AACE guidelines recommend image and hormonal evaluation during 5 years in non functioning AI. The european’s guidelines advise against repeat evaluation in non-secretory AI that present with <4 cm and had benign features. According to recent studies, the risk of developing clinically relevant hormone secretion is <0.3%, in patients with previous non-f...

Introduction: Obesity is a multifactorial and chronic disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective treatment.

Introduction: Thyroid nodules have a high prevalence in the adult population (20-76%). In 2018, the American College of Radiology proposed an ultrasound classification score of thyroid nodules - Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System-TIRADS, with 88% of sensitivity and 49% of specificity to predict malignancy. Since then, several studies report sensitivity values of 70.6-97% and specificity of 30-98%. We pretend to compared TIRADS score with cytologic results based on Bethe...
