Non-invasive lobular neoplasia (LN) encompasses atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), classic lobular carcinoma in situ (CLCIS), florid lobular carcinoma in situ (FLCIS), and pleomorphic lobular carcinoma in situ (PLCIS). Lobular neoplasia is a neoplastic epithelial proliferation of the terminal duct lobular unit. A defining feature is discohesion due to the loss of E-cadherin, a protein that facilitates cell-to-cell adhesion.

Background: The clinical impact of genetic testing in a contemporary real-life cohort of patients with heritable cardiomyopathies or arrhythmias is not well defined. Additionally, the genetic spectrum of these conditions in the French-Canadian population is unknown, and interpretation of genetic variants can be challenging because of a known founder effect.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the clinical utility of arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy genetic testing and assess the utility of allele frequency data from a local reference population.

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common sleep-disordered breathing condition that exhibits a notable degree of heterogeneity, a feature not fully considered in current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This article reviews and analyzes research progress in the subtyping of OSAHS from multiple perspectives, including clinical feature-based subtyping, comorbidity-based subtyping, polysomnography (PSG) parameter-based subtyping, and other classification approaches. Existing studies have identified common subtypes based on clinical features and clarified the characteristics of different subgroups in comorbidity-based classifications; the rich data provided by PSG have helped optimize the classification of OSAHS; and multi-dimensional clustering has provided a more precise basis for individualized treatment.

Objectives: We aimed to estimate the prevalence of chronic bronchitis (CB), examine its association with occupational exposure to irritants assessed by self-reporting or the Nordic job exposure matrix (N-JEM) stratified by smoking status and estimate the population-attributable fraction (PAF) of CB from occupational exposure.
Methods: A two-phased, cross-sectional design was used to analyse a random sample collected in 2013 and 2018 of the population aged 16-55 years in Telemark County, Norway. CB was defined as cough and sputum production for ≥3 months over 2 consecutive years.

In-transit metastases (ITM) are estimated to occur in 5-10% of primary cutaneous melanomas. They are classified as stage III disease in the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification system and are associated with approximately a 30% 10-year survival rate. The management of ITM is not standardized.
