Objective: Assessing the 6-month efficacy of combined high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation with percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in benign thyroid nodules by comparing it with HIFU ablation alone.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a promising treatment for benign thyroid nodules but single application is less effective in larger-sized nodules. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of two sequential applications in larger-sized OBJECTIVE
To evaluate clinical aspects and imaging features of complications encountered in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules with radiofrequency (RF) ablation.
METHODS
Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study, and informed consent was waived. From June
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction, which is mainly manifested as memory impairment and a reduced ability to self-care, often accompanied by neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders. Donepezil is the second drug to Hiccups differential diagnosis is a challenging one often being inconclusive and sometimes attributed to malignancies, and so of extreme importance to an internist. Seventy-five-year-old man with history of alcohol abuse, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department after
Nerve sheath tumors are tumors arising from nerve sheaths or which show nerve sheath differentiation. They are divided as benign and malignant. They are associated with Von Recklinghausen syndrome. Characterised by café-au-lait spots, lisch nodules, acoustic neuromas, OBJECTIVE
Assessing the efficacy and safety of sequential high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation in a multinodular goitre (MNG) by comparing them with single HIFU ablation.
METHODS
One hundred and four (84.6%) patients underwent single ablation of a single nodule (group I), while 19
Acute primary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid crisis are characterized by life-threatening hypercalcemia, a rare disorder. A 69-year-old female patient presented at our hospital's neurology clinic with weakness, nausea, vomiting, depression, and hypercalcemia. Treatment of hypercalcemia resulted
Although hyperthyroidism arising from primary thyroid disease is rare in pregnancy, transient gestational hyperthyroidism is not uncommon. This condition can be associated with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), and Wernicke's encephalopathy. We present the case of a woman with toxic nodular goiter
Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-producing tumor. There are a very few reported cases of clinical pheochromocytoma. Here, we report a 27-year-old woman para 1 live 1 with chief complaint of headache, confusion, nausea, and vomiting 2 days after cesarean section. She was anxious and had
BACKGROUND
Papillary carcinoma is the most common differentiated malignant thyroid neoplasm. The biological course of this cancer is typically indolent with a protracted clinical course. Metastases commonly occur in regional lymph nodes, and distant metastasis is a late and rare occurrence. We
