Introdução: O envelhecimento é o curso natural da vida humana e tem repercussões em diversas estruturas e funções dos sistemas do corpo. A manutenção da força muscular dos extensores e flexores do joelho torna-se relevante para a realização das AVD’s, sendo frequentemente avaliada através do dinamômetro isocinético. A razão antagonista/agonista também é dada por esse equipamento, sendo uma boa indicadora de desequilíbrios musculares. Objetivos: analisar a influência do pico de torque e potência dos extensores e flexores do joelho no desempenho funcional de pessoas idosas e observar a interação entre a razão agonista/antagonista e o desempenho nos testes funcionais. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, no qual participaram pessoas idosas provenientes da comunidade. As variáveis isocinéticas analisadas foram pico de torque relativo à massa corporal, potência média e razão agonista/antagonista nas velocidades de 60º/s e 180º/s. Foi utilizada a frequência de distribuição e análise descritiva da amostra. Para analisar a interação entre as variáveis isocinéticas e o desempenho funcional, foi utilizado teste de correlação de Spearman. Foi realizada uma regressão linear multivariada considerando como variáveis independentes as variáveis isocinéticas, e como dependentes, as variáveis de desempenho funcional. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 36 pessoas idosas com média de idade de 60 anos, sendo 29 mulheres e 7 homens. A razão agonista/antagonista na velocidade de 180º/s influenciou a realização do teste TUG. As outras variáveis não demonstraram influência nos testes funcionais. A velocidade de marcha apresentou correlação positiva significativa com a variável pico de torque a 60º/s e 180º/s.Conclusão: A força muscular isocinética pode influenciar o desempenho funcional e, quanto mais alta a razão agonista/antagonista em pessoas idosas, melhor o desempenho destas em testes funcionais

Web technology has become an important part of online business such as sharing information, social interaction, activities related to business especially online payment methods, credit card information, bank transactions, online banking and many other applications. The exponential use of web technology introduces new possibilities of criminal activities and creates unbearable threats to the information and business trades. This is mainly because of the widely use of the World Wide Web and cloud computing for information sharing and saving regardless of the user. As technology grows with the passage of time, the web technology becomes more advanced and complex in terms of security and privacy and drives new challenges and threats which makes the internet unsafe for business applications. Many of the currently available applications have loopholes which makes cyber criminals to exploit the applications easily. The main vulnerabilities are Cyber theft, vandalism, web jacking, credit card information stolen, privacy and security issues, cyber terrorism, spam and etc. An ongoing challenge related to cyber security community is related to handle the transition of technology to commercial or open source web applications available in the market. This paper provides the strategy to overcome the vulnerabilities and potential threats to the business applications.

Document clustering recently became a very vital approach as numbers of documents on web and on proprietary repositories are increased in unprecedented manner. The documents that are written in human language generally contain some context and usage of words mainly depends upon the same context, recently researchers have tried to enrich document representation via some external knowledge base. This can facilitate the contextual information in the clustering process. We proposed an enrichment process with explicit content analysis using Wikipedia as knowledge base. Our approach is distinct in the sense we only uses the conceptual words from a document and their frequency to embed the contextual information. Hence, our approach does not over enrich the documents. A vector based representation, with cosine similarity and agglomerative hierarchical clustering is used to perform actual document clustering. We compare our proposed method with existing relevant approaches on NEWS20 dataset, with evaluation measure for clustering like: F-Score, Entropy and Purity.

Published: August 2023

Requirements engineering is a crucial phase in system development. If the requirements are correct, the entire project will succeed but the failure of requirements will have negative impact on the project. In this research, ontology for requirement reuse is proposed either across different projects or within a single project. The requirements once elicited, designed, verified and validated, produce sets of artefacts that are used to build the system. These requirements can be useful if stored in a repository and searched for similar criteria in future scenario thus, saving time and effort. This paper proposes ontology for the reuse process of the requirements.
Trauma in Nada Jarrar's An Unsafe Haven (2016) and Dima Wannous’ The Frightened Ones (2020)
Authors: Al Ziod Khawla , Abdul Muttaleb Fuad
Published: August 2023

