Introduction: Hyperthyroidism (HT) has been associated with no insignificant rates of thyroid malignancy. There are no current specific guidelines that suggest routine preoperative imaging for thyroid nodules in patients with Grave's disease. We therefore performed a systematic review assessing rates of thyroid malignancy in patients undergoing surgery for different causes of HT: Grave's disease (GD), toxic adenoma (TA) and toxic multinodular goitre (TMNG).
Methods: Major databases (MEDLINE, PubMed and the Cochrane library) were searched to identify eligible studies.
Results: After searching and appraising, 33 papers were found to be eligible for analysis. The mean overall rate of malignancy was 8.5% (range 0.8%-32.4%). The mean rates based on histological subtype were as follows: papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), 3.1% (range 0%-13.2%); micropapillary carcinoma (mPTC), 5.1% (range 0%-16.9%); and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), 0.8% (range 0%-4.4%). In those patients who had preoperative imaging, mean malignancy rates were higher in patients with pre-identified nodules (19.8%) compared to those without any nodules (8.7%). Mean rates were lower in patients with GD/diffuse goitre (5.9%) compared to patients with TA (6.5%) and TMNG (12%).
Conclusion: Hyperthyroidism is associated with notable rates of thyroid cancer, although the mechanisms for this are not clear. The presence of nodules increases this risk. This review raises the question for considering preoperative assessment of nodules in all patients undergoing surgery for HT, in order to correctly assess and evaluate any patients with suspected concurrent thyroid malignancy, before proceeding with surgery.

Agreement of zero-heat-flux thermometry compared with infrared tympanic temperature monitoring in adults undergoing major surgery.

Department of Otolaryngology, Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University, 212th Yuhua Road, Baoding, Hebei, China.
The patient's body temperature significantly fluctuates, affected by factors, including anesthesia. The ideal temperature monitoring method that is suitable for perioperative application is of great significance for identifying hypothermia and malignant hyperthermia early, as well as for guiding intraoperative temperature protection. This study aims to compare the cutaneous zero-heat-flux (ZHF) thermometer application in general anesthesia using the infrared tympanic measurement as a reference.

Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.

Background: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool to assess the overall health of older adults. There are few reports of CFS and prognosis of ankle fracture. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive power of the CFS for adverse clinical and radiographic outcomes after surgery in elderly patients with trimalleolar fractures.

Background: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establish a machine learning-based predictive model for POF following surgery of oral cancer.
Methods: A total of seven hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients undergoing radical resection of oral cancer were retrospectively investigated.

Background: Multiple studies have demonstrated that the abundance and functionality of γδ T cells are favorable prognostic indicators for prolonged survival in cancer patients. However, the association between the immunophenotype of circulating γδ T cells and the therapeutic response in NSCLC patients undergoing chemotherapy or targeted therapy remains unclear.
Methods: Patients with EGFR wild-type (EGFR-WT) or mutant (EGFR-Mut) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), diagnosed between January 2020 and January 2024, were included in this study.
