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.

Background: Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective procedure to better function and relief the pain in advanced osteoarthritis patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of outpatient clinic-based setting of physiotherapy versus home-based rehabilitation (HBR) for functional recovery immediately after primary TKA procedure.
Materials And Methods: This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients underwent TKA in 2021-2022.
New lethal coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), currently, has been converted to a disastrous pandemic worldwide. As there has been found no definitive treatment for the infection in this review we focused on molecular aspects of coenzyme Q (CoQ) and possible therapeutic potencies of CoQ against COVID-19 and similar infections. This is a narrative review in which we used some authentic resources including PubMed, ISI, Scopus, Science Direct, Cochrane, and some preprint databases, the molecular aspects of CoQ effects, regarding to the COVID-19 pathogenesis, have been analyzed and discussed.