Drawing on the consequences of violence that ensued from the outbreak of conflict in Syria against the background of the 2011 uprising, this article examines the traumatic effects of the Arab Spring among Syrian refugees and war survivors in the two novels An Unsafe Haven (2016) by Nada Jarrar and The Frightened Ones (2020) by Dima Wannous. It dwells upon various types of trauma, focusing on the problem of displacement, individual plights and the war dilemma. Wannous’ and Jarrar's narratives are concerned with the agonies experienced by refugees and war survivors, especially women. Traumatic incidents that refugees and war survivors encounter in their home countries include interpersonal violence, sexual violence, life-threatening accidents, witnessing the murder of loved ones, and torture. A descriptive and analytical method is followed in conducting the study relying on the two texts as primary sources and critical literature produced on them and the main issues discussed as secondary sources.
Ethics, Sublimity and Hospitality
Authors: Bidgoli Mehrdad , Abbasi Pyeaam
Published: August 2023

This article presents a study of ‘The Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ by Coleridge and ‘Resolution and Independence’ by Wordsworth. The readings are mainly addressed by the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas and try to present a conception of sublimity which mainly revolves around ethical awareness and sensibility so as to gauge the extent to which they can possibly hint at ethical issues at stake. We propose that these poetic works deal with the other and the sublimity of the encounter between the self and the other. Each of these works offers similar images of the self before the encounter – that of dwelling, self-preoccupation and enjoyment – but the speakers come out of the encounter differently: in ‘The Rime’, the Mariner roams throughout the country and recounts his experience for other ‘others’ in the hope of spreading what he now can probably identify as ‘the Good’; in ‘Resolution and Independence’, the speaker simply comes out of the unsettling and sublime encounter with the leech-gatherer enlightened and mindful of the other. The conclusion is that one significant part of the idea of the sublime in Romanticism deals with irreducible alterities – cosmic/ontic as well as (more importantly) human – and while they ineluctably reduce them to the language of poetry, each treatment can be evaluated by analysing how well they express the ruptures and interstices of alterity within a language which can go beyond language.

Published: August 2023

Breast cancer is one of the most prominent causes of mortality among women worldwide due to factors such as aggressive behavior of the cancer and resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer treatment is a common phenomenon, especially in progressive diseases with a high prevalence. Therefore the current study aimed to demonstrate the anti-cancer effects of GL on MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines.

We showed the effect of GL on cell proliferation using the MTS method, its effect on clone formation with a clonogenic test, and we also evaluated whether the apoptotic pathway was activated by western blot.

GL significantly inhibited cell proliferation depending on the dose in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines and it significantly reduced the number of colonies compared to non-treated cells. In addition, GL induced the initiation of apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells, as evidenced by an enhanced level of caspase-8 and caspase-9 and decreased expression of PARP.

These results demonstrated the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-cancer effects of GL, suggesting that GL might be useful in anticancer therapy. Novel products, such as GL, undoubtedly have promise for the future.

The current study aims to evaluate and categorize bamboo fabric's functional and comfort properties. The study includes the selection of 100% bamboo fabrics of 127 g/m2 and 112 g/m2 and cotton fabrics of 104 g/m2. The cotton fabric was chemically processed and then treated with ZnO (1%, 2%, and 3%) using a padding machine. The antibacterial action of bamboo and ZnO-coated cotton samples was assessed and analysed against E. coli and S. aureus. The moisture properties of the chosen samples were tested. Further, the chosen samples are tested for properties like bending, drapeability, specific handle force, and air permeability. It was found that bamboo samples exhibit extensive microbial activity, and the same was proven through the 3% ZnO treatment of cotton samples. Both cotton and bamboo samples demonstrated enhanced moisture management properties. The comfort properties of bamboo samples are observed to be exceptional compared to cotton samples, making them more suitable for functions in situ than cotton.

