Abstract

To assess the association between the topographic and sonographic laterality of the thyroid nodules and the malignancy for those who had undergone ultrasonography (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) (US-FNA) and following relevant indicated thyroidectomy. A retrospective analysis from April 2011 to October 2015 was conducted by enrolling the documents of 501 consecutive eligible patients with 601 thyroid nodules who had undergone neck US, Doppler US, and US-FNA. The prediction of malignancy by means of laterality of 95 thyroid nodules with undetermined cytology on the basis of the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) was evaluated histopathologically with comparison of three locations, separately. Six hundred and one nodules in 501 cases were studied and 249 nodules (49.8%) were topographically located at the right lobe (Location 1/Loc1), while 255 (42.4%) at the left lobe (Location 2/Loc2), 46 (7.7%) at the isthmus (Location 3/Loc3), and 1 (0.2%) was an accessory thyroid gland (Location 4/Loc4). Three different comparisons were performed regarding the locations, which revealed that the specificity did not change regarding the locations while the sensitivity of Loc3 was higher than that of Loc1 and ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
