Thyroid carcinoma in Graves’ disease: a retrospective analysis of prevalence, histological subtypes, and clinical predictors

Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism frequently associated with thyroid nodularity. However, whether GD confers an increased risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) compared with euthyroid populations remains uncertain, and reliable clinical predi...

The effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and mitochondrial transplantation on cisplatin toxicity

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent with dose-limiting toxicity in non-target tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and mitochondrial transplantation (MitoTr) have been explored as supportive strategies in preclinical models. We examined whether HBOT and/or MitoT...

Post-Recurrence Outcomes Associated with a Bevacizumab-Containing First-Recurrence Strategy in Glioblastoma: A Propensity-Weighted Single-Center Cohort Study with Competing-Risk Analysis

Background/Objectives: Bevacizumab is widely used at recurrence in glioblastoma, but comparisons are complicated by multimodal treatment selection and progression assessment. We examined outcomes associated with a bevacizumab-containing first-recurrence strategy and explored the...

Effect of different surface treatments on the shear bond strength of one-step and two-step universal adhesives to enamel and dentin

This study evaluated the effect of surface treatments on the shear bond strength of one- and two-step universal adhesives applied to enamel and dentin. Eighty extracted human molars were allocated to five experimental conditions: etch-and-rinse phosphoric acid application, Er:YAG...
