Radiofrequency ablation for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: a multicenter non-randomized open-label single-arm prospective clinical trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and factors influencing the response to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in a prospective multicenter trial.

Materials And Methods: Between September 2022 and June 2024, 34 patients with 35 parathyroid lesions who either refused surgery or were ineligible for it underwent RFA for treatment of PHPT across three hospitals. Nodule size, volume, and biochemical data were compared before and after treatment (at 2 h, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months).

Efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation for hyperparathyroidism: a meta-analysis and systematic review.

Objective: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being investigated as a treatment for parathyroid lesions, with favorable outcomes, especially in patients who are ineligible for surgery or decline surgery. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of RFA in treating hyperparathyroidism.

Materials And Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for original literature published on or before July 18, 2024.

Deep learning-based quantification of T2-FLAIR mismatch sign: extending IDH mutation prediction in adult-type diffuse lower-grade glioma.

Objectives: To investigate the predictive value of the quantitative T2-FLAIR mismatch ratio (qT2FM) with fully automated tumor segmentation in adult-type diffuse lower-grade gliomas (LGGs).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 218 consecutive patients (mean age, 47 years ± 15 [SD]; 125 males) diagnosed with adult-type diffuse LGG. The cohort was classified into IDH wild-type (IDHwt), IDH-mutant with 1p/19q-codeletion (IDHmut-Codel), and IDH-mutant without 1p/19q-codeletion (IDHmut-Noncodel) subtypes.

Safety and Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Thrombin Injection for Pseudoaneurysms Arising after Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Thyroid Nodules.

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal complication of a thyroid biopsy. However, a standard management strategy has not yet been established. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided thrombin injection (TI) for thyroid pseudoaneurysms.

Ultrasonography of Malignant Clear Cell Hidradenoma: A Case Report.

Clear cell hidradenoma is a tumor that originates from a sweat gland and typically involves the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Malignant clear cell hidradenoma is very rare, and surgical excision is usually performed without imaging. There are few reports of the ultrasonographic findings of malignant clear cell hidradenomas.

A novel method to determine hepatic segments using Sonazoid, an ultrasound contrast agent.

The conventional radiologic method for liver segmentation is based on the position of the hepatic and portal veins. However, during surgery, liver segments are resected based on the distribution of hepatic portal blood flow. This discrepancy can lead to a number of problems, such as miscommunication among clinicians, missing the location of the segment with the hepatic mass, and the risk of extended hepatic resection.
