Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that regulate translation or degradation of target mRNAs. Therefore, miRNAs control gene expression in many biological processes, including proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Deregulation of miRNAs expression is an important contributor to tumour development and progression. Even though several genetic and epigenetic lesions have been identified in human thyroid cancer, particularly in the papillary histoty...

Objectives: Most transgender persons (0.3-0.5% of total population) are under gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Several studies have reported an increased morbimortality due to cardiovascular events (CVE), infectious disease and suicide. However, these studies were made on small populations and short follow up. We evaluated the changes on anthropometric variables, risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and CVE at 5 and 10 years of follow up in a transgender popu...
