Comprehensive analysis of clinicopathologic and sonographic features in thyroid cancer with skip lymph node metastasis: establish and assessment of a prediction nomogram
Liang Jiwang, Bai Jinghui, Fang Fengqin, Yu Tao, Zhao Yuejiao
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:101301
Highlights

  • A few studies have focused on skip metastasis, and the clinical and pathological risk factors remain uncertain. Some researchers have also proposed different models for predicting its occurrence, but their models were only based on the clinicopathologic characteristics, and none of them included US features. In this study, we retrospectively examined the incidence and related clinicopathologic and US characteristics of skip metastasis in PTC and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

  • We established a nomogram for predicting the possibility of skip metastasis according to the clinicopathological and US features.

  • The number of patients in this study is 1037, this sample is relatively larger than other study. The results of our study might be less bias.

Effect of obesity, lipids and adipokines on allergic rhinitis risk: a Mendelian randomization study
Chenxi Lin, Jia Li, Ye Deng, Xiongwen Li, Shirong Li
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:101306
Highlights

  • Obesity and lipids cannot genetically increase the risk of allergic rhinitis.

  • Interleukin-6 might contribute to the development of this disease.

  • Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein perhaps promoted the onset of this disease.

  • Bonferroni correction had the ability to eliminate these two correlations.

  • The above findings can be instructive for future research on allergic rhinitis.

Li Luo, Honggang Liu
Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2023;89:101310
Highlights

  • Novel prognostic factors need to be developed in laryngeal cancer.

  • Tumor budding is related to smaller tumor cell nest in laryngeal cancer.

  • Tumor budding is related to higher pT stage in laryngeal cancer.

  • Tumor budding is related to the low levels of TILs in laryngeal cancer.

  • Tumor budding may predict recurrence and death of laryngeal cancer patients.
