Background: The coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and giant toxic nodular goiter is very rare. Moreover, PHPT could be easily overlooked because hyperthyroidism may also lead to hypercalcemia. A 99mTc-MIBI scan of the parathyroid glands is often negative when they are concomitant.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a rare case of the coexistence of giant toxic nodular goiter and PHPT that had been ignored for many years but was successfully treated with an ultrasound-guided parathyroid adenoma microwave ablation (MWA).
Conclusion: Reoperation for PHPT carries an increased risk of cure failure and complications. Thermal ablation has been proven effective in inactivating hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesions and in normalizing both serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium.

Coverage bias in small molecule machine learning.

Small molecule machine learning aims to predict chemical, biochemical, or biological properties from molecular structures, with applications such as toxicity prediction, ligand binding, and pharmacokinetics. A recent trend is developing end-to-end models that avoid explicit domain knowledge. These models assume no coverage bias in training and evaluation data, meaning the data are representative of the true distribution.

Article Synopsis
- Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are aggressive tumors often found in younger individuals, leading to long-term disability and typically managed via surgery, which has its own risks.
- This review focuses on systemic treatment options, particularly for the diffuse subtype (DT-TGCT), and assesses recent advancements and the historical context of these therapies.
- Notable progress includes the development of CSF1 receptor-targeting therapies like pexidartinib, paving the way for further research on treatment effectiveness and optimizing patient outcomes.
Therapeutic potential of the extract of giant millipede Telodeinopus Canaliculatus on epileptogenesis and associated anxiety-like behavior.

Article Synopsis
- * A study tested the oral toxicity of five common insecticides on four honey bee species, finding that the managed Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) showed the highest tolerance to these chemicals.
- * The wild species, particularly the giant (A. dorsata) and red dwarf honey bee (A. florea), were more sensitive to the pesticides, emphasizing the need for better pesticide risk assessments and regulations to protect various honey bee species.
