Objective: To elucidate the role of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in determining whether to request an operation.
Study Design: Twenty-four consecutive patients (23 women and 1 man) with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with nodular lesions revealed by ultrasonography were included in the study. Ultrasound-guided FNAC was performed on their thyroid tissue compatible with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and nodular lesions.
Results: Two of 24 patients (8.3%) had papillary thyroid cancer, which was diagnosed from aspirates of 31 nodular lesions and confirmed by operative pathologic findings.
Conclusion: If a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis has nodular lesions shown by ultrasonography, ultrasound-guided FNAC is helpful in elucidating the nature of the lesion and determining whether to request an operation.

Background Acute Hepatic Porphyria is a group of four rare genetic but treatable diseases that often go undiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms, under-recognition of the condition by clinicians, and the lack of access to specialists and appropriate testing. This case-control study investigates the phenotypic and demographic patterns in Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP) patients at a tertiary care center (University of California Los Angeles) to update recommendations for recognition and diagnosis of this disease in our community. Method A retrospective chart analysis was conducted on 45 patients who were evaluated for AHP, Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data was collected and analyzed to investigate clinical differences and correlations.

Chronic pain is commonly recognized as a distressing symptom or a standalone disease, with over half of those affected experiencing cognitive impairment, which significantly impacts their quality of life. Despite a recent surge in literature on cognitive impairment associated with chronic pain, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field has yet to be conducted. In this study, we performed a bibliometric analysis on this topic.

Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between ultra-processed foods (UPFs) consumption and gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 362 participants with T2D. UPFs consumption was assessed using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire, quantified as the density of UPFs intake (g/1000 kcal).
