Abstract Thyroid cancer incidence rates and Internet use are both increasing. Thyroid cancer is common in young patients, who are likely to use the Internet. This study aims to characterize thyroid cancer patient Internet use and search patterns, usability of online resources, and effects on clinical care. From May to December 2017, inclusive, patients with thyroid cancer attending two tertiary cancer centers were invited to complete a survey about Internet use. Thirty-nine of...
While an increasing number of studies highlights that parental environment shapes offspring phenotype (transgenerational plasticity TGP), TGP beyond the parental generation has received less attention. Studies suggest that TGP impacts population dynamics and evolution of phenotype, but these impacts will depend on how long an environmental effect can persist across generations and whether multigenerational effects are cumulative. Here we tested the impact of both grand-parental and parental environments...

Hemi-mandibles of 101 cases were evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography. Of these, 50...
Publication date: Available online 20 July 2019Source: Behavioural Brain ResearchAuthor(s): Mariella Bodemeier Loayza Careaga, Carlos Eduardo Neves Girardi, Deborah SucheckiAbstractThere is an important individual variability in development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and this feature needs to be better addressed in preclinical studies. Previously we showed that only rats that explored the context before a foot shock (delayed shock group) exhibited long-lasting behavioral changes. In...
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating disease. Almost one in ten patients with MS has a history of disease onset during childhood. Although numerous therapeutic options exist for adult MS, the available treatments for pediatric patients are still limited. One of the emerging therapies is rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 chimeric antibody that can deplete the CD20+ lymphocyte populations. A 12-year-old boy presented with ataxia, paresthesias, and headache while his brain MRI showed numerous...
Abstract Objectives To assess whether preoperative plasma fibrinogen is able to predict severe post‐tonsillectomy hemorrhage. Study Design Retrospective chart review. Methods We included 456 patients who underwent tonsillectomy between 2008 and 2013. Preoperative plasma fibrinogen levels (PFL) were assessed in patients who developed severe bleeding requiring surgical revision under general anesthesia compared to those with uneventful postoperative courses. Results 414 (90.8%) had no severe post‐tonsillectomy...
