Abstract Microwave ablation (MWA) has emerged as a minimally invasive technique, transforming the therapeutic landscape for benign thyroid nodules (BTN), papillary microcarcinoma (PTMC), and cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM). This study aims to present first experience in Ecuador using MWA. We included adults undergoing MWA BTN, PTMC, CLNM between September 2022 April 2023. Descriptive statistics Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used compare some pre- post-intervention outcomes. Fourteen...

Abstract Otitis media, a common disease marked by the presence of fluid within middle ear space, imparts significant global health and economic burden. Identifying an effusion through tympanic membrane is critical to diagnostic success but remains challenging due inherent limitations visible light otoscopy user interpretation. Here we describe powerful approach otitis media utilizing advancements in machine learning. We developed otoscope that visualizes structures shortwave infrared region,...
Otitis media (OM) or middle ear infection is one of the most common diseases in young children around world. The diagnosis OM currently performed using an otoscope to detect fluid and inflammatory changes manifested tympanic membrane. However, conventional otoscopy cannot visualize across membrane sample fluid. This can lead low diagnostic certainty overdiagnoses OM. To improve OM, we have developed a short-wave infrared (SWIR) combination with protease-cleavable biosensor, 6QC-ICG, which...

: Amyloid goiter (AG) is a rare cause of thyroid swelling, characterized by deposits amyloid protein in the tissue. It can be associated with primary or secondary amyloidosis. Its prevalence multinodular cases 0.17%, clinical detection before surgery.
The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased worldwide. Ecuador presents the highest among Latin American countries and second around world. Genetic alteration is driving force for tumorigenesis progression. change from valine (V) to glutamic acid (E) at codon 600 BRAF gene (BRAFVal600Glu) most commonly reported mutation in cancer. Moreover, not only that been correlated with TC. For instance, mutations overexpression KIT associated different types cancer, including lung colon...
