Hypothyroidism after Hemithyroidectomy: The Incidence and Risk Factors.
CONCLUSION: Twenty-seven percent of the patients in the present study developed hypothyroidism after hemithyroidectomy. Preoperative TSH more than or equal 2 micro IU/ml and significant lymphocytic infiltration in thyroid tissue or thyroiditis warrant post-operative close TSH monitoring. The awareness of such risk factors for post-operative hypothyroidism would improve patients care.

Comparison of Double RBC Collection by Blood Cell Separators.
CONCLUSION: DDRC collection can be performed safely and efficiently from both BCS. The quality of DDRC from both BCSs met the AABB and FDA standards. Donor safety, transfusion safety, and effectiveness were observed. Even though the production cost of DDRC was slightly higher than that of whole blood derived filtered RBC, DDRC was better in terms of quality, risk reduction for infectious agents, and RBC alloimmunization. Production of DDRC can also be helpful supplying special RBC such as group O, Rh D negative, and phenotyped RBC.

Vagoglossopharyngeal Neuralgia Occurred Concomitantly with Ipsilateral Hemifacial Spasm and Versive Seizure-Like Movement: A First Case Report.
We reported a 71-year-old man presenting with multiple episodes of intermittent sharp shooting pain arising on the right middle neck, followed by hemifacial spasm on right face.

This patient initially responded to pregabalin for two weeks, then the symptoms became worse. Microvascular decompression and carbamazepine resulted in the complete remission of all symptoms after six months of follow-up. We could not explain the pathophysiology o...
