Background: Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) is a newly described indolent thyroid tumor with well-defined histopathological diagnostic criteria. Even though the histopathologic features and diagnostic criteria for NIFTP are well-established, preoperative diagnosis using sonographic or fine needle aspiration findings has yet to be confirmed. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, sonographic, and cytological charac...

Background: ChatGPT, an advanced language model, employs sophisticated deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses. It stands as one of the most extensive publicly accessible language models. Despite the longstanding application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diverse domains, its application in healthcare raises concerns about the reliability of information. It is equally important to assess whether the provided information is supported by dependable referenc...

Introduction: Glucagonomas are rare neuroendocrine tumours (NET). Glucagonoma syndrome is often misdiagnosed as other skin lesions by clinicians due to typical clinical sign of necrolytic migratory erythema (NME). In this article, we report a metastatic glucagonoma case diagnosed at adult age with distinct features of the disease.Observations: We present a case of a 28-year-old female patient. The initial rash appeared in early 2019 and was mostly on low...

Objective: The prevalence of incidentally discovered papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (iPTMC) has increased with the expanded use of diagnostic imaging, including nuclear medicine imaging techniques. While iPTMC appears to have a better prognosis than non-incidental PTMC, it was suggested that thyroid carcinomas that were incidentally discovered during 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computer tomography (FDG PET/CT) or parathyroid scintigraphy may have poor...

Background: The effects of gender-affirming hormonal therapy (GAHT) on body composition in transgender people assigned female at birth (AFAB) have been an area of interest. However, the impact of GAHT on muscle strength remains inadequately studied. We aimed to evaluate early alterations in muscle strength following GAHT in transgender people AFAB by isokinetic dynamometry, the gold standard for assessment of strength.Subjects and Methods: A total of 20 ...
