Article Synopsis
- Thyroid metastasis from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is uncommon, leading to potential misdiagnosis by ultrasound doctors.
- The study presents three cases of patients who developed thyroid metastasis years after kidney removal surgery, with symptoms ranging from hoarseness to goiter-related breathing difficulties.
- Recommendations include regular thyroid check-ups for ccRCC survivors, performing fine-needle aspiration biopsies on suspicious nodules, and considering core needle biopsies if initial results are inconclusive.
The association between glucose variability (GV) and adverse perioperative outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients undergoing orthopedic surgery was investigated. A retrospective cohort study was performed by analyzing data on T2DM patients receiving continuous blood glucose (BG) monitoring and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion treatment due to poorly controlled preoperative BG prior to orthopedic surgery. GV was assessed with coefficient of variation (CV).

Methods: Sixty-nine patients with interstitial lung disease admitted in Zhujiang Hospital between January, 2010 and April, 2016, including 29 with CTD-ILD and 40 with non-CTD-ILD were analyzed for plasma levels of hs-CRP, fibriogen and D-DI, with 25 healthy subjects as the control group.
Results: The plasma level of hs-CRP, fibriogen and D-DI in patients with CTD-ILD and non-CTD-ILD were all significantly higher than those in the control group.
