The TNM classification of UICC is used for predicting the outcome of thyroid cancer. The 6th edition changed the description of primary tumor (T), regional lymph node (N) and the staging group. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of the 5th and the 6th editions to predict outcome. The two classifications were applied in a retrospective analysis of 90 patients from HUCFF. Sixty-nine patients had papillary carcinoma, 14 follicular, 4 Hürthle cell, and 3 mixed. Patients were followed for a mean period of 58.3 months. At the end of follow-up, 49 patients were disease-free, 23 persisted with disease, 4 had cervical recurrence, 11 had metastases and 3 died. According to the 6th edition, 19 patients were classified as T1, compared to 7 based on the 5th edition; 19 patients were T2 compared to 30; 14 were T3 compared to 10; 22 were T4 compared to 27, and 16 patients were Tx. Both editions showed comparable remissions for stages I, II, and III. For the stage IV there was a significant change in remission, however there was no difference comparing IV and IV C.

Background: Origami is a popular activity among preschool children and can be used by therapists as an evaluation tool to assess children's development in clinical settings. It is easy to implement, appealing to children, and time-efficient, requiring only simple materials-pieces of paper. Furthermore, the products of origami may reflect children's ages and their visual-motor integration (VMI) development.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of greater occipital nerve (GON) block and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment in chronic migraine patients. Seventy patients admitted to the Neurology and Algology outpatient clinic between September 2023 and December 2023 and diagnosed with chronic migraine according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd Edition (ICHD-3) criteria were included in the study. Patients were randomized into 2 groups to receive ultrasound-guided repeated GON block and PRF.

Visuomotor function impairment is commonly observed in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). In this case report, a 13-year-old child diagnosed with NF1 and impaired visuomotor skills participated in an 8-week tablet computer-based cognitive training for visuomotor function. The Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, 6th Edition (VMI-6) and the Korean Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale for Youth were administered before and after the intervention to assess effectiveness.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.
The Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Lab in Padua provided a new intellectual disability (ID) Panel challenge for computational methods to predict patient phenotypes and their causal variants in the context of the Critical Assessment of the Genome Interpretation, 6th edition (CAGI6). Eight research teams submitted a total of 30 models to predict phenotypes based on the sequences of 74 genes (VCF format) in 415 pediatric patients affected by Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs). NDDs are clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions, with onset in infant age.
