Thyroidectomy ± neck dissection pathology data, laboratory, and imaging findings before and after RAI treatment were introduced to ML models.Results: After RAI treatment, 118 patients had ER and 33 had nonER. Before RAI treatment, TgAb was positive in 29% of patients with ER and 55% of patients with nonER (p = 0.007). Eight of the ML models predicted ER with high area under the ROC curve (AUC) values (> 0.700).

The role of prognosticators in locally advanced laryngeal cancer are still widely debated. This study aimed to assess the impact of volume of thyroid cartilage infiltration, as well as other histopathologic variables, on patient survival.Materials and methods: We retrospectively analysed 74 patients affected by pT4 LSCC and treated with total laryngectomy between 2005 and 2021 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery of the University of Brescia, Italy. We considered as potential prognosticators histological grade, perineural (PNI) and lympho-vascular invasion (LVI), thyroid cartilage infiltration, and pTN staging. Pre-operative CT or MRI were analysed to quantify the volume of cartilage infiltration using 3D Slicer software.Results: The 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease free survivals (DFS) were 76%, 66%, and 64%, respectively. Using machine learning models, we found that the volume of thyroid cartilage infiltration had high correlation with DFS. Patients with a higher volume (>670 mm3) of infiltration had a worse prognosis compared to those with a lower volume.Conclusions: Our study confirms the essential role of LVI as prognosticator in advanced LSCC and, more innovatively, highlights the volume of thyroid cartilage infiltration as another promising prognostic factor.","PeriodicalId":6890,"journal":{"name":"Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica","volume":" ","pages":"176-182"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11166214/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139073041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient demographics, histological characteristics, and treatment modalities were retrospectively obtained and compared between the pre-pandemic period (pre-COVID-19 group) and the period after the implementation of COVID-19 restrictive measures (COVID-19 group).Results: Patients were significantly older during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, 63 patients (44.7%) were under 65 and 78 (55.3%) were 65 or older, while in the pre-COVID-19 period, 53 patients (60.9%) were under 65 and 34 (39.1%) were 65 or older (p = 0.017).

In these patients, we found an upward sliding of the eyes, followed by an oblique downward catch-up saccade during horizontal head impulse to the healthy side.Methods: We present a retrospective study of all VHIT exams presenting isolated PSC hypofunction between May 2020 and November 2022.Results: We found 37 patients, which led to the discovery of such incongruent eye movement in 19 cases; their gain data are shown and compared to the remaining 18 cases in which such an anomaly was absent. A control group of 31 healthy subjects was recruited to define the reference criteria for VHIT gain values. The correlation between the amplitude of the vertical saccade and the relative functional imbalance of the vertical semicircular canals was studied.Conclusions: We have observed that in approximately half of the subjects with isolated CSP deficiency, there is a VOR anomaly. A possible pathophysiological explanation of the unbalanced effect of vertical semicircular canal stimulation of a labyrinth during horizontal head thrust toward the opposite side is proposed. The planar incongruity of the response of the VOR described here appears more evident at the onset of the CSP deficit. Current VHIT systems do not detect this incongruent eye reflex. They can lead to an error in gain evaluation (pseudo-deficit) of the lateral semicircular canal of the healthy side and problems in performing the test (trace rejected). In the future, software for VHIT should take into account the possibility of non-coplanar ocular responses to cephalic stimuli.","PeriodicalId":6890,"journal":{"name":"Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica","volume":" ","pages":"198-203"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11166218/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140852288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
