Objectives: This study aims to develop a nomogram to predict high-volume (> 5) lymph node metastases (HVLNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma concomitant with Hashimoto's thyroiditis by combining ultrasound with clinicopathologic data.
Materials And Methods: The study reviewed 187 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) concomitant with Hashimoto's thyroiditis from the First People's Hospital of Kunshan between March 2018 and December 2022. These patients underwent preoperative ultrasound and postoperative examinations.

Urinary tract injuries represent a significant clinical challenge, necessitating precise diagnosis and effective treatment strategies. Rat models are preferred for studying urinary tract injuries due to their size, visibility of external genitalia, and robust reproductive and growth capabilities. However, there is a lack of standardized methodologies for evaluating the endpoints of rat urinary tract injury models.

Background: Serum levels of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6), a key biomarker of aging, were identified as a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD), but whether SIRT6 can distinguish severity of coronary artery lesions in older adult patients is unknown.
Objectives: This study developed a nomogram to demonstrate the functionality of SIRT6 in assessing severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis.
Methods: Patients aged 60 years and older with angina pectoris were screened for this single-center clinical study between October 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023.

Rationale: Follicular tumors with uncertain malignant potential of the thyroid are a new classification of thyroid tumors in the World Health Organization (2017). Only a few cases of evaluating the value of ultrasound combined with pathological examination in diagnosing follicular tumors with uncertain malignant potential of the thyroid have been reported in recent decades.
Patient Concerns: A retrospective analysis was performed on 18 patients with follicular tumors with uncertain thyroid malignant potential who underwent preoperative ultrasonography and were confirmed by operation and pathology in our hospital from January 2019 to November 2024.

Objectives: This study analyzed carotid artery remodeling characteristics in early carotid atherosclerosis (ECAS).
Methods: The 1021 participants were evaluated using ultrasonography and categorized into three groups: Group A, 391 participants with increased intima-media thickness (IMT); Group B, 300 participants with atherosclerotic plaque only on the carotid bulb (CB); and the control group (330 participants). The ratios of the diameters in the CB to those in the common carotid artery (D) and internal carotid artery (D) were defined as carotid index1 (CI) and 2 (CI).
