calcium supplementation.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the impact of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) on cognitive function and the importance of early detection for better management and care.
- - It presents a systematic review of 74 research papers that focus on using deep learning and electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for detecting MCI and AD, highlighting methods for distinguishing between these conditions.
- - The findings identify current limitations in deep learning applications for MCI and AD detection and suggest future research directions to improve early diagnosis, while also proposing high-performing models as benchmarks for subsequent studies.
Introduction Head and neck cancers account for 30% of malignancies in India and oral squamous cell carcinoma is most common. 80% of the patients present with locally advanced disease and many of them are inoperable. In this study we documented the outcomes of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in locally advanced oral cancer staged T4 with regards to downstaging the disease and to make the tumor more amenable for surgery with better access.
