Evaluating a trainee’s progress in surgical dexterity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The local cardiac surgical training program is modelled on a one-to-one apprenticeship encompassing a number of years. Trainee progress is regularly audited and work of increasing complexity is provided, commensurate with the trainee's ability. Speed and

Nature‐Inspired Nanostructures from Multiple‐Species Biomembranes: Rational Engineering and Therapeutic Applications in Tumor‐Targeted Nanomedicine

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Naturally derived biomembrane nanostructures by mimicking evolutionarily optimized biological architectures could effectively suppress tumor growth and have emerged as a compelling strategy in translational biomedicine. This review provides a systematic overview of rational design and underlying antitumor therapeutic mechanisms of mammalian cells ...

Association Between the Degree of Arterial Contact Angle and Survival in Patients With Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the prognostic impact of arterial contact angle in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. An arterial contact angle of ≥ 90° was associated with higher R1 resection rates and worse survival outcomes.

Solving the Amyloid Paradox: Unveiling the Complex Pathogenicity of Amyloid Fibrils

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
This review addresses the gap between strong evidence for the involvement of amyloid fibrils in neurodegeneration and the failure of anti‐amyloid therapies, a phenomenon herein termed the “amyloid paradox.” To address this paradox, we provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of fibrils' pathogenic properties and mechanisms ...

Harnessing the Biological Responses Induced by Nanomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Nanomaterial (NM)‐induced toxicity can be strategically repurposed for cancer therapy. This review summarizes the mechanism by which NMs selectively activate specific cellular processes to regulate cell fate independently. We also discussed how NMs‐induced biological responses can be leveraged as therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.
