Article Synopsis
- Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are challenging bone tumors primarily affecting younger individuals, with low survival rates even after various treatment approaches.
- Current research on targeted therapies and immunotherapies has been ineffective, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of the tumor biology and the immune microenvironment.
- A new Europe-wide framework for systematic sampling and analysis of patient samples has been proposed, supported by international consortia aiming to set guidelines that will enhance research collaboration and ultimately improve treatment outcomes.

Eur Thyroid J
April 2024
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Larissa University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common condition with a global estimated prevalence of 60 million cases, and the most common cardiac complication of hyperthyroidism, occurring in 5-15% of overtly hyperthyroid patients. Additionally, subclinical hyperthyroidism and high-normal free T4 have been associated with an increased risk in the development of AF. Hyperthyroidism-related AF is a reversible cause of AF, and the majority of patients spontaneously revert to sinus rhythm in 4-6 months during or after restoration of euthyroidism.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. Radiology has traditionally played a central role in HCC management, ranging from screening of high-risk patients to non-invasive diagnosis, as well as the evaluation of treatment response and post-treatment follow-up. From liver ultrasonography with or without contrast to dynamic multiple phased CT and dynamic MRI with diffusion protocols, great progress has been achieved in the last decade.
