Global burden of thyroid cancer among adolescents and young adults, 1990-2021, and projections to 2050: an analysis based on the GBD 2021.

Objective: To evaluate the global burden of thyroid cancer (TC) among adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 15-39 years from 1990 to 2021, with projections to 2050, and identify demographic and regional disparities.

Methods: Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, we analyzed incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries. Time-series projections to 2050 were generated using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models.

The effect of green tea on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis.

Background: To systematically evaluate the effect of green tea on patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: A computer search Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and other Chinese and English databases were conducted for randomized controlled trials of green tea in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. The duration of these trials spanned from the establishment of the database to January 10, 2024.

Genetically predicted serum metabolites mediate the association between inflammatory proteins and polycystic ovary syndrome: a Mendelian randomization study.

Objective: To investigate the association between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and inflammatory proteins, and to identify and quantify the role of serum metabolites as potential mediators.

Methods: Utilizing summary-level data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS), we conducted a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis, a genetic approach that uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to assess the causal relationships between risk factors and outcomes. This analysis involved genetically predicted PCOS (1,639 cases and 218,970 controls) and inflammatory proteins (14,824 participants of primarily European descent).

Morpho-molecular analysis of two new species and in Agaricales from Mount Tianmu, China.

Two new species of Agaricales, and , are described from Mount Tianmu, Zhejiang Province, Eastern China. Two new species are distinct and monophyletic based on morphology and phylogenetic analyses. differs from other species in that the pileus is brow shallow in the center and stipe with yellowish white fibrils, scatted on litter under coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest at 1162 m.
