To provide an overview of the literature that considers physiotherapists working in the ED in relation to their roles, training levels, patient profile, safety, effectiveness, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and the provision of low-value care. We performed a scoping review of the literature. Four databases (PubMed, EMB…

OBJECTIVES: Thyroid nodular disease is one of the most commonly observed medical conditions. Cytological evaluation of the specimens obtained with fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most accurate tool for selecting nodules which should be further surgically removed. A major limitation of this method is the hig…

Although cardiovascular diseases remains the most common cause of mortality among acromegalic patients, increased prevalence of malignant and benign neoplasm…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the success rate and safety of the short-axis (SAX) approach and long- axis (LAX) approach to ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation. METHODS: Electronic bibliographic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled tr…

BACKGROUND: Of all thyroid cancers, <5&#xa0;% are medullary (MTC). It is a well-characterized neuroendocrine tumor arising from calcitonin-secreting C cells, and RET gene plays a central role on its pathogeny.
