Article Abstract
BACKGROUND Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common autoimmune disease. There are currently few studies utilizing multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate diffuse thyroid lesions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. This study aims to explore the value of multi-parametric MRI in assessing the progression of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study ultimately included 40 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, who were randomly and evenly assigned to an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received dietary management, while the control group received no intervention. Laboratory and imaging tests were conducted at baseline and 6 months later. RESULTS After dietary management, patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis showed a significant reduction in thyroid T2-weighted imaging relative signal intensity (T2WI RSI) (mean: 1.69±0.35 vs 1.42±0.24, P<0.05) and water fraction (mean: 94.57±1.76 vs 93.36±1.62, P<0.001). Additionally, thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) levels decreased significantly (TPOAb: 376.58±319.52 vs 273.55±287.63, P<0.05; TGAb: 219.06±572.54 vs 198.80±567.59, P<0.05). In contrast, no significant changes in thyroid water fraction, TPOAb, or TGAb levels were observed in the control group (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, multi-parametric MRI offers a valuable quantitative tool for assessing Hashimoto's thyroiditis, providing an intuitive and sensitive method to improve disease understanding and management.

Protective Role of Apelin in a Mouse Model of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome.

Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a serious condition involving physical weakness, depression, and cognitive impairment that develop during or after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, often resulting in long-term declines in quality of life. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe COVID-19 are at particularly high risk, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying PICS remain poorly understood. Here, we identify impaired Apelin-APJ signaling as a potential contributor to PICS pathogenesis via disruption of inter-organ homeostasis.

COVID-19 pandemic led to a fast vaccine design due to the threat of rapid spreading worldwide. Safety profile of the approved vaccines has been achieved mostly through clinical trials. However, some unsolicited adverse events in a longer duration of time have been recorded in addition to the late disorders known as long-COVID, stemming from classical infection.

Background: Despite durable benefits of ipilimumab and nivolumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), early progressive disease (PD), defined as disease progression within 3 months, occurs, and its predictors remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with early PD in patients with mRCC treated with this regimen.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a multi-institutional database identified 193 patients with mRCC treated with ipilimumab plus nivolumab.

Empty sella (ES) involves herniation of the pituitary fossa, leading to pituitary flattening. While typically associated with central hypothyroidism, its co-occurrence with hyperthyroidism is rarely reported and often overlooked. We report a rare case of hyperthyroidism in a patient with ES.
