Objective: The aim was to assess postoperative outcomes in pediatric thyroid nodules with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS/ FLUS) or suspicious for a follicular neoplasm (SFN) and their respective the European-Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (EUTIRADS) scores. Methods: Forty-four pediatric patients at a single center with thyroid nodules classified as AUS/FLUS or SFN from August 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Data on demographics, thyroid function, nodule size, and ultra sonographic features were collected. Postoperative pathologies were categorized into benign, low-risk, and malignant neoplasms according to the World Health Organization 2022 criteria, and EU-TIRADS was used for retrospective radiological scoring. Results: Among 21 (47.7%) of patients who had surgical intervention, 72% had Bethesda 3 and 28% had Bethesda 4 thyroid nodules. Post-surgical histopathological classifications were 43% benign, 19% low-risk, and 38% malignant. Of note, EU-TIRADS 3 and 5 scores were present in 44% and 56% of the benign cases, respectively. Malignant cases tended to produce higher EU-TIRADS scores, with 64% rated as EU-TIRADS 5. Bethesda category 4 nodules had a 66% malignancy rate, significantly higher than the 27% in category 3. Conclusion: A substantial proportion of histologically benign cases were classified as EU-TIRADS 5, suggesting that EU-TIRADS may lead to unnecessary biopsies in benign cases. Malignant cases were more likely to have a higher EU-TIRADS score, indicating a positive correlation with malignancy risk, particularly in Bethesda 4 cases. However, the EU-TIRADS system’s predictive value for malignancy in Bethesda 3 cases was poorer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the use of biodiesel has become increasingly important. One of the potential plants that can be used in biodiesel production is coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), a member of the Apiaceae family, is a medicinal, spice and essential oil plant. Although the homeland of coriander is the Mediterranean countries and the Middle East region, it grows naturally in Anatolia. In this study, coriander crude oil was obtained from coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) (Gürbüz registered variety) seeds using a screw press. Biodiesel production was obtained from coriander crude oil by transesterification method in a single stage (CGBD). Fuel properties of coriander (Gürbüz registered variety) (CGBD); density (kg m-3) (at 15 °C), kinematic viscosity (mm² s-1) (at 40 °C), flash point (°C), water content (mg kg-1), copper strip corrosion (3h at 50 °C), calorific value (MJ kg-1), color (ASTM D1500), cloud point (oC), cold filter plugging point (°C), pour point (°C). The conformity of coriander biodiesel according to EN 14214 standard was examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
