Anti‐Icing Organogel Enables Quasi‐Homogeneous Supercooling Preservation of Mouse Hearts
An organogel interface with a large energy barrier for ice nucleation is proposed to enable a quasi‐homogeneous supercooling preservation for organs. This method does not rely on cryoprotectant agents or machine perfusion and can double the ex vivo storage time of mouse hearts.

Preventing and managing catastrophic bleeding during extracorporeal circulation.
The use of extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery and extracorporeal life support poses tremendous challenges to the hemostatic equilibrium given its diametric tendency to trigger hyper- and hypocoagulopathy.

Conversion surgery for HCC. ABSTRACT Background Since 2013, we have performed conversion surgery after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for initially unresectable locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (LA‐HCC). Methods Between 2013 and 2021, we assessed the surgical and oncological outcomes and pathological findings of patients with LA‐

Rationale for sequential extracorporeal therapy (SET) in sepsis
Sepsis and septic shock remain drivers for morbidity and mortality in critical illness. The clinical picture of patients presenting with these syndromes evolves rapidly and may be characterised by: (a) microbial host invasion, (b) establishment of an ...
