Published: September 2024

Background: We performed a bibliometric study to identify the most-cited publications in MTC research and demonstrate how they highlight the most important historical developments in this area.

Methods: Bibliometric data from papers published on the topic of MTC until December 31, 2022 was extracted from the Web of Science database. Analysis was performed utilizing Bibliometrix and VOSViewer software.

Results: There has been a gradual increase in the number of publications on the topic of MTC over the years. The most cited publications focused on the underlying genetic basis for MTC, the use of targetted therapy, and guidelines. Recent research frontiers have focused on management, guidelines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Conclusion: Bibliometric study of the topic of MTC has allowed for identification, characterization and appreciation of many of the key historical developments in this field. Bibliometric analysis can also be helpful in identifying research frontiers.

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) printing produces objects by adding layers of material rather than mechanically reducing material. This production technology has several advantages and has been used in various medical fields to, for instance, improve the planning of complicated operations, customize medical devices, and enhance medical education. However, few existing studies focus on the adoption and the aspects that could influence or hinder the adoption of 3D printing.

Management of medullary thyroid cancer based on variation of carcinoembryonic antigen and calcitonin.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

October 2024

Medizinische Klinik und Poliklinik IV, Klinikum der Universität München, Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, Munich, Germany.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and calcitonin (Ctn) are pivotal biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). However, their diagnostic reliability in perioperative period remains a topic of ongoing debate. This review synthesizes researches on perioperative fluctuations in CEA and Ctn levels, and evaluates the impact of their different combinations on MTC diagnosis, treatment decisions, and prognosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Clinical communication for major trauma patients (MTP) is complex, requiring effective interaction between patients and healthcare teams due to the physical and emotional challenges faced during recovery.
  • Through qualitative interviews with 20 MTPs, three key themes emerged: barriers to effective communication, emotional responses to interactions with staff, and the necessity for tailored communication strategies.
  • Patients expressed difficulty in voicing concerns due to feelings of vulnerability and confusion, and emphasized the need for improved training for healthcare professionals to enhance their communication skills and address psychological needs effectively.
