Objectives/hypothesis: To report surgical outcomes in a large series of patients with a history of thyroid cancer who underwent secondary central compartment surgery (SCCS).
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
Methods: The records of 44 patients who underwent 47 secondary central compartment surgeries for thyroid cancer were reviewed.
Results: Metastatic nodal disease was found in 59.6% (28) central neck compartments. Remnant thyroid tissue was removed from 17 necks. The rate of transient and permanent vocal cord paralysis per SCCS was 2.1% and 6.4%, respectively. Transient and permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 11.9% and 9.5% of cases, respectively.
Conclusions: SCCS is feasible but does carry some risk. The long-term implications of early intervention in this setting are still largely unknown and will warrant future research.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is selectively permeable, but it also poses significant challenges for treating CNS diseases. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LiFUS), paired with microbubbles is a promising, non-invasive technique for transiently opening the BBB, allowing enhanced drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS). However, the downstream physiological effects following BBB opening, particularly secondary responses, are not well understood.

(Shen) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a devastating insect pest species of , significantly affecting the yield and quality of tea. Due to growing concerns over the irrational use of insecticides and associated food safety, it is crucial to better understand the innate resistance mechanism of tea trees to . This study aims to explore the responses of tea trees to different levels of infestation.

Background/objectives: Inadequate micronutrient intakes are common in individuals with overweight/obesityand can exacerbate cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk. Diet and exercise are primary strategies for managing overweight and may influence nutrient intakes. In this secondary analysis of dietary data collected in a randomized controlled trial (RCT, ClinicalTrials.

Recognizing targets in infra-red images is an important problem for defense and security applications. A deployed network must not only recognize the known classes, but it must also reject any new or objects without confusing them to be one of the known classes. Our goal is to enhance the ability of existing (or pretrained) classifiers to detect and reject unknown classes.

Inflammation has always been considered a trigger or consequence of neurodegenerative diseases, and the inhibition of inflammation in the central nervous system can effectively protect nerve cells. Several studies have indicated that various natural products inhibit neuroinflammation. Among these, Antarctic fungal metabolites have pharmacological activities and a developmental value.