Published: August 2023

El cáncer de mama constituye el tumor maligno diagnosticado con más frecuencia en mujeres. El tamoxifeno es la droga adyuvante de elección en el tratamiento endocrino del cáncer de mama con receptores estrogénicos positivos. Posee efectos que resultan muy útiles con respecto al epitelio vaginal y el hueso, además, es cardioprotector. Por otra parte, cabe señalar que después del diagnóstico de la enfermedad, se producen notables alteraciones físicas y psicológicas que tienen un gran impacto en la paciente y que, en muchos casos, se vincula a la aparición de depresión. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue analizar la evidencia en relación con las posibles interacciones entre el tamoxifeno y distintos antidepresivos, así como sus efectos adversos en pacientes de cáncer de mama en tratamiento con tamoxifeno. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de los artículos publicados en los últimos 10 años en las bases de datos Science Direct, Dialnet, Scielo, Medigraphic y PubMed. Tras la selección final de 12 documentos, los resultados señalan la elección de antidepresivo en el caso de mujeres con cáncer de mama en tratamiento con tamoxifeno debe realizarse atendiendo al perfil, los efectos secundarios y el potencial de interacción medicamentoso posible. Es fundamental prestar especial atención a la importancia que tienen las interacciones que se pueden producir entre el tamoxifeno y los antidepresivos, puesto que dicha interacción puede repercutir en el pronóstico del cáncer de mama y la indicación de los antidepresivos surge de parte de especialistas no oncológicos. En definitiva, es fundamental tener en consideración que no hay evidencia clínica que secunde prescribir un antidepresivo en lugar de otro con respecto a la eficacia y la seguridad de los mismos, por ello se debe prestar atención a las diferentes interacciones que puedan surgir.

Published: August 2023

Un elevado porcentaje de personas con enfermedad de Alzheimer están a cargo de un familiar que ejerce como cuidador no profesional. Atender a una persona con demencia produce efectos negativos sobre el bienestar del cuidador, producto de una elevada sobrecarga. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la prevalencia, así como los factores de riesgo y protección, de la sobrecarga de los cuidadores no profesionales de pacientes con demencia. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de artículos publicados en las bases de datos Medline, Pubmed, PEDro, Scielo, y Dialnet publicados en los últimos 10 años. Tras analizar 17 documentos, se establece la elevada prevalencia de sobrecarga y burnout en los cuidadores no profesionales de los enfermeros con demencia. Además, a medida que la dependencia y la incapacidad para realizar las actividades básicas de la vida diaria de los pacientes aumentan, también lo hace la sobrecarga de los cuidadores. Entre los factores vinculados a la sobrecarga, destaca la edad, el estado de salud percibido, el nivel educativo y socioeconómico y la red de apoyo social y familiar. Se discuten los hallazgos, atendiendo a la necesidad de desarrollar programas multidisciplinares que aumenten los recursos para la detección temprana de la enfermedad y la reducción de la carga sociosanitaria y económica de la demencia sobre los cuidadores y la sociedad en su conjunto
The effects of two-way lending between financial conglomerates in the repo market
Authors: Cañón Carlos , Florez-Acosta Jorge , Gómez Karoll
Published: August 2023

We examine how market structure, market power, and systemic risk respond to close and intense lending relationships between financial conglomerates (FCs) in non-centrally cleared bilateral repo. Using transaction-level data from Mexico, we document persistent and stable funding relationships between FC-affiliated banks and funds with two distinctive features: first, funding transactions are two-way, that is, a given pair of rival FCs provide lending to one another on the same day; second, two-way transactions are executed at lower average rates than one-way transactions. We show that two-way lending between FCs favours both market concentration and market power of FC-affiliated funds, and worsens the terms of trade of independent banks’ and funds’ lending. Furthermore, we find that the bank-level contribution to systemic risk increases with two-way lending.

Crítica a la formación docente durante la reforma de 2013, bases hacia una política educativa renovada
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Díaz Delgado Miguel Ángel
Published: August 2023

El presente texto despliega una crítica del modelo de formación para la docencia en primarias públicas de México durante la reforma de 2013. Este modelo dejó de ser pertinente, sobre todo porque burocratizó la práctica formativa, con lo que redujo las potencialidades educativas y sociales de sus destinatarios. En su fase inicial, la formación docente se desarrolla principalmente en las escuelas normales, cargada de un fuerte arraigo que separa la docencia pública del ámbito universitario y le provoca cierto aislamiento profesional. En su fase continua, está a cargo de funcionarios que conforman grupos de élite académico-administrativo, se apoya en dispositivos normativos, centrados en el análisis de las políticas vigentes, en lugar de un análisis pedagógico sistemático; el enfoque metodológico reduce la reflexión a la vigilancia técnica, lo cual reduce las posibilidades de intervención de problemas educativos situados; la formación para asesores técnico-pedagógicos en este esquema es desestimada y prácticamente nula. Un modelo de formación docente renovado exige que los actores educativos se impliquen en los contextos de práctica de la educación primaria, que desafíen su creatividad y que se vinculen interinstitucionalmente.

