The Effect of Thyrotropin Suppression on Survival Outcomes in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Long-term management of intermediate- and high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) involves thyrotropin (TSH) suppression with thyroid hormone to prevent potential stimulation of TSH receptors on DTC cells, leading to tumor growth. However, the current guidelines recommending TSH suppression are based on low- to moderate-quality evidence. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating the role of TSH suppression in intermediate- and high-risk DTC patients (≥18 years) treated as per regional guideline-based therapy with a follow-up duration of 5 years (PROSPERO #252396).

The "Partial Innocence" Effect: False Guilty Pleas to Partially Unethical Behaviors.

Although research has focused on the "innocence problem," "partial innocence" may also plague individuals who plead guilty to crimes they did not commit, but that are either comparable, more severe, or less severe than their actual crimes. Using a high-stake experimental paradigm and an immersive role-playing paradigm, we examined the psychology of partial innocence. Students were randomly induced (or imagined themselves) to be innocent, guilty, or partially innocent of committing an academic transgression and then given the choice to accept or reject a deal to avoid disciplinary sanction.

Advice and perspectives from navigating the couples match in otolaryngology: A qualitative pilot study.

Introduction: There is a lack of qualitative analysis of the personal experiences within Couples Matching. In this qualitative study, we aim to record personal attitudes, reflections, and advice on experiences with the Couples Match process.

Methods: Our survey, consisting of two open-ended questions regarding the experience of Couples Matching, was distributed from January 2022 to March 2022 via email to 106 otolaryngology program directors across the nation.

Symptom profiles and illness course among Anabaptist and Non-Anabaptist adults with major mood disorders.

Background: Anabaptists comprise large and growing Amish and Mennonite populations with a unique genetic heritage and cultural background. Little is known about the symptoms and course of major mood disorders in Anabaptists. Even less is known about the impact of potential moderators on symptom severity and course.

Neurocognitive functioning in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder and unaffected relatives: A review of the literature.

Background: Neurocognitive deficits are present in bipolar disorder (BD) patients and their unaffected (nonbipolar) relatives, but it is not clear which domains are most often impaired and the extent of the impairment resulting from shared genetic factors. In this literature review, we address these issues and identify specific neurocognitive tasks most sensitive to cognitive deficits in patients and unaffected relatives.

Method: We conducted a systematic review in Web of Science, PubMed/Medline and PsycINFO databases.
