Background: Microwave ablation is a new, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of thyroid nodules. Hyperthyroidism due to destructive thyroiditis is a known risk of microwave ablation, though it occurs in only a minority of cases. We report a rare case of a patient diagnosed with Graves' disease nearly six months after undergoing microwave ablation of a thyroid nodule.

Objectives: In the current clinical practice of thermal ablation treatment for liver tumors, achieving consistent and effective clinical outcomes across tumors of varying shapes, sizes and locations remains challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repeatability of a novel robotic approach for configurable ablation of distinct tumor shapes and compare it to the standard ablation technique for creating ellipsoidal ablation volumes.
Materials And Methods: The repeatability was evaluated in terms of width variability in created ablation volumes.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of thermal ablation for treating Bethesda IV thyroid nodules, which are classified as follicular neoplasms.
- A comprehensive literature review identified five significant studies, revealing that thermal ablation led to substantial volume reduction of nodules, with notable volume reduction rates (VRR) of 85% at 12 months.
- The treatment was shown to be safe, with a low complication rate of 4%, mostly involving minor issues like pain and hoarseness, indicating thermal ablation is a reliable option for this condition.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with tumour markers in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing microwave ablation (MWA).
Methods: MWA patients with HCC were divided into good prognosis (n = 75) and poor prognosis (n = 69) groups. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carbohydrate antigen (CA19-9), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) before and after MWA were analysed using an independent sample t-test.
Laser ablation syntheses of OThS and OCeS and their characterization by rotational spectroscopy.

For the first time, rotational constants along with centrifugal distortion constants have been determined for OThS and OCeS. The rotational spectra of these molecules and, in each case, one other isotopologue (OThS and OCeS) were produced utilizing a laser ablation sourcing technique incorporated into a chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectrometer operating in the 8 to 18 GHz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The bent structures determined are in very good agreement with theoretical calculations.