Mechanical And Glucose Stimulation Of Bovine Chondrocytes Affect ECM Synthesis
Authors: Lecce Christian
Published: August 2023

Â Loss of articular cartilage is a cause of human morbidity which can potentially be cured with exogenous cartilage replacements. Although more research is required to create functional cartilage inserts, mechanical stimulation of chondrocytes (cartilage cells) in the correct media formulation may improve extracellular matrix (ECM) production, leading to a better-quality cartilage insert. This study aimed to identify the effect of unconfined dynamic compression of bovine chondrocytes seeded in agarose constructs on ECM production in different initial media glucose concentrations. Unstimulated constructs did not produce significantly different amounts of collagen or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in response to different media glucose concentrations. Also, stimulated construct ECM production did not significantly differ from control constructs in each glucose concentration investigated. However, stimulated constructs in 10 mM glucose produced more collagen and GAG than in media containing 25 mM glucose. Analysis of the yield of lactate on glucose (YL/G) showed that stimulated constructs underwent more aerobic respiration as the glucose media concentration increased, which did not occur for control constructs. Culturing chondrocytes in media containing 10 mM glucose lead to more ECM production than media containing 25 mM glucose and should be used in future stimulation studies. Â 
The Impact Of COVID-19 On Reusable Cup Sharing Programs: A Qualitative Exploration Of Community-Based Social Marketing
Authors: Friedman Noah
Published: August 2023

This qualitative case study explores reusable cup sharing programs in the context of the COVID-19 crisis that triggered heightened hygiene concerns. These community-based programs encourage consumers to switch from disposable to reusable cups when purchasing takeaway drinks at coffee shops. Reusable cup sharing program owners worldwide were interviewed in June 2020 on the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and how they responded to the crisis situation. A key theoretical contribution emerged by applying community-based social marketing to this crisis context. By revising the framework from a linear to a cyclical program development process, programs are better equipped to respond to changes in the external environment through continuous monitoring. This research provides practical insights for reusable cup sharing programs and other community-based programs to build resilience to future global crises.Â

Authors: YAHAYA H.K , ONI O.O , ADEYINKA I.A
Published: August 2023

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations amongst traits in layer type chickens under reciprocal recurrent selection. Matings within pure male line and female lines were carried out to produce purebred male line (AA x AA) and female line (BB x BB). A total of 364 pullets arising from 207 hens and 23 cocks in generation 1 and 440 pullets from 70 hens and 10 cocks in generation 2 under selection were monitored in individual cage units for part period egg production up to 280 days. Parameters considered were age at sexual maturity (ASM), body weight at 20 and 40 weeks (BW 20 and BW40), egg weight average (EWTAV) and egg production up to 280 days (Egg 280). Results obtained shows that ASM had a high negative genetic (-0.52 to -0.64) and moderate phenotypic (-0.39 to -0,46) correlations with BW20 in the male line, positive genetic and phenotypic correlations with EWTAV in both male (0.41 to 0.80 and 0.07 to 0.26) and female line (0.53 and 0.09 to 0.14) and negative genetic and phenotypic correlations in both male (0.45 to -0.65 and -0.08 to -0.53) and female (-0.37 and -0.20), lines, respectively. Similarly, BW40 had positive genetic and phenotypic correlations (0.68 to 0.93 and 0.01 to 0.20) with Egg-280 in the female line. EWTAV had a negative genetic and phenotypic correlation with Egg280 in both male (-0.53 to -0.96 and -0.09 to -0.17) and female line (-0.15 to -0.27 and -0.09 to -0.15), respectively. It was concluded that the favourable correlations that exist between traits measured in this study for both male and female lines indicate the presence of non-additive genetic effects which can be utilized through selection and crossing for commercial use.
Dramapädagogische Aufwärmübungen und ihr Einfluss auf die Sprechangst und Sprechbereitschaft von Schüler:innen im L2-Englischunterricht. Eine quantitative Untersuchung
Authors: Fischer Sandra
Published: August 2023

