To determine the cancer risk in thyroid nodules using ACR TI-RADS. A retrospective analysis of all thyroid biopsies was performed over a 3-year period (2021 to 2023). Variables including gender, age, history of thyroid cancer or neck irradiation, nodule size and location, TR level, and sonographic features such as punctate echogenic foci (PEF), a very hypoechoic appearance, taller-than-wide shape, and suspected extrathyroidal extension were analyzed.

The fibroblastic sleeve is a structure potentially enveloping any intravascular device. At ultrasound scan, it typically presents as a thin layer of variably echogenic material covering the catheter surface, which usually tends to remain into the vessel after the catheter removal. However, several case reports have documented its migration toward the heart or pulmonary artery after a central venous catheter removal.

The incidence of asymptomatic thyroid nodules has risen enormously, with > 90% being benign. Despite limited long-term data, significant nodule growth (SNG) is common. Guidelines recommend cytology reevaluation if SNG occurs.

Background: Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis is an autoimmune thyroid disorder and the most common cause of hypothyroidism in women. Many studies suggest that chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis contributes to a diagnostic challenge in thyroid nodules and may increase the risk of developing papillary thyroid cancer. This study examines preoperative clinical factors and tumor characteristics associated with papillary thyroid cancer among patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

Article Synopsis
- Advanced chronic kidney disease affects muscle health, making it important to find effective ways to assess muscle quality before kidney transplants.
- Musculoskeletal ultrasound, particularly measuring rectus femoris (RF) echogenicity, shows promise in identifying muscle weakness and quality issues in patients waiting for kidney transplants.
- In a study of 112 patients, a RF echogenicity cut-off of 70 demonstrated good sensitivity but moderate specificity for detecting quadriceps weakness, indicating an increased risk in patients with greater echogenicity.
