Omics research in atherosclerosis.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lipid deposition within the arterial intima, as well as fibrous tissue proliferation and calcification. AS has long been recognized as one of the primary pathological foundations of cardiovascular diseases in humans. Its pathogenesis is intricate and not yet fully elucidated.

Conformal thyroidectomy is a feasible option in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study with 10-year follow-up results.

Background: In recent years, there has been an increasing prevalence of patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) without lymph node involvement in medical centers worldwide. For patients who are unable to undergo active surveillance (AS) and are afraid of postoperative complications, conformal thyroidectomy may be a suitable option to ensure both preservation of function and complete removal of the tumor.

Methods: The patients in the cohort during 2010 to 2015 were retrospectively enrolled strictly following the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
