BACKGROUND: Due to the high variability in malignancy rate among cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (Bethesda categories III-V), the American Thyroid Association recommends that each center define its own categorical cancer risk. OBJECTIVES: To assess cancer risk in patients with cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules who were operated at our center. METHODS: In a retrospective study, we analyzed the pathology results of all the patients whose fine needle aspiration results showed Bethesda III-V cytology and who subsequently underwent total thyroidectomy or lobectomy from December 2013 to September 2017...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) are new antidiabetic drugs that are recommended by current guidelines as a class I novel glucose-lowering treatment that improves cardiovascular outcome in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate adherence to the current guidelines for treatment with SGLT2i and GLP1-RA drugs in patients referred to ambulatory consultant cardiology clinics with pre-existing T2DM...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Yarden Tenenbaum Weiss, Michael Friger, Alon Haim, Eli Hershkovitz
BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are commonly treated with daily multiple insulin injections or an insulin pump. They tend to have higher body mass index-standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) than non-diabetic children. OBJECTIVES: To identify patterns in the changes in BMI in the 3 years after T1DM diagnosis, and to discover factors that relate to excessive weight gain. METHODS: This retrospective study included clinical and laboratory data for 194 boys and girls aged 2-18 years at the time of diagnosis and at 1, 2, and 3 years after...

BACKGROUND: Omega-3 fatty acids promote fertility in males and females and constitute an important factor in the normal development of the fetus. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effect of omega-3 supplements during ovulation induction treatment in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-related infertility. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind study was conducted for 60 treatment cycles in 34 women with PCOS-related oligo/anovulation referred to the fertility clinic at the Bikur Cholim/Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, who underwent ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate (50 mg)...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Shir Schlosser, Svetlana Zalmanov, Raphael M Pfeffer, Yoav Lipski, Vladislav Grinberg, Yael Kalmus, Daphne Levin, Keren Hod, Merav A Ben David
BACKGROUND: Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASqCC) is a rare malignancy, traditionally treated with combined chemoradiation, with a continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and mitomycin C (MMC). Replacing intravenous (IV) 5-FU with oral capecitabine (oral fluoropyrimidine) has been reported as a non-inferior treatment option. However, these data are scarce, with variable results. OBJECTIVES: To examine the outcome of patients with ASqCC treated with either IV 5-FU or capecitabine concomitantly with radiation therapy...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Aviv Barzilai, Hila Greenbaum, Monica Huszar, Sergei Ikher, Avner Shemer, Sharon Baum
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of onychomycosis is based on potassium hydroxide (KOH), direct smear, culture, and polymerase chain reaction. Nail clippings are rarely used as a diagnostic tool. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate nail clippings for the diagnosis of onychomycosis and to compare it to KOH smears. METHODS: Nail clipping specimens of 39 patients were collected: 34 with onychomycosis proved by positive culture and 5 from normal nails. The specimens were submitted to histological processing and then stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Grocott-Gomori's methenamine silver (GMS) stains...

BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is the only curative option for gastric carcinoma (GC). Minimally invasive techniques are gaining popularity. OBJECTIVES: To present a single-surgeon's experience in transitioning from an open to a minimally invasive approach, focusing on surgical and oncological outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis including distal gastrectomy patients 2012-2020 operated by a single surgeon. Two cohorts were compared: open (ODG) and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG)...

BACKGROUND: Previous epidemiological studies on shoulder instability evaluated specific and relatively small subgroups of patients. OBJECTIVES: To determine the incidence rate of primary shoulder dislocations. METHODS: Cohort analysis of electronic health records from 2004 to 2019 was conducted in a urban district of a major health maintenance organization (HMO) in Israel. Patients presented with primary shoulder dislocation that was treated with closed reduction in any medical facility within the district...

BACKGROUND: Acute appendicitis (AA) is a medical emergency. The standard of care for AA had been surgical appendectomy. Recently, non-operative management (NOM) has been considered, mainly for uncomplicated AA. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate AA NOM trends over two decades. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on Israel's National Hospital Discharges Database (NHDD). Inclusion criteria were AA admissions from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2019, with either primary discharged diagnosis of AA, or principal procedure of appendectomy...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Tal Tobias, Dani Kruchevsky, Yehuda Ullmann, Joseph Berger, Maher Arraf, Liron Eldor
BACKGROUND: Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) is the most common method of reconstruction for breast cancer. Bacterial infection is a well-known risk with reported rates ranging from 1% to 43%. The most common pathogens of breast implant infection described in the literature are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and coagulase-negative staphylococci. However, the prevalence of other pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivity profile differs profoundly in different parts of the world...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Gilad Rotem, Jordan Lachnish, Tomer Gazit, Gal Barkay, Dan Prat, Gil Fichman
BACKGROUND: Several approaches are used to access the hip joint; most common are the direct lateral and posterior. Little consensus exists on which to use when treating hip fractures. OBJECTIVES: To compare short-term complications, postoperative ambulation, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) of direct lateral vs. posterior approaches in hemiarthroplasty for acute hip fractures. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective clinical trial with 260 patients who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty in the direct lateral or posterior approach (166 and 94, respectively) between January 2017 and December 2018...
