Excerpt

On the 1999 December issue of Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, Paolo Miccoli preliminary reported the minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) [1]. Ten females and two males (mean age 37 years) with a cytological diagnosis of small microfollicular tumor (< 3 cm) were selected for MIVAT [1]. The procedures were successfully carried out through a 15 mm incision with fine instruments and a 5 mm endoscope [1]. Mean operative time was proper (85 min). No complications were registered. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
