Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and ethanol ablation (EA) for treating locally recurrent thyroid cancer. Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for studies on the efficacy and safety of RFA and EA for treating locally recurrent thyroid cancer. The pooled proportions of the volume reduction ratio (VRR) ≥50%, complete disappearance, changes in serum level of thyroglobulin (Tg), recurrence, and complications were assessed using random-effects modeling. Heterogeneity among studies was determined using the chi-square statistic for the pooled estimates and the inconsistency index I(2). To overcome heterogeneity, sensitivity analysis was performed. Ten eligible studies were included, with a total sample size of 270 patients and 415 thyroid nodules. The pooled proportion of VRR ≥50% after RFA (100%, recalculated 100%; I(2) = 100%, recalculated I(2) = 55.3%) was higher than that after EA (89.5%; I(2) = 82.4%; p = 0.2764); the pooled proportion of complete disappearance after RFA (68.8%) was higher than that after EA (53.4%; p = 0.3384); and the pooled proportion of recurrence after RFA (0.0%) was lower than that after EA (2.4%, adjusted 1.6%; p = 0.9766). However, t...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
