Surgical outcomes of different approaches to dissection of lymph nodes posterior to right recurrent laryngeal nerve: a retrospective comparative cohort study of endoscopic thyroidectomy via the areolar approach and via the axillo-breast approach.

Background: The American Thyroid Association (ATA) points out that lymph nodes posterior to right recurrent laryngeal nerve (LN-prRLN) should be routinely dissected. Due to the high risk of nerve injury, the lymph nodes in this area are difficult to dissect thoroughly. Although there are many approaches to endoscopic thyroidectomy, no study has been conducted on which one is more suitable.

Prognostic analysis of cuproptosis-related gene in triple-negative breast cancer.

Background: Cuproptosis is a copper-dependent cell death mechanism that is associated with tumor progression, prognosis, and immune response. However, the potential role of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear.

Patients And Methods: In total, 346 TNBC samples were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and three Gene Expression Omnibus datasets, and were classified using R software packages.

Assessment of the Bioavailability of Mercury Sulfides in Paddy Soils Using Sodium Thiosulfate Extraction - Results from Microcosm Experiments.

Mercury sulfides (HgS), one of the largest Hg sinks in the lithosphere, has long been considered to be highly inert. Recently, several HgS speciation (e.g.
