Ultrasound-Guided Microwave Ablation Vs. Surgery for Low-Risk PapilaryThyroid Carcinoma
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and prognosis of ultrasound-guided and gene-based microwave ablation (MWA) versus surgical treatment in patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). By analyzing genetic testing results, the study explores the impact of genetic mutations on treatment selection for low-risk patients, providing more precise molecular …
Efficacy of Lavender Aromatherapy on Anxiety and Pain Reduction During Awake Otolaryngologic Procedures
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of lavender aromatherapy in adult patients undergoing awake otolaryngologic procedures in the outpatient clinic setting. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does lavender aromatherapy help reduce anxiety and/or pain, and improve patient comfort during awake otolaryngologic procedures in …
Exploring the Value of 18F-AlF-FAPI PET/CT in Assessing the Activity of Thyroid Eye Disease
FAPI PET has been developed as a promising approach for the evaluation of fibroinflammatory, such as in inflammatory bowel disease. This prospective study aims to explore the value of 18F-AlF-FAPI PET/CT in assessing the activity of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and investigate whether FAPI PET/CT may be superior to 99mTc-DTPA …
Role of Next Generation Sequencing in the Etiological Diagnosis of Permanent Congenital Hypothyroidism With in Situ Thyroid
Retro-prospective, exploratory, single-centre observational study conducted at the Endrocrine-Metabolic Diseases Centre of the Pediatrics Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Italy. The primary aim is to assess, by NGS sequencing of a panel of target genes, the frequency and type of variants with potential pathogenic significance in a patient population …
Eye Tracking Study on Eye Movement Function and Visual Attention Patterns in Patients With Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
This study focuses on eye health and visual function in patients with Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy (TAO), a condition that often causes bulging eyes and restricted eye movement. The purpose of this study is to use non-invasive eye-tracking technology to evaluate how the disease affects eye movement function. The investigators hypothesize that …
Targeted Therapy to Increase RAI Uptake in Metastatic DTC
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and represents the second most common cancer in adolescent females. Recently targeted drugs that block many of the genetic drivers of DTC have become available. While Investigators know that these drugs shrink DTC tumors in …
Ultrasound and Cytological Evaluation 3 Years After Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation of Benign Thyroid Nodules : a Prospective Exploratory Cohort of 180 Nodules
There is no scientific data on post-thermal ablation cytological aspects, but treated nodules that grow back significantly after a procedure justify a new cytology in order not to ignore a neoplastic process. The EU-TIRADS classification usually used to stratify the risk of cancer (and to justify a fine needle aspiration …
Prospective Evaluation of the Pulse Biosciences nPulse™ Vybrance™ Percutaneous Electrode System
The primary objective of this study is to reproduce in a multi-center study results obtained during the feasibility First-In-Human (FIH) study with Prof. Stefano Spiezia, MD (Ospedale del Mare, Naples, Italy) and to monitor additional thyroid-related symptoms and impact of patients quality of life post-ablation using a validated QoL questionnaire.
A Study on the Combined Use of Tocilizumab and Flupentixol-Melitracen in the Treatment of Thyroid-Associated Ophthalmopathy
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a serious, progressive, vision-threatening autoimmune disease that can be categorized into mild, moderate, and severe stages based on severity. The activity of TAO is commonly evaluated using the Clinical Activity Score (CAS). Tocilizumab serves as a second-line treatment option for patients with moderate to severe active …
Evaluating a Our Practice Advisory (OPA) to Optimize Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test Orders
Our Practice Advisory (OPA) are essential tools in clinical decision-making. The alerts are designed to guide providers towards evidence-based practices and improve patient outcomes. The focus of this initiative is on Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) testing, with the goal of addressing unnecessary repeat testing within a 30-day …
