Luteal and hypophyseal expression of the canine relaxin (RLN) system during pregnancy: Implications for luteotropic function [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
By acting through its receptors (RXFP1, RXFP2), relaxin (RLN) exerts species-specific effects during pregnancy; possible luteotropic effects through stimulation of prolactin (PRL) release have been suggested.

Risk stratification of advanced extranodal extension in retropharyngeal lymph nodes for nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a multi-center study [PDF]

Cancer Imaging
Background This study aimed to refine risk stratification of advanced extranodal extension (ENE) in retropharyngeal lymph nodes (RLNs) and evaluate its prognostic significance. Methods A total of 1,373 non-metastatic NPC patients at three centers between

Endoscopic Total Thyroidectomy via a Single-Port Subclavian Approach Versus Open Surgery for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. [PDF]

World J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg
ABSTRACT Objective Historically, performing contralateral thyroid lobectomy and lymph node dissection via the subclavian approach has been considered challenging. This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of gasless endoscopic total thyroidectomy and central compartment neck dissection via the single‐port subclavian approach (SpSCA) in comparison

A novel cartilage-based reference point for the recurrent laryngeal nerve: implication for preoperative risk stratification in posterior subcapsular thyroid tumors [PDF]

World Journal of Surgical Oncology
Background Protecting the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is central in thyroidectomy, yet little is known about preoperative localization of the RLN and its role in assessing injury risk.

Continuous Intraoperative Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Monitoring in Transcervical Inflatable Mediastinoscopic Esophagectomy [PDF]

Thoracic Cancer
Transcervical inflatable mediastinoscopic esophagectomy (TIME), with fewer incisions and without going through the thoracic cavity, may achieve the same results and lymph node dissection compared with Thoracoscopic assisted minimally invasive ...

The Impact of Etiology on Time to Vocal Fold Motion Recovery in Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
The time course of vocal fold motion recovery in UVFP reflects the underlying etiologies. This study showed that there was no difference in the time to recovery between UVFP from cardiothoracic versus thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, challenging the long‐held assumption that recovery time is proportional to the distance between injury site and larynx ...

Intraoperative Management of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Transected or Invaded by Thyroid Cancer

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Thyroid cancer often invades the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), causing vocal cord paralysis. In such patients, the invaded portion of the RLN usually needs to be resected through curative surgery.

Predictive factors and risk analysis of recurrent laryngeal nerve invasion in papillary thyroid carcinoma ≤ 1 cm

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023
Objective: The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may be involved by papillary thyroid carcinoma ≤ 1 centimeter (PTC ≤ 1 cm). Current study investigated the predictive factors of RLN invasion in PTC ≤ 1 cm, the risk factors of disease recurrence in RLN ...

Unexpected mapping of recurrent laryngeal nerve by fluorescence-guided surgery using near-infrared indocyanine green angiography

Mìžnarodnij Endokrinologìčnij Žurnal, 2023
Background. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage and parathyroid gland injury are the most severe complications of thyroid surgery. The possibility of RLN confirmation in the near-infrared spectrum after the injection of indocyanine green (ICG) was
