Between 1970-1995 because of thyroid carcinoma 105 children were diagnosed or treated by radioiodine at the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology and Cancer Center in Gliwice, 101 of them with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). All children were operated, in 91% by total thyroidectomy. Papillary carcinoma was diagnosed in 73% of children, follicular cancer in 27%. Lymph node metastases were present in 58.5%. Complementary radioiodine was given to 62 children--to 44 children for thyroid ablation, to 18 for complementary treatment of lymph node metastases. Very good outcome of combined surgical and radioiodine treatment was observed in 95% of children. Post-therapy scans revealed pulmonary micrometastases in 3 patients. Twelve children with pulmonary metastases were treated by radioiodine. Complete remission was observed after radioiodine therapy in 9 of them, in others the treatment is continued.

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a disease with an etiology and pathogenesis that are still not fully understood, and it represents a great challenge. It is characterized by a variable course, spontaneous remissions and relapses. The inability to rely entirely on antibodies and the continuous threat of a malignant disease make the differentiation of MN types extremely difficult.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass and damaged bone microstructure, often leading to fragility fractures. Low bone mineral density is a key risk factor for fractures. Serum cystatin C (CysC), an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate, is negatively correlated with bone mineral density and may be a potential risk factor for osteoporosis.

Objectives: To develop a deep learning (DL) model based on ultrasound (US) images of lymph nodes for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in postoperative patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).
Methods: Retrospective collection of 352 lymph nodes from 330 patients with cytopathology findings between June 2021 and December 2023 at our institution. The database was randomly divided into the training and test cohort at an 8:2 ratio.

Breast cancer is a prevalent and highly heterogeneous malignancy that continues to be a major global health concern. Voltage-gated sodium channels are primarily known for their role in neuronal excitability, but emerging evidence suggests their involvement in the pathogenesis of various cancers, including breast cancer. However, the effect of β-subunits on breast cancer cells is not yet studied.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disease that is believed but not confirmed to have an autoimmune origin. Since its discovery nearly two decades ago, our understanding of its pathophysiology and clinical manifestations has grown substantially. Early diagnosis and treatment of this elusive disease can prevent substantial organ damage from end-stage fibrosis.
