Thyroid nodules often necessitate surgical intervention, where traditional retractors may cause muscle damage due to prolonged use. This study introduces a slippage-suppression robotic system for thyroid surgery, featuring a conformal force and torque sensing module integrated with a robotic manipulator for compliant force control. The system features five-dimensional (5DoF) contact force sensing, achieving accurate force measurement with a relative error of . Experiments performed on phantoms and porcine tissues demonstrate the system's ability to suppress slippage effectively, ensure reliable force feedback, and improve safety and precision during thyroid surgery.

Background: Thyroid nodules (TNs) are frequent and often benign. Accurately differentiating between benign and malignant nodules is crucial for proper management. This research aims to use ultrasonography to examine TNs and identify possible risk factors in order to improve patient outcomes and diagnostic accuracy.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC). Our study focuses on the regulatory effect of circular RNAs on metabolism of TC, aiming to provide new insights into the mechanisms of progression and a potential therapeutic target for TC. In this study, we identified high expression levels of circPSD3 in TC tissues through RNA sequencing.

The aim of the study was to validate a new method for semiautomatic subtraction of [Tc]Tc-sestamibi and [Tc]NaTcO SPECT 3-dimensional datasets using principal component analysis (PCA) against the results of parathyroid surgery and to compare its performance with an interactive method for visual comparison of images. We also sought to identify factors that affect the accuracy of lesion detection using the two methods. Scintigraphic data from [Tc]Tc-sestamibi and [Tc]NaTcO SPECT were analyzed using semiautomatic subtraction of the 2 registered datasets based on PCA applied to the region of interest including the thyroid and an interactive method for visual comparison of the 2 image datasets.

Introduction: Evaluating indeterminate thyroid nodules(ITN) is challenging, especially without molecular tests. This study examines whether artificial intelligence (AI) assistance can improve ITN diagnostic accuracy and bridge expertise gaps in surgeon-performed ultrasound.
Methods: 134 ultrasound clips from 67 patients with ITN were reviewed by doctors of four levels: endocrine-surgery specialist, senior residents, junior residents, and medical student.
