Objective: There is limited evidence on long-term thrombosis risk in patients with obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS). This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and risk factors associated with the first thrombosis in patients with isolated OAPS.
Methods: Data from patients with isolated OAPS were collected. All patients were followed up until the first thrombotic event during or after delivery or until the end of the study. Logistic regression analysis identified independent risk factors associated with the first thrombosis in patients with isolated OAPS.
Results: The study enrolled 186 patients with OAPS. During a mean 5.4-year follow-up, 11 (5.9%) patients experienced thrombotic events. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis revealed that triple-positive antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs, OR=11.662, 95% CI=2.117 to 64.243, p=0.005) and hypocomplementemia (OR=9.047, 95% CI=1.530 to 53.495, p=0.015) were identified as independent risk factors for the first thrombosis in OAPS, after adjustment for low-dose aspirin and hydroxychloroquine.
Conclusions: Triple-positive aPLs and hypocomplementemia are risk factors for the first thrombosis in patients with OAPS.

The value of non-punctate echogenic foci in the ultrasonic diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
Endocrine
January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic value of different subtypes of non-punctate echogenic foci in thyroid malignancy.
Methods: Retrospective research of 342 thyroid nodules with calcification was performed. The echogenic foci were divided into punctate echogenic foci (type I) and non-punctate echogenic foci (type II), and type II were further divided into four subtypes: macrocalcification (type IIa), continuous peripheral calcification (type IIb), discontinuous peripheral calcification (type IIc) and isolated calcification (type IId).

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Ilsan Paik Hospital, Inje University College of Medicine, Goyang, Republic of Korea.
Background: Amiodarone is an effective anti-arrhythmic drug; however, it is frequently associated with thyroid dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factor of amiodarone-induced dysfunction in an iodine-sufficient area.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 27,023 consecutive patients treated with amiodarone for arrhythmia, using the Korean National Health Insurance database.
Physical Activity Amid a Pandemic: How Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors Shaped Behaviors During COVID-19.

Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR, 72205, USA.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant shifts in societal norms and individual behaviors, including changes in physical activity levels. This study examines the relationship between socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors and changes in physical activity levels during the pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels among adult Arkansans. Survey data were collected from 1,205 adult Arkansans in July and August 2020, capturing socioeconomic and sociodemographic characteristics and information on physical activity changes since the onset of the pandemic.

Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.