Im Fremdsprachenunterricht frei zu sprechen, ist für viele Schüler:innen mit einem Gefühl der Beklemmung verbunden. Zur Reduzierung dieses Gefühls der Foreign-Language Anxiety (FLA) schlägt die fremdsprachliche Lehr- und Lernforschung die Verwendung von dramapädagogischen Methoden vor. Vor allem die erste Phase des dramapädagogischen Prozesses, das Aufwärmen, ist vergleichsweise leicht in den schulpraktischen Alltag zu integrieren. Daher wurde in der vorliegenden Untersuchung geprüft, ob bereits die regelmäßige Anwendung von dramapädagogischen Aufwärmübungen einen positiven Einfluss auf die FLA und die Sprechbereitschaft von Schüler:innen haben kann. Dafür wurden mithilfe eines Messwiederholungsverfahrens zwei Hypothesen überprüft. Zunächst wurden 43 Schüler:innen zu ihrer FLA im Kontext des alltäglichen Englischunterrichts befragt. Diese Befragung wurde nach mehrmaliger Anwendung von Aufwärmübungen zu Beginn des Unterrichts wiederholt. Des Weiteren wurde die mündliche Beteiligung von acht Schüler:innen sowohl ohne also auch mit Einfluss der Aufwärmübungen beobachtet und erfasst. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass sich die FLA der Schüler:innen bereits nach zweiwöchiger Anwendung der dramapädagogischen Aufwärmübungen reduzierte, während die mündliche Beteiligung der ausgewählten Schüler:innen anstieg.
Film scenes and role-playing: Potentials and empirical findings on the use of audio-visual texts in foreign language teaching
Authors: Delius Katharina
Published: August 2023

Role-plays are a popular task format in foreign language teaching, among other things to promote speaking. Teachers often assume that their learners have already acquired ideas about the scene to be portrayed or that they can draw on knowledge from their first language. However, this is not always the case. To successfully perform a role-play and thus an interaction, learners need knowledge about the underlying generic characteristics, such as the structure or the verbal, but also non-verbal design of the scene. Referring to a process model for learning social interaction situations (Hallet, 2015), this paper argues for the use of film scenes to model different kinds of interactions and prepare learners for role-playing activities. After a presentation of the theoretical framework, selected results from a design-based research study, which focussed on promoting speaking in two Year 6 English classes (a total of 52 learners aged 11-12 on a pre-mediate level) via a synthesis of genre- and drama-based approach, are presented.
Mind needs body! Practicing positive psychology in English language teaching
Authors: Ludwig Christian , Sambanis Michaela
Published: August 2023

Positive emotions are recognised as important for successful foreign language learning. Learners develop a positive attitude towards a language, are motivated to learn, and experience enjoyment through regular, meaningful, and positive engagement. Little attention, however, has so far been paid to the links between Positive Psychology, one of the reasons for the growth of interest in emotions, and embodied cognition which advocates the importance of the body and positive sensations for successful learning. While methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR) can help to get learners moving in class, learning through drama seems to be particularly apt to facilitate embodied learning. Students physically engage with situations, characters, and feelings as they inhabit different spaces, often collaboratively. This paper first introduces embodied cognition. It then discusses the links between embodiment and Positive Psychology, taking Seligman's PERMA MODEL as a point of reference. Following this, it shows how embodied learning can be integrated in the English as a foreign language classroom by using techniques from improvisational theatre.

Published: August 2023

In past years, it has been considered that only data communicated via networks need to be secured. This paradigmnow shifted towards securing data at rest. With its increasing significance, IEEE has introduced a mode of AdvancedEncryption Standard (AES) named as XTS-AES. Few of its implementations exist. This paper presents a high throughput and highly efficient fully unrolled pipelined design of AES-XTS on FPGA. The proposed implementation incorporates only one AES core for both tweak value encryption as well as data encryption. Further our proposed design calculates tweak value in parallel to data encryption/decryption process. The results have achieved a throughput of 35.8 Gbps with an efficiency of 8.4 Mbps/slice. This design offers the best result for Throughput/Area that is 4.641 Mbps/area.

Published: August 2023

A new structure to develop 64-bit RSA encryption engine on FPGA is being presented in this paper that can be used as a standard device in the secured communication system. The RSA algorithm has three parts i.e. key generation, encryption and decryption. This procedure also requires random generation of prime numbers, therefore, we are proposing an efficient fast Primality testing algorithm to meet the requirement for generating the key in RSA algorithm. We use right-to-left-binary method for the exponent calculation. This reduces the number of cycles enhancing the performance of the system and reducing the area usage of the FPGA. These blocks are coded in Verilog and are synthesized and simulated in Xilinx 13.2 design suit.

