Background: Gynecomastia (GM) is a common benign proliferation of male breast tissue that can significantly impact patients' physical and mental health. Endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy (ESCM) has emerged as a promising minimally invasive approach for treating GM. However, the relative efficacy of different techniques for creating operative space during ESCM remains unclear.

An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become pandemic worldwide. A better understanding of asymptomatic infections is crucial to prevent and control this epidemic. Here, we report the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of a family cluster with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

- The study examined the relationship between BRAF gene mutations and TSHR protein expression in thyroid tissues to assess their impact on local tissue invasion and lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).
- Analysis methods included qPCR and immunohistochemistry, showing that BRAF mutations were linked to more aggressive cancer characteristics, such as larger tumor size and more lymph node involvement.
- Although BRAF mutations and TSHR expression were not directly correlated, both markers could provide valuable insights when used together to predict PTMC behavior and inform clinical decisions.
