The natural history of cytologically low-risk indeterminate thyroid nodules.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, 27100 Pavia, Italy.
Background: Thyroid nodules classified cytologically as low-risk indeterminate lesions (TIR3A) on fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) present a clinical challenge due to their uncertain malignancy risk. This single-center study aimed to evaluate the natural history of TIR3A nodules.
Materials And Methods: FNABs performed between July 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively retrieved and patients with TIR3A nodules were evaluated at baseline and throughout a follow-up based on ultrasound (US) parameters and clinical data.
Economic impact of initial glaucoma treatment with selective laser trabeculoplasty on the Brazilian Public Health System.
Arq Bras Oftalmol
January 2025
Discipline of Health Management and Economics, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: To evaluate the economic impact of the following initial treatment scenarios for glaucoma on the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS): (1) traditional continuous instillation of hypotensive eye drops and (2) single session of selective laser trabeculoplasty.
Methods: Economic impact was analyzed in three scenarios, from the least to the most conservative, for a hypothetical cohort of 5,000 individuals with open-angle glaucoma. Thereafter, projections were made on the basis of a glaucoma prevalence of 3% in the 2021 Brazilian population size.
Frontal Sinus Volume in Normocephalic Nonsyndromic Sagittal Craniosynostosis: A Comparative Study.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, University of Mississippi Medical Center.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate frontal sinus volume as a potential indicator of cranial compensatory growth in unoperated normocephalic nonsyndromic sagittal craniosynostosis (NNSC) patients compared with age-matched and sex-matched controls. Previous studies have suggested that frontal sinus volume is suppressed in unoperated craniosynostosis and may be an intracranial space conservation phenomenon.
Methods: Head computed tomographies (CTs) from 22 unoperated NNSC patients at our institution were utilized in this study and matched with age-matched and sex-matched control subjects.
Incidence, risk factors and endoscopic retrieval of proximally migrated pancreatic stents: 25 years of experience in a high-volume center - a case controlled study.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University, Shanghai, China.
Background And Aim: Proximal migration is one of the complications after pancreatic stenting. This study aims to determine the incidence, risk factors and endoscopic treatment of proximally migrated pancreatic stents.
Methods: A retrospective search of all the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) records was conducted from 1997 to 2022 in our tertiary center.
Lumbar intervertebral disc calcification with massive herniation: a case report.
J Int Med Res

Department of Orthopaedics, Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine; Key Laboratory of Musculoskeletal System Degeneration and Regeneration Translational Research of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, China.
An 18-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of low back pain, which had worsened and was accompanied by radiating pain in the right lower limb for half a month. She was admitted to our hospital with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings suggesting calcification of the L3/4 disc and a large intraspinal mass at the L2-4 level. The patient's symptoms did not improve with conservative treatment, and her muscle strength rapidly declined.
