Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) on vocal cord palsy (VCP) rates and assess the temporal trends in VCP rates.
Methods: The subjects of this retrospective study were patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer between March, 2014 and June, 2022, at a university hospital in Korea. We compared VCP rates between the non-IONM and IONM groups and analyzed the risk factors for VCP and VCP rates over time.
Results: A total of 712 patients were included in the analysis. The rates of transient and permanent VCP did not differ significantly between the non-IONM and IONM groups. Transient VCP occurred in 4.6% and 4.3% patients (p = 0.878) and VCP was permanent in 0.7% and 0.4% patients (p = 0.607) in the non-IONM and IONM groups, respectively. Among the nerves at risk, transient damage occurred in 2.8% and 3.0% patients (p = 0.901), and permanent damage occurred in 0.4% and 0.3% (p = 0.688), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed no significant risk factors for VCP. There was a significant decreasing trend in VCP rates over time as the cumulative number of cases increased (p = 0.017).
Conclusions: IONM did not reduce the risk of VCP significantly. However, the declining trend of VCP rates suggests that the surgeon's experience may mitigate VCP risk.

Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx)-mediated immune modulation and prognostic model development in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx) is critical in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, but its influence on tumor immunity and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains unclear. This study aimed to construct a prognostic model based on HBx-related genes and explore their relationship with immune infiltration and immunotherapy response. Through transcriptome sequencing of our HBx-expressing HepG2 cells and analysis of HCC patient data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and genotype-tissue expression (GTEx), we identified seven HBx-related genes, nuclear VCP-like (NVL), WD repeat domain 75 (WDR75), NOP58 nucleolar protein (NOP58), Brix domain-containing protein 1 (BRIX1), deoxynucleotidyltransferase terminal interacting protein 2 (DNTTIP2), MKI67 FHA domain interacting nucleolar phosphoprotein (NIFK), and ribosome production factor 2 (RPF2), associated with poor prognosis.

Vernix caseosa peritonitis (VCP) is a rare condition characterised by non-necrotising granulomatous inflammation within the peritoneal cavity following childbirth. Its presentation is typically with acute abdominal pain and fever following caesarean section (CS), and management involves broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgical intervention. Conservative management is rare.

Background: To improve access to care, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) implemented the Veterans Choice Program, allowing enrollees to receive care outside VA facilities if they met eligibility requirements tied to wait times, travel, and availability of services. VA-purchased care has grown significantly to more than $32 billion in 2024, representing 24% of VA's medical care budget.
Objectives: To compare the annual utilization of skin procedures for Veterans who received only VA-purchased care versus any VA-delivered care.
Quantifying ambient concentration and emission profile of D5-siloxane of a residential neighborhood in the Greater Houston area.

Volatile chemical products (VCPs) in urban environments account for a significant portion of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enhancing the production of tropospheric ozone and secondary organic aerosols. Residential areas are an important source of VCPs in the urban environment, though few studies have examined the emission of VCPs in metropolitan areas from subtropical regions. To bridge the knowledge gap, this study aims to analyze the concentration and emission of D5-siloxane, a compound typically served as a tracer to characterize VCP emission from residential areas.
