AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the unclear relationship between insulin resistance and thyroid nodules in non-diabetic patients, analyzing data from 410 patients at an Internal Medicine outpatient clinic.
- - Out of the reviewed patients, 216 were non-diabetic and were divided into two groups: 105 had thyroid nodules and 110 did not, with findings indicating a higher insulin resistance measurement and greater cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the nodule group.
- - A significant positive correlation was found between insulin resistance and the presence of thyroid nodules, suggesting that insulin resistance could be linked to nodule formation, although further research is needed to confirm these results.
Article Abstract
The relationship between insulin resistance and thyroid nodules is not clearly understood. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between insülin resistance and thyroid nodules in non-diabetic patients. 410 patients who applied to the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic from June 2018 to July 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 216 non-diabetic patients were divided into two groups. The relationship of 105 patients with thyroid nodules and 110 patients without thyroid nodules with insulin resistance was investigated. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance value, serum triglycerides and total cholesterol level, and the ratio of women were higher in the group with thyroid nodules (p < 0.05). There was a positive and significant relationship between homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance value and thyroid nodules (r + 0.29, p < 0.05). In non-diabetic thyroid nodule patients, a significant relationship was detected between nodule formation and insulin resistance. However, these data must be confirmed by other studies in the future.

Clinical Characteristics and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation in the Patients with the Diagnosis of Resistance to Thyroid Hormone Beta.
J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol

Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: Resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) is a rare disorder characterized by a fairly heterogeneous clinical presentation due to varying degrees of tissue response to thyroid hormone. The study aimed to evaluate the clinical, laboratory features and genotype-phenotype relationship of Turkish patients with RTHβ.
Methods: Patients who underwent a THRB gene analysis between September 2019 and September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
Parathyroid adenoma is a common endocrine disorder, but its intrathyroid presentation is relatively rare. The traditional approach, such as thyroid blind lobectomy, is the most frequent modality of treatment due to the possible unclear localization of the adenoma in the preoperative workup. This increases the risk of unnecessary probability of hypothyroidism.

Background: With increased early detection efforts, surgery for early-stage lung cancer is expected to rise. Pafolacianine is the first FDA approved targeted optical imaging agent indicated as an adjunct for intraoperative identification of malignant and nonmalignant pulmonary lesions in adult patients with known or suspected cancer in the lung.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of the malignant and nonmalignant lesions identified by pafolacianine with intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) in the multi-center Phase 2 and Phase 3 ELUCIDATE clinical trials.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in diagnosing thyroid nodules larger than 3 cm, emphasizing its significance for treatment decisions.* -
- Researchers reviewed patient records from 2018 to 2023, focusing on those who underwent thyroid surgery, categorizing them by nodule size to analyze FNAB outcomes.* -
- Results indicated that larger nodules (≥4 cm) had a higher rate of malignancy and more false negatives in FNAB, stressing the need for careful evaluation in surgical planning.*
