Objective: The mainstay therapy of hypothyroidism is levothyroxine (LT4). In most cases lifelong treatment is warranted, therefore, choosing adequate doses are of paramount significance. The purpose of this study was to assess several factors that have been proposed to influence LT4 therapy including etiology of hypothyroidism, gender, age, bodyweight, BMI, concomitant drug use, disease severity and time since diagnosis in patients with stable, adequately controlled hypothyroidism.

We hypothesized that nodule echogenicity alone may provide comparable performance to more complex approaches in patient selection for FNA.
Patients And Methods: Seven highly experienced investigators from four countries evaluated, online, the ultrasound (US) video recordings of 123 histologically verified TN by answering 17 nodule characteristics-related questions.
Article Synopsis
- Widespread use of sensitive imaging techniques has led to the detection of many thyroid nodules, most of which are benign and don’t require treatment.
- When cancer is diagnosed, it is often in the form of small, low-risk tumors that can be managed conservatively.
- New guidelines have been created to help doctors approach the assessment and management of thyroid nodules in adults while considering patient preferences and building on previous research.
The aim of our analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of cabozantinib in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Cabozantinib therapy initiated between 01/01/2019 and 31/12/2022 was evaluated based on a retrospective review of data from 14 renal centers in Hungary. The starting dose was 60 or 40 mg.

Few studies on interobserver variation are available, all of which are based on analysis of preselected still ultrasound images and often lack surgical confirmation.
Methods: After the blinded online evaluation of video recordings of the ultrasound examinations of 47 consecutive malignant and 76 consecutive benign thyroid lesions, 7 experts from 7 thyroid centers answered 17 TIRADS-related questions.
