Intraoral disease, including macropod progressive periodontal disease, is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality for wallabies under human care. Clinical signs associated with intraoral disease vary, and diagnostic findings can be difficult to interpret without intraoral radiographs or advanced imaging; therefore, this disease process can be challenging to detect in its early stages. Previous studies have investigated the effects of intraoral disease on the normal oral microbiome of various domestic species.

- Amyloid goiter is a rare thyroid condition linked to AL or AA amyloidosis and sometimes associated with lipomatosis or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
- A case of a 54-year-old male with chronic gout showed a thyroid ultrasound revealing a significant nodule, leading to a total thyroidectomy that discovered amyloid deposition and microcarcinomas.
- The report emphasizes the need for careful assessment in patients with thyroid enlargement, particularly those with inflammation, and highlights the necessity for more research on the connections between inflammation, amyloid, and thyroid cancer.
Objectives: To assess the molecular profile of follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas (FCDTCs) and correlate the identified mutations with the clinical and pathological features of the affected patients.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional study of tumor samples from 100 adult patients diagnosed with FCDTC between 2010 and 2019. The patients' clinical and pathological data were collected.
