Cancer is the second foremost cause of fatalities associated with non-communicable diseases across the globe, affecting multiple organs and often necessitating costly treatments with adverse side effects. Apoptosis, the body's natural cell death process, plays a crucial role in the prevention of cancer, but it's often disrupted in cancer cells, allowing uncontrolled proliferation. Restoring apoptosis in cancer cells is one of the promising therapeutic strategies to curb tumor growth and enhance clinical outcomes.

The use of cardiac devices, including mechanical circulatory support (MCS), cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), and pacing wires, has increased and significantly improved survival in patients with severe cardiac failure. However, these devices are frequently associated with acute brain injuries (ABIs) including ischemic strokes, intracranial hemorrhages, seizures, and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury which contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the standard imaging modalities for ABI diagnosis, can pose significant challenges in this patient population due to the risks associated with patient transportation and the incompatibility of ferromagnetic components of certain cardiac devices with high magnetic field of the MRI.
