Article Synopsis
- Thyroid nodules are common and usually benign, but they can pose a risk of malignancy; this study examined the histopathological types of thyroid nodules in Ahvaz over selected years.
- The study reviewed records from 380 patients, finding that 70.3% had benign nodules while 29.7% were malignant, with papillary thyroid cancer being the most common type; significant factors related to malignancy included age, bilateral nodules, and lymphadenopathy.
- Key findings suggest that awareness of specific risk factors, such as age (30-45 years) and lymph node involvement, is crucial when assessing the likelihood of malignancy in thyroid nodules.
Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to alleviate pain and disability in patients with knee arthritis, but some experience persistent postoperative pain (PPP) even after surgery.
- A study assessed 242 patients for various factors, measuring pain using the WOMAC index before and after surgery, and found that 13.22% and 9.09% still had moderate-to-severe pain after 6 and 12 months, respectively.
- Key predictive factors for PPP included higher preoperative WOMAC scores, loosened prosthesis, and elevated anxiety and depression levels, highlighting the importance of psychological health in recovery outcomes.
