For students, white-collar professional, or engineers who spends a lot of time on the computer, the default white background can put a lot of strain on the eyes. I found using dark mode can make a difference, reducing the eye strain over extended periods. Below are some approaches to enable dark mode in Chrome:There are numerous extensions that can turn your websites dark, providing flexibility in controlling the degree of darkness and allowing for whitelisting.

1. IntroductionNotoriously, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs), including coronary disease, ischemic heart disease, and hypertension, remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide [1]. Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is the process by which cholesterol is transported from peripheral tissues (including arterial wall foam cells in atherosclerotic plaques) to the liver by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and then to the bile for intestinal excretion [2].

BackgroundCombined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is characterized by the coexistence of biliary and hepatocellular differentiation (Nagtegaal et al., 2020). The incidence of cHCC-CCA among the other primary liver cancers varies from 0.4% to 14.2% (Seehawer et al., 2019). The clinical outcome is rather poor due to tumor aggressiveness, higher risk of recurrence, and extra-hepatic involvement.
