Aligning cytological diagnostic methods with molecular behavior studies creates promising tools for better decision-making strategies for preoperative conditions to distinguish between benign from malignant thyroid nodules in challenging cases and limit unnecessary surgeries. Extensive studies have been performed on identifying the genes involved in PTC development and their prognosis. Currently, clinical and pathological features of the tumour (such as size, extrathyroid and lymph node invasion, and capsular invasion) are used to predict the prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer. In this review, we tried to summarize fundamental signaling pathways affecting PTC and the most important genetic alterations, including point mutations in proto-oncogenes and chromosomal rearrangements, as well as up/down-regulation of certain micro RNAs (miRNA) as an epigenetic change.

There is paucity of data on head-to-head comparisons of drugs used in neuropathic pain\u0000in older adults. Real world studies may be a useful tool to study diverse neuropathic pain medications in this population.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000The study objective was to measure NPRS (numeric pain rating scale), GDS (geriatric depression scale), IADL (instrumental activities of daily living), HMSE (Hindi mental\u0000state examination) scores at baseline, and 4- and 12-week follow-ups in all older adults patients receiving neuropathic pain medications.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000A prospective observational study was conducted involving older adult patients ≥\u000050 years of age with painful peripheral neuropathy of any etiology (n=60; mean age 63±8.4\u0000years). The patients received either gabapentin, pregabalin, duloxetine, amitriptyline, or methyl-cobalamin complex. NPRS, GDS, IADL, and HMSE scores were measured at baseline\u0000and post-therapy.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000All groups except amitriptyline showed statistically significant improvement in\u0000NPRS at 4 weeks and 12 weeks compared to baseline. 30% response rate at 4 weeks was maximum for pregabalin (72%) and 50% response rate at 12 weeks was maximum for gabapentin\u0000(58%). Numerically maximum improvement in depression was seen with duloxetine. There\u0000was no statistically significant difference in the measured parameters between the drug groups\u0000across time. Mean daily dose was 172 mg (gabapentin group), 75 mg (pregabalin group) and\u000020 mg (duloxetine group). The adverse drug reaction rate was 10.5%.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000All drug groups showed beneficial effects on neuropathic pain at much lower\u0000doses than those described in the literature. The effectiveness at these low doses and the lower\u0000rates of adverse effects sets the foundation for larger studies in the future in diverse ethnic and\u0000aged populations.\u0000","PeriodicalId":11056,"journal":{"name":"Current Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine","volume":"92 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89855966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
