Preoperative vitamin D administration does not affect rates of post-thyroidectomy hypocalcaemia Open
Pre-thyroidectomy vitamin D treatment does not prevent postoperative hypocalcemia. These findings suggest individualised calcium support strategies based on patient-specific factors post-thyroidectomy.

Evaluating Depth of Invasion as a Continuous Prognostic Factor in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Open
Background Depth of invasion (DOI) has a significant clinical impact on the staging system of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We aimed to compare the prognostic impact of treating DOI as a continuous variable rather than a categorical…