BAŞLANGICINDAN LOZAN KONFERANSI’NA TÜRKİYE’DE YABANCILARA TAŞINMAZ SATIŞI VE KARŞILAŞILAN SORUNLAR
Authors: Mutlu Cengiz
Published: August 2023

1867 yılından önce Osmanlı Devleti’nde yabancılara gayrimenkul iktisabı yasaktı. Bu tarihten itibaren devlet, Safer Kanunu ile yabancılara gayrimenkul iktisabını legal hâle getirirken iktisabı belli şartlara bağlamıştı. Böyle bir kanunun çıkartılmasında Kırım Savaşı sonrası alınan dış borçlar ve kapitülasyonlar etkili olmuştur. Yabancıların taşınmaz iktisabı Osmanlı kanunları uygulanması karara bağlanırken, bu unsurun Hicaz’da taşınmaz edinmesinin önü kapatılmıştı. Ayrıca Osmanlı uyruğunda iken sonradan yabancı bir devletin uyruğuna geçenlerin taşınmaz alması da yasaklanmıştır. Daha evvel gerçek kişilere tanınan taşınmaz edinme hakkı 1913’te yabancı tüzel kişilere de teşmil edilmiştir. Yabancıların, bu kanunla elde ettiği kazanımlarla ilgili haklar Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na dek devam etmiştir. 1914’te eski antlaşmalara ait hükümlerle birlikte kapitülasyonların lağvedilmesi yabancılara tanınan tüm ayrıcalıkları ortadan kaldırmıştır. Mütareke ile birlikte Yunanlara taşınmaz satışı özellikle Batı Anadolu’nun bazı vilayetlerinde yüzde doksanlara varmıştır. Müslüman emlakının yabancıların eline geçmemesini temin için ortaya atılan birtakım öneriler ise sonuçsuz kalmıştı. Her gün binlerce lira kıymette Müslüman emlakının yabancıların eline geçişi Türk kamuoyunda tepkileri beraberinde getirmişti. Türk basınında Müslüman emlak sahiplerinin müşkülat ve zaruretler karşısında himaye edilmesi gündeme gelse de etkili bir tedbir alınamamıştır. Tüm tedbirler, millî basın vasıtasıyla Müslüman emlak sahiplerine yönelik iyi müşteriler bulmaları hususundaki nasihatlerinden öteye gidememişti. Satışların bir hayli artması üzerine İstanbul Hükûmeti bazı tedbirlere başvurmak zorunda kalsa da bundan da bir sonuç çıkmamıştır. Lozan Antlaşması’nda ise İtilaf Devletleri vatandaşlarının Türkiye’de taşınmaz edinmesi kabul edilirken buna karşın bu devletler de Türk vatandaşlarına taşınmaz edinme hakkı tanımıştır. Bu çalışmada başlangıcından Lozan Konferansı’na kadar Türk devletinin egemenlik sorunlarından biri olan yabancılara gayrimenkul satışı belgelerle ortaya koyulmaya çalışılacaktır. Çalışmamızda veri analiziyle, doküman analizi yöntem olarak kullanılacaktır.

Transoral thyroidectomy is a promising technique because of its superior postoperative cosmesis. Although tract implantation after remote-access thyroidectomy is extremely rare, it can result in poor outcomes. A 45-year-old female presented with multiple palpable nodules in the anterior neck after a transoral thyroidectomy for which thyroid function tests, CT, ultrasonography, and fine-needle aspiration were performed. The thyroid function test results were normal. CT and ultrasonography revealed multiple, well-defined nodules at levels Ia and VI along the tracks left by the endoscopic instrument inserted during transoral thyroidectomy. Fineneedle aspiration revealed a microfollicular structure derived from thyroid tissue without evidence of atypia. Wash-out fluid from the nodules revealed elevated thyroglobulin levels. Initially, the patient was hesitant about surgical removal, but the nodules grew larger, so surgical removal was performed. Final histopathological examination revealed follicular thyroid carcinoma. The patient was recommended extensive resection but was lost to follow-up.
