PURPOSE: The main issue with the current ultrasonography (US) guidelines is the overestimation of malignant and indeterminate nodules as they do not aid in making decisions to treat patients. To overcome this, new US guidelines for thyroid nodules that have been shown to be better correlated with cytologic results have been proposed. We also suggested specific indications for US-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) using the new US guidelines. METHODS: Clinical and pathologic data from 925 patients and 1,419 thyroid nodules were retrospectively collected. All subjects underwent US- and US-guided FNA at Department of Surgery, Wonju Christian Hospital, between March 2010 and July 2011. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for both the current guidelines and the new guidelines. RESULTS: The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for the current guidelines in predicting malignancy were 24.1%, 99.3%, 62.2%, 25.0%, and 99.8%, respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV for the new guidelines in predicting malignancy were 66.0%, 96.0%, 86.7%, 47.7%, and 99.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The use of the new US guidelines allow for a more accurate and specific diagnosis and a better treatment plan than the current guidelines. Additionally, the use of the new FNA guidelines may help prevent unnecessary FNAs and promote cost-effective follow-up for patients.

The authors report two cases of recurrent transitional cell carcinoma at the anastomotic site of the ileal conduit and ureter after total cystectomy. In one patient, a recurrent tumor was also found in the distal ureter which had not been removed during previous nephrectomy. At follow up, the patients presented with gross hematuria or hydronephrosis, and the presence of mass lesions was demonstrated by intravenous urography,antegrade pyelography, and/or loopography. Transitional cell carcinoma was diagnosed by surgery and pathologic examination.

Objective: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) reduces functional activity and increases the rate of
cardiovascular death in the elderly. Our study aimed to determine whether the presence of PAD in
stroke patients affected the progression of disability or death one year after discharge. Methods: From
April 2012 to March 2013, consecutive first stroke patients above 50 years of age without known PAD
were enrolled. PAD was defined as a low ankle-brachial index (less than 0.9) measured by an automatic
device. Clinical data associated with the stroke were collected from medical records. Disability in stroke
patients was evaluated with the modified Rankin scale (mRS) on discharge day and one year after the
index stroke. Progression of disability was defined as an increase in mRS more than one level at one
year. Results: Among the 526 patients, 238 had ischemic strokes and underwent ankle-brachial index
(ABI) measurement. Of them, 192 patients were included. In univariate analysis, age, dyslipidemia,
discharge mRS, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, D-dimer, homocysteine, internal carotid artery
stenosis, posterior cerebral artery stenosis, and PAD were factors associated with worsening mRS.
After adjustment for these factors in the logistic regression analysis, PAD was an independent factor
associated with worsening mRS. In the analysis of one-year mortality, patients with PAD had a higher
death rate, but PAD was not an independent factor after adjusting for other variables.
Conclusions: The presence of PAD in stroke patients suggests a chance of disability progression, but
may not be a predictor of death after one year.
