Rare But Risky: Clinical Impacts of Pneumothorax After Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4589-4595, October 2026.
Postoperative pneumothorax (PPTX) is rare after thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy, occurring in up to 0.10% of cases. However, it is associated with increased risks of all‐cause mortality, adverse respiratory events, and healthcare utilization rates in up to 1 year after surgery, deeming PPTX as a potential marker of increased postoperative ...

The impact of thymectomy in subgroups of Myasthenia gravis patients: a single center longitudinal observation

Neurological Research and Practice, 2023
Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare neuromuscular disorder. Symptoms can range from ptosis only to life threatening myasthenic crisis. Thymectomy is recommended for anti-acetylcholine receptor-antibody positive patients with early-onset MG. Here,

A Clinically Aligned Two‐Stage Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Hungry Bone Syndrome After Parathyroidectomy

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
A clinically aligned two‐stage machine learning framework integrates preoperative and perioperative features to predict hungry bone syndrome after parathyroidectomy. Explainable risk stratification may support individualised calcium management and early intervention for high‐risk patients.

Thymectomy for Nonthymomatous Myasthenia Gravis

, 2018
Objective Thymectomy considered as a standard procedure in treatment of all the steps of myasthenia gravis. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) thymectomy is one of the minimally invasive procedures that because of the short duration of ...

Complete Remission of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis by Corticosteroid Treatment Alone without Thymectomy

Case Reports in Neurology, 2011
Many long-term, follow-up studies have shown that steroids are effective in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) who have undergone thymectomy. However, few long-term studies have documented the response of MG to steroids alone.

Intraoperative Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography (Io‐CEUS) to Detect Missed Lung Nodules During Robot‐Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 17, September 2026.
During robotic thoracic surgery, Intraoperative Ultrasound is the surgeon's finger to detect small nodule. ABSTRACT Herein, we reported the use of Intraoperative‐Contrast Enhanced Ultrasonography (Io‐CEUS) during Robotic Assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) for identification of malignant lung nodule that was missed during previous operation. Pre‐operative

The Thymic Microenvironment Shapes Age‐Related Qualitative Changes in the TCR Repertoire

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ageing profoundly alters the thymic microenvironment, but its impact on T‐cell receptor (TCR) repertoire selection remains unclear. By sequencing TCRαβ repertoires from young and aged thymus, hydrocortisone‐depleted thymus and RAG1‐deficient thymus transplantation models, we show that the aged thymic microenvironment drives qualitative changes in TCR ...

Thymectomy in Non-Thymomatous Myasthenia Gravis: Does An RCT Solve The 75-Year-Old Controversy?

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2020
The role of thymectomy in thymomatous myasthenia gravis (MG) is unambiguous. However, its role in non-thymomatous MG (NTMG) remains debatable. The evidence till date is not robust.

Practical Guidance on Initiating and Switching Targeted Immunotherapies in Generalised Myasthenia Gravis: A German–Austrian Expert Opinion Paper

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The therapeutic landscape of generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) has evolved substantially with the approval of targeted immunotherapies, including complement C5 inhibitors (C5‐I) and neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors (FcRn‐I). While pivotal trials have demonstrated marked efficacy in defined subgroups, real‐world experience reveals ...
