Although the importance of tumor size in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is well established, there no research investigating whether age modifies impact size, and conflicting evidence regarding optimal thresholds for prognostic discrimination. We aimed to verify that an independent factor PTC, investigate patient age, identify cutoffs risk stratification using objective measures model performance.A retrospective analysis 574 patients with multivariate Cox regression models test on...

Background: Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and Hurthle cell (HCC) are rare aggressive cancers with limited published data comparing their outcomes or regarding subtypes. The aim of this study was to describe clinicopathological features compare clinical patients FTC HCC based on the 2017 World Health Organization definition extent vascular invasion (VI).

Abstract Background The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) removed microscopic extrathyroidal extension (ETE) from the 8th edition T staging for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) based increasing evidence that it is not an independent prognostic factor. Objectives We compared performance of AJCC 7th (pT7) and (pT8) stage systems, particularly in patients ≥55 years old without macroscopic ETE or distant metastases whom classification affects Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) stage. Method A...

Abstract Stormwater best management practices have helped to address environmental concerns regarding peak water flows and accumulation of sediment contamination by pollutants, but often overlook potential public health repercussions such as creating habitat for virus-carrying mosquitoes. Retention ponds frequently hold standing more than two weeks during the mosquito breeding season, development aquatic stages West Nile virus vectors. To avoid this problem, knowledge vector ecology should...

INTRODUCTION: Practical targets for glycemic control are unclear. This study examines associations between different proportions of abnormal self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) values and adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort women undergoing SMBG 1/1/2011-12/31/2016. Four weeks initiated before 32 with at least 50% expected present were required. Women type 1 diabetes or major congenital anomalies excluded. The primary outcome was composite stillbirth,...
