The effect of obesity on the development/progression of thyroid nodules with uncertain cytology is unknown. Therefore, our objective was to assess the role of body mass index (BMI) in predicting malignancy in patients with atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) nodules. We retrospectively analyzed 113 patients with available BMI data and final histopathology of benign or differentiated thyroid cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Accurate weight assessment is crucial for pediatric medication dosing but is challenging in prehospital settings, making medication errors common; two systems, the Handtevy method and Broselow tape, aid EMS providers in weight estimation and dosing.
- This study aimed to evaluate how well these methods work in real-life scenarios by analyzing data from EMS transport of pediatric patients to a children's hospital between January and June 2021.
- Findings showed that the Broselow method estimated patient weight accurately within +/-10% of the ED scale in 51.3% of cases, while the Handtevy method did so in 43.7%; no significant differences were observed between the two methods.
