Molecular testing contributes to improving the diagnosis of indeterminate thyroid nodules (ITNs). ThyroidPrint® is a ten-gene classifier aimed rule out malignancy in ITN. Post-validation studies are necessary determine real-world clinical benefit patients with A single-center, prospective, noninterventional utility study was performed, analyzing impact physicians' decisions for Demographics, nodule characteristics, benign call rates (BCRs), and surgical outcomes were measured....
Recently, functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) was applied to obtain, non-invasively, the human peri-spinal Neuro-Vascular Response (NVR) under a non-noxious electrical stimulation of peripheral nerve. This method allowed measurements changes in concentration oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) from vascular network. However, there is lack clarity about potential differences perispinal NVR recorded by different fNIRS technologies currently available. In this work, two...
Current medical care lacks an effective functional evaluation for the spinal cord. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography mainly provide structural information of cord, while somatosensory evoked potentials are limited by a low signal to noise ratio. We developed non-invasive approach based on near-infrared spectroscopy in dual-wavelength (760 850 nm deoxy- or oxyhemoglobin respectively) record neurovascular response (NVR) peri-spinal vascular network at 7th cervical 10th...
<h3>Background:</h3> In Chile, since 2016, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can apply to receive state-funded biological or JAK inhibitor treatment if they have failed (defined as a DAS28-ESR persistently greater than 5.1) the combination of three synthetic DMARDs (including methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, and/or hydroxychloroquine), used for at least 6 months. <h3>Objectives:</h3> Our objective was evaluate two-year persistence first biologic in this group patients, and...
We describe a 67-year-old woman with postmenopausal bleeding having ceased estrogen plus progestogen therapy nine months before. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed endometrial thickening normal ovarian appearance. Hormonal studies revealed high estradiol and inhibin B levels but androgens adrenal hormones. Magnetic resonance image demonstrated 13-mm left tumour. Hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed, the pathological study an 8 mm thecoma. This case illustrates very...
Classification of growth hormone (GH) - secreting tumors by the granular pattern might predict their clinical behavior in acromegalic patients. There are several other prognostic factors.To compare features at presentation and cure rates patients with GH according to pattern, define independent factors for surgical treatment these patients.A retrospective, observational study 85 active surgically treated two medical centers.Seventy-four (87%) were classified as having densely granulated (DG)...
