Indocyanine green (ICG) guided thyroidectomy versus conventional thyroidectomy and the impact on parathyroid function preservation: an updated GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Thyroidectomy carries a significant risk of parathyroid gland injury, with transient hypoparathyroidism occurring in 15–50% of cases and permanent hypoparathyroidism in up to 5%, resulting in lifelong morbidity. Near-infrared (NIR) autofluorescence imaging com...

The Senescent Heart’s Hidden Drain: Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype–Mediated Cardiac Lymphatic Dysfunction as a Novel Mechanistic Axis in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Narrative Review

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents the dominant and most therapeutically recalcitrant phenotype of heart failure in the contemporary era, yet its pathophysiology remains incompletely delineated. This narrative review advances a novel mechanistic fra...
