Pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis comes years after losing left lung

DEAR DR. ROACH: In the 1950s, I worked for a plumber covering pipes with asbestos. In 1976, I lost my entire lung on the left side, operated on at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York. From that moment in 1976, I never had a problem with my other lung until about three months ago, when […]

Introduction Thyroid nodules are very common. However, the majority of thyroid nodules are benign. Ultrasound is the first-line imaging investigation of choice for thyroid nodules. Certain sonographic features are associated with an increased risk of malignancy. Recent studies suggested that the location of the nodule may be associated with the malignancy risk. Hence, this study aims to investigate this association. Methods After obtaining approval from the ethics committee, we conducted a retro...

Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine cancer worldwide. It is the second most common type of cancer among United Arab Emirates (UAE) women and ranks as the sixth most common type of cancer overall among the UAE population. There are limited studies in the UAE related to thyroid malignancy. This study aimed to determine the pattern of thyroid malignancy among the UAE population and its associated characteristics, with more emphasis on patients categorized as Bethesda III by...

A new study finds that an artificial intelligence (AI) model incorporating multiple methods of machine learning accurately detects thyroid cancer and predicts pathological and genomic outcomes through analysis of routine ultrasound images.

New research discovers that an artificial intelligence (AI) model combining several methods of machine learning precisely identifies thyroid cancer and predicts genomic and pathological results via examination of regular ultrasound images.

Ultrasonography and CT scanning appear to be equally good at detecting papillary thyroid cancer within the lateral compartment, researchers in Canada report.
