Aim: To investigate the prognostic value of pre-ablation stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg) in children and adolescents with persistent differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) following initial radioiodine therapy (RAI).
Materials & Methods: Patients were classified into "no clinical evidence of disease" (NED), "biochemical persistent disease" (BPD), and "structural/functional persistent disease" (S/FPD) groups, based on their therapeutic response to initial RAI. BPD patients were further categorized as incomplete response (IR) or Non-IR; S/FPD patients were categorized as remission or Non-remission.

Background: The clinical features and prognosis of children and adolescents with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (caDTC) are different from that of adults. Postoperative radioiodine therapy (RIT) was recommended for some intermediate and high risk caDTC patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognosis of pediatric caDTC patients with different responses to initial RIT and to explore the related influencing factors.

Purpose: Cancer is one of the deadliest pathologies with more than 19 million new cases and 10 million cancer-related deaths across the globe. Despite development of advanced therapeutic interventions, cancer remains as a fatal pathology due to lack of early prognostic biomarkers, therapy resistance and requires identification of novel drug targets.
Methods: Runt-related transcription factors (Runx) family controls several cellular and physiological functions including osteogenesis.

Objectives: To provide a concise review of knowledge and practice pertaining to the diagnosis and initial management of unanticipated adult patient disorders of consciousness (DoC) by the general intensivist.
Data Sources: Detailed search strategy using PubMed and OVID Medline for English language articles describing adult patient acute DoC diagnostic evaluation and initial management strategies including indications for transfer.
Study Selection: Descriptive and interventional studies that address acute adult DoC, their evaluation and initial management, indications for transfer, as well as outcome prognostication.

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) disrupts the integrity of white matter microstructure, which affects brain functional connectivity supporting cognitive function. Although the relationship between structural and functional connectivity (SC and FC), here called SC-FC coupling, has been studied on global level in brain disorders, the long-term disruption of SC-FC coupling in mTBI at regional scale was still unclear. The current study investigated the alteration pattern of regional SC-FC coupling in 104 acute mTBI patients (41 with 6-12 months of follow-up) and 56 healthy controls (HCs).
