The Chinese Guidelines for Ultrasound-guided Thermal Ablation of Thyroid Nodules (2024 edition) were jointly initiated by the Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Medical Association, the Interventional Ultrasound Committee of Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering, the Ultrasonic Intervention Committee of Chinese Colleges of Interventionalists, the Oncological Intervention Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association, 37 multidisciplinary experts in interventional ultrasound, ultrasound medicine, endocrinology and thyroid surgery participated in the compilation of this guide, which expanded the depth and breadth of the perspective and enhanced the authority of the guide. Based on the systematic review of literatures related to ultrasound-guided thermal ablation of thyroid nodules and the professional opinions of experts, the guidelines define the indications and contraindications of thermal ablation, including pre-ablation evaluation and preparation, thermal ablation techniques and operational procedures, post-ablation follow-up, therapeutic effect evaluation, complications prevention and treatment, and the writing of medical documents for ablation. According to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), a total of 17 objective and comprehensive recommendations were given.

Clinical Problem: Ischemic stroke is the most common cause of disability in adults and an important disease for society; therefore, the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment play an important role. Endovascular mechanical recanalization to reopen large occlusions of the intracerebral vessels has established itself as the gold standard in therapy, which is why knowledge of the most important complications and their management is essential for interventionalists.
Practical Recommendations: Intracranial hemorrhages, which include intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages, are dreaded complications that significantly worsen the clinical outcome.

Background Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) belongs to an area of growing interest within cerebrovascular medicine as it refers to the concurrence of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) usually within 72 hours. A scenario where both the heart and brain sustain a catastrophic ischaemic insult can be devastating. We describe the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of CCI patients from a North London Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) over two years and propose a potential treatment algorithm for the treatment of CCI.

Chronic pelvic pain may cause a significant reduction in the quality of life for affected women, and the extent of the limitation is often underestimated. Chronic pain can lead to lifelong problems. Currently, PCS is probably significantly underdiagnosed as a cause of chronic pelvic pain in women.

We report two cases of successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion with an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (AORCA) and challenging guiding catheter engagement using a new 3D virtual reality (VR) guiding catheter simulation system. Appropriate guiding catheter selection is critical for a successful complex PCI. A more suitable guiding catheter size, shape, and position with a robust backup force often leads to the successful completion of more accessible and safer procedures.
