Article Abstract
Background: The primary treatment for locoregional recurrent/persistent differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is repeated lymph node dissection; however, there are limited reports on the safety and long-term efficacy of multiple operations.
Methods: Patients who underwent a cervical lymph node dissection between 1998 and 2022 were included in this study. Demographics, initial thyroid surgery, subsequent lymph node dissections, follow up information, and response to therapy were acquired.
Results: After one, two, three and four re-operations, 112/314 (35.7 %), 16/79 (20.3 %), 3/25 (12 %), and 0/3 (0 %) patients (p < 0.001) had an excellent response, respectively, resulting in a cumulative rate of 41.7 % (131/314). The risk for permanent hypoparathyroidism (2.9 %) or recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (2.2 %) was 5.1 % (14/272). This was higher in patients undergoing re-operative central neck dissection (CNDx) (8.7 %, 10/114) versus those who did not undergo a previous CNDx (2.5 %, 4/158, p < 0.02).
Conclusions: Surgery remains the primary treatment for recurrent/persistent DTC, however, the likelihood of an excellent response decreases with additional operations. The risk of permanent complications is low but is more likely to occur during redo CNDx.

Unlabelled: Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with infectious or autoimmune aetiologies. Autoimmune encephalitis includes paraneoplastic variants associated with specific onconeural antibodies such as anti-Hu, frequently linked to malignancies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading infectious cause in adults.

Purpose: The fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women is cervical cancer. Though treatment of early-stage cervical cancer is often effective, middle and advanced stage cervical cancer is hard to treat and prone to recurrence. We sought to explore the mechanism underlying cervical cancer progression to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Background: Lymph node silicosis (LNS) may be found when investigating lung and mediastinal diseases. Co-occurrence of LNS and pulmonary silicosis (PS) has been described but no studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of LNS for PS, the aim of this study.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included South African miners with exclusive gold-mining employment who had autopsy examinations from 1975 to 2018.
Enhancing diagnostic precision: a multicentric study of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy in lymphoproliferative disorders.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the diagnosis of lymphoma has a low overall sensitivity. The lack of tissue architecture obtained by cytological needles decreases the diagnostic accuracy for diagnosis and subtyping of and relapsed mediastinal lymphomas. This study compares the sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TMC) for both initial lymphoma diagnosis and recurrent cases, analyses safety, and evaluates the number of mediastinoscopies that could potentially be avoided due to this novel technique.
