Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a highly aggressive malignancy with poor therapeutic outcomes due to its desmoplastic tumor microenvironment (TME), hindering drug and activated immune cell penetration. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are central in supporting tumor growth and forming a protective stroma. We propose a novel dual-therapy targeting the Hippo pathway and histone deacetylation, both involved in tumor progression, resistance, and stromal interactions, to overcome PDAC therapeutic resistance.

Pericardial effusion (PCE) represents a significant postoperative complication following congenital heart surgery (CHS), contributing to more complex postoperative care and heightened morbidity. In this study, we aim to elucidate the risk factors contributing to PCE development post-CHS through analysis of data from a nationwide, multi-institutional database. Review of the Pediatric Health Information System Database from January 1, 2004, to December 30, 2023.

Objective: Patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease often require multiple operations, which may have a cumulative effect on their outcomes. This study aimed to define the cardiac surgical course in a large cohort and identify longitudinal risk factors for death/transplant.
Methods: All patients with heterotaxy-associated congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery at one institution from 2005 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: Fontan-associated liver disease can progress to advanced fibrosis, raising the potential need for combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) in selected patients. However, the benefits of CHLT over isolated orthotopic heart transplantation (HT), particularly in terms of mortality, remain uncertain. In this systematic review, we compared mortality outcomes following CHLT versus HT in patients with Fontan circulation, with the aim of supporting clinical decision-making.
