Article Synopsis
  • Image-guided thermal ablation shows similar long-term disease progression and survival rates as lobectomy for patients with solitary papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).
  • * In a study involving 1,021 patients, no significant differences in complications, hospital stay, procedure time, or costs were found after matching the two treatment groups.
  • * Ablation had lower complication rates and required less time and resources, suggesting it may be a viable option for patients unwilling to undergo surgery.

Objectives: To assess the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) via a prospective multicenter study.

Methods: From January 2017 through June 2021, low-risk PTMC patients were screened. The management details of active surveillance (AS), surgery, and thermal ablation were discussed.

Objective: To report more than 5-year outcomes of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (TA) for patients with solitary low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a large multicenter cohort.

Background: TA, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) have been used in patients with low-risk PTMC who refuse surgery or active surveillance. However, its clinical value remains controversial.

We report a rare case of tertiary syphilis in a middle aged man who presented with a 6-month history of ulceration of his left eye with extreme pain. Physical examination revealed fistulas, granuloma with ulcer, and corneal opacity with granulomatous conjunctivitis in the left eye. Based on the patient's clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination results, neurosyphilis was diagnosed.

Article Synopsis
  • Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation, including microwave and radiofrequency ablation, is being studied as a treatment option for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) in a large patient cohort.
  • A retrospective analysis of 725 patients revealed significant tumor size reduction after the procedure, with 71% experiencing complete disappearance of tumors within six months.
  • Complications were relatively low, with 2.6% of patients affected, but the procedure proved to be an effective and safe alternative to surgery or active surveillance.

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have recently attracted interest as minimally invasive treatment modalities for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, the ablation outcomes of T1N0M0 PTC are not well characterized. Purpose To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation (MWA or RFA) of solitary T1N0M0 PTC in patients who were ineligible for (due to presence of comorbid cardiovascular disease, renal failure, other malignancy, etc) or who refused surgery.

Background: Ultrasound-guided thermal ablation plays an important role in the management of thyroid disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of thermal ablation for patients with solitary T1bN0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who are ineligible for or unwilling to undergo surgery.

Materials And Methods: Data pertaining to 172 patients (38 males and 134 females) who received thermal ablation therapy at 12 hospitals between April 2015 and March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: To observe the results of total hip replacement with collum femoris preserving for the treatment of advanced stage of femoral head necrosis of youth.

Methods: From August 2002 to November 2009, 21 patients (28 hips) with advanced stage of femoral head necrosis were treated with total hip replacement with collum femoris preserving. Sixteen males (22 hips) and 5 females (6 hips) with an average age of 36 years (range from 26 to 51 years) were included.
