Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Variability in thyroid function test requests across general practices in south-west England.
, 2013 The number of thyroid function tests (TFTs) performed in the UK and other countries has increased considerably in recent years. Inconsistent clinical practice associated with inappropriate requests for tests is thought to be an important cause for this ...

Thyroid function and postmenopause
Gynecological Endocrinology, 2003 There is an increasing prevalence of high levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) with age - particularly in postmenopausal women - which are higher than in men. The incidence of thyroid disease in a population of postmenopausal women is as follows: clinical thyroid disease, about 2.4%; subclinical thyroid disease, about 23.2%. Among the group with

Interobserver agreement of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) and strain elastography for the assessment of thyroid nodules [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) was developed to improve patient management and cost-effectiveness by avoiding unnecessary fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with thyroid nodules.

Attomolar Detection of HIV‐1 With Label‐Free RCA‐rCRISPR on Smartphone
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A new diagnostic strategy integrating rolling circle amplification (RCA) with a plasmid reporter–based ratiometric CRISPR (rCRISPR) system was developed to detect unfragmented HIV genomes with single‐digit attomolar sensitivity. The method quantifies targets using the plasmid relaxation ratio and employs a smartphone‐based mini‐gel device to enable ...

Genetic drivers of etiologic heterogeneity in thyroid cancer
Nature CommunicationsThyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy, yet its biological underpinnings remain incompletely understood. Here we show that common risk alleles for thyroid cancer point to distinct biological pathways underlying disease susceptibility.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The adipocyte MKK3–p38β axis emerges as an adaptive stress‐response pathway during obesity. Human visceral adipose tissue analyses, adipocyte‐specific mouse models, and primary adipocytes show that the MKK3–p38β axis supports insulin responsiveness by restraining p70S6K‐dependent inhibitory IRS1 feedback and preserving AKT–GLUT4 signaling. This pathway

Functional role of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor in thyroid cancer [PDF]
, 2009 Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy and its incidence is increasing worldwide. We previously found that normal rat thyroid cells, transduced with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC)-related oncogenes, display an inflammatory signature, that
