Post hepatectomy Liver Failure (PHLF is a fatal complication, especially after major liver resection. Insufficient remnant liver volume is a common cause of postoperative liver failure. Many strategies have been applied to induce the remnant liver hypertrophy: Portal vein embolization (PVE), PVE combined with hepatic vein embolization (LVD), two staged liver resection, Associated liver partition with portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS).

- - The study evaluated 30 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent right hepatectomy using a combination of two techniques: the extrahepatic Glissonean pedicle approach and liver hanging maneuver, all performed by a single surgeon from March 2020 to August 2023.
- - Results showed that the majority of patients were male (96.7%) with an average age of 54.9 years; the surgery had a low complication rate, with no transfusions needed and a mean hospital stay of about 9 days, though 43.3% experienced recurrence.
- - The 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year survival rates post-surgery were 86.1%,
Introduction: Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease that often has a latent period after the initial infection. Tuberculosis most often affects the lungs but it can also affect other parts of the body. Vietnam is in pandemic area of tuberculosis.

This paper aims to present a novel hybrid algorithm called MEMINV, which combines the Memetic algorithm with the Inverse method to tackle the MS-RCPSP problem. The proposed algorithm utilizes the inverse method to identify local extremes and then relocates the population to explore new solution spaces for further evolution.
