Article Abstract

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery involves the integration of multidisciplinary expertise, requiring collaboration among clinical perfusionists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and patients. This updated guideline, developed by the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, the European Association for Cardiothoracic Anesthesia and Intensive Care, and the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion, incorporates the latest evidence to offer evidence-based recommendations for CPB. It expands on previous guidelines by addressing a broader range of CPB-related factors that impact patient outcomes. Although significant advances have been made in CPB technology and techniques, significant knowledge gaps remain. Bridging these gaps requires coordinated effort from all stakeholders in cardiac surgery, ensuring that future revisions of the guidelines are more comprehensive, practical, and applicable across various clinical settings. Ongoing improvements in CPB outcomes are contingent upon continued collaboration among cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, intensivists, and perfusionists, supported by specialized training programs in accredited institutions. These efforts aim to enhance patient safety, optimize CPB procedures, and improve overall cardiac surgery outcomes. This manuscript provides an overview of the key changes introduced in the new guidelines.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.

Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, molecular heterogeneity, and therapy resistance. Key biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 have revolutionized precision oncology; however, comprehensive structural and clinical validation of these targets is crucial to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Methods: Protein sequences for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 were retrieved from UniProt and modeled using SWISS-MODEL to generate high-confidence 3D structures.
