In March 2018, a landslide in Hrvatska Kostajnica completely destroyed multiple households. The damage was extensive, and lives were endangered. The question remains: Can it happen again? To enhance the knowledge and understanding of the soil and rock behaviour before, during, and after this geo-hazard event, multi-level sensing technologies in landslide research were applied.

Aim: To ensure a more reliable classification system for the femur neck fractures by estimating pressure and tensile force on the fracture crevice.

Methods: The study compared the kappa coefficient for the inter and intraobserver agreement of the same five observers on the same radiographic sample of the femur neck fracture with a time gap of one year for the AO group and original proposal of estimated dominant pressure and tensile force on the femur neck fracture's crevice.

Results: The kappa coefficient for the AO group was 0.

Objectives: Since thyroglobulin, no new blood tests for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) have been introduced into routine clinical practice. In initial studies, the detection of circulating DTC cells by thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) mRNA measurement distinguished benign from malignant thyroid diseases. This prospective validation study tests the ability of TSHR mRNA to diagnose DTC preoperatively and to detect cancer recurrence.

Background: Circulating thyroid cancer cells detected by peripheral blood thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) mRNA have demonstrated usefulness for thyroid cancer diagnosis and long-term surveillance. The aim of this study was to determine detectability and clinical importance of TSHR mRNA in patients with microcarcinomas.

Methods: We compared clinical characteristics of 37 patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMC; tumor size View Article and Find Full Text PDF
