    Sonographically estimated thyroid nodule malignancy risk: Strengths and limitations in clinical practice

    No full text
    n recent years, the clinical relevance of thyroid ultra-sound has increased. Due to the development of risk-strati-fication systems that use a systematic assessment of thyroid nodule sonographic characteristics and tiered categories, such as the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS), a pattern of morphologic features is easily translated into a specific class, with an associated estimate of malignancy risk and suggestions for clinical manage-men

    Research design and writing of scholarly articles: new artificial intelligence tools available for researchers

    No full text
    Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced transformative capabilities that are revolutionizing the process of scientific research and communication. AI tools can assist researchers in designing studies, analyzing data, and drafting manuscripts, enhancing both efficiency and analytical rigor. This allows researchers to focus cognitive resources on higher-level conceptualization and interpretation. Furthermore, AI holds promise for steering research towards more impactful directions by aiding in the identification of critical knowledge gaps and research questions with potential societal benefits. Collaboration platforms powered by AI facilitate connections between researchers across domains and institutions, accelerating discovery and promoting convergence around global health priorities. However, responsible development and application of AI in research is essential. Transparency, explainability, data privacy, and human oversight must remain priorities to ensure ethical AI practices. While AI offers transformative capabilities, researchers must maintain agency and responsibility over the scientific process. With thoughtful governance and participatory design, AI can become a powerful tool for advancing science in the service of society. Overall, AI ushers in new potentials for improving the rigor, relevance, and reach of scientific inquiry. Yet realization of this potential necessitates proactive efforts to address emerging risks and challenges

    BRAF mutation assessment in papillary thyroid cancer: Are we ready to use it in clinical practice?

    No full text
    Many features of BRAF oncogene in papillary thyroid cancer have been elucidated. Many aspects still need to be clarified through prospective and randomized studies. However, BRAF mutation status in thyroid cancer appears as a promising marker to provide a basis for developing a personalized managemen
