Only few studies analysed the capability of cytology in detecting medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and they reported a low accuracy this diagnostic technique. Recently, calcitonin (CT) measurement aspiration needle washout (FNA-CT) neck lesions has been as sensitive tool for MTC. The aim study is to compare sensitivity FNA-CT MTC assess cut-off value clinical practice.Thirty-eight from 36 patients were retrospectively studied, diagnosed treated four different centres. Furthermore, 52...
The reported reliability of core needle biopsy (CNB) is high in assessing thyroid nodules after inconclusive fine-needle aspiration (FNA) attempts. However, first-line use CNB for considered at risk by ultrasonography (US) has yet to be studied. aim this study were: 1) evaluate the potential merit using instead conventional FNA with suspicious ultrasonographic features; 2) compare and as a diagnostic procedure lesions higher cancer. Seventy-seven patients suspicious-appearing, recently...
Background. Fatty liver index (FLI) is a non-invasive tool used to stratify the risk of non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) in population studies; whether it can be exclude or diagnose this disorder unclear. We conducted meta-analysis assess prevalence NAFLD each FLI class and performance detecting NAFLD. Methods. Four databases were searched until January 2021 (CRD42021231367). Original articles included those reporting adopting ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance as...
Poor prognosis of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with suspicious ultrasound (US) features has been reported. The aim the study was to investigate association between preoperative US presentation and aggressiveness MTC. Also, MTC were compared those previously Study group comprised 134 from nine different centers. Based on nodules stratified in “at risk for malignancy” (m-MTC) or “probably benign” (b-MTC) lesions. Eighty (66.4%) m-MTC 45 (33.6%) b-MTC found. Metastatic lymph nodes (p =...
Puberty influences both the performance and hormonal responses to exercise-related stress. We evaluated distribution correlation between pubertal characteristics salivary cortisol (sC) testosterone (sT) acute physical exercise in young male athletes (13.4 +/- 2.1 yr, n = 110). The mean pre-exercise nmol . L (-1) sC sT concentrations were 19.08 4.32 0.34 0.15 increased 21.27 5.51 0.41 0.16 after a 90-min training session (p < 0.01). concentration at rest was positively correlated with...
In thyroid nodule management, ultrasound (US) features, such as hypoechogenicity of the lesion, irregular margins, microcalcifications, and intralesional vascular signal, alone or combined, have to be considered suggestive for malignancy. Because low prevalence medullary cancer (MTC), a few papers analyzed US characteristics associated with this in small series, controversial results. Aim study was evaluate MTC risk factors nodule. order, series nodules histologically proven group histology...
BRAF(V600E) is the most frequent genetic mutation in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and has been reported as an independent predictor of poor prognosis these patients. Current guidelines do not recommend use mutational analysis on cytologic specimens from fine needle aspiration due to several reasons. Recently, immunohistochemistry using VE1, a mouse anti-human antibody, highly reliable technique detecting BRAF-mutated nonthyroid cancers. The aim this study was test reliability VE1...
