Objective: Extant imaging methods used for the proper identification of the parathyroid glands to prevent post-operative hypothyroidism associated with the resection of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are limited by factors such as low specificity, high cost, and technical complexity. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the efficacy of the immunocolloidal gold strip method combined with nanocarbon negative imaging tracing technology for parathyroid gland imaging during radical resection of DTC in elderly patients.
Methods: A total of 100 elderly patients with DTC were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a standardized psychological intervention to help reduce distress in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) undergoing radioactive iodine treatment.
- Patients were split into an intervention group, receiving standard care plus psychological support, and a control group, only receiving routine care.
- Results showed that those in the intervention group reported significantly lower scores for depression, anxiety, and fatigue, along with higher positive feelings, indicating that psychological intervention effectively improved their mental well-being.
