Objective. No previous study has employed long-term follow-up ultrasonography (US) examinations for evaluating thyroid colloid cysts (TCCs) in the general population. This study aimed to assess the interval changes of TCCs at the health center by evaluating long-term US follow-up examinations.Methods. For evaluation of the thyroid gland at our health center from 2006 to 2010, 3692 individuals underwent 4 or more thyroid US examinations at an interval of 1 year or 2 years. We assessed the interval changes of TCCs ≥ 5 mm on US follow-up examinations.Results. Of the 3692 subjects, only 115 (3.1%) showed TCCs ≥ 5 mm on one or more thyroid US examinations. The interval changes in TCCs, as shown by the thyroid US examinations performed during the study period, were classified as follows: no interval change (n=60), gradual increase (n=37), gradual decrease (n=6), positive fluctuation (n=10), negative fluctuation (n=0), and disappearance (n=2). No subject reported any relevant symptom pertaining to TCCs.Conclusions. Overall, follow-up US examinations showed various interval changes in TCCs, but a majority of TCCs showed no interval change or a gradual increase in size.

Objective. This study aimed to assess the interval changes of thyroid colloid cysts (TCCs) by performing long-term ultrasound (US) follow-up examinations.Methods. From 2007 to 2008, 437 patients underwent a lobectomy for the treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma. Among them, 268 patients underwent 4 or more postoperative US follow-ups after surgery. This study investigated the prevalence and interval changes of TCCs≥3 mm by using US follow-ups.Results. Among 268 patients, 35 (13.1%) had TCCs≥3 mm by a preoperative thyroid US, and 6 (2.2%) had newly detected TCCs at a US follow-up. Through long-term US follow-up, the interval changes for TCCs were classified as follows: no interval change (n=8), gradual increase (n=8), gradual decrease (n=5), positive fluctuation (n=3), negative fluctuation (n=6), disappearance (n=5), and new detection (n=6). None of the TCC cases had a TCC that was ≥10 mm at its largest diameter, and no patient complained of any relevant symptoms pertaining to the TCCs.Conclusions. In this study, TCCs demonstrated various interval changes, but no abrupt increase was found or acute onset of symptoms occurred.

Abstract Introduction and objectives Initial results of Leadless pacemakers (LPM) has been promising in worldwide, nevertheless there are still no long term experience published, so the objective of our study was to evaluate electrical parameters at mid  and long term follow-up, describing as well total complications and mortality in a single center-study. Methods   This was a prospective, observational clinical trial that included 183 consecutive patients, with an indication for a single-chamber pacemaker implantation. Results   All successful implantation included a total of 183 patients with a mean age of 79,2 ±6,6 years (range 54-93y/o); 111 (60,6%) were men and more frequent rhythm was permanent atrial fibrillation (160), including those in which a node ablation was performed in the same procedure (22). Clinical and echocardiographyc characteristics are described in table 1.Mean follow-up was of 26 ±10 months including: 64 patient at 24 months, 46 at 36 months and 7 patients at 48 months. Electrical parameters are represented in figure 1, which were stable and flawless at long term follow-up.  Total complications were 3,3%, with only 2 patient requiring surgery for resolution (1,7%), and all were acute during LPM implantation. A total of 17 patients (9,3%) died with no relation to pacemaker.  Conclusions In our experience, leadless pacemakers electrical performance continues stable, appropriate at long term follow-up, and no other complications developed. Baseline Characteristics of Patients Age(years) 79.2 ± 6.6[54-93] Male gender, n (%) 118 (60.6%) Hypertension, n (%) 149 (81.7%) Diabetes mellitus, n (%) 64 (34.9%) COPD, n (%) 33(18.3%) Renal dysfunction, n (%) 30 (16.7%) Valvular disease, n (%) 74 (41.1%) Atrial Fibrillation, n (%) 161 (98.0%) LVEF(%) 60.0 ± 8 OAC, n (%) 123(67.2%) NOAC, n (%) 23 (10.0%) Abstract Figure.
