Purpose Of Review: Traditionally viewed as a passive player in circulation, the right ventricle (RV) has become a pivotal force in hemodynamics. RV failure (RVF) is a recognized complication of primary cardiac and pulmonary vascular disorders and is associated with a poor prognosis. Unlike treatments for left ventricular failure (LVF), strategies such as adrenoceptor signaling inhibition and renin-angiotensin system modulation have shown limited success in RVF.

Anemia of prematurity (AOP) is a multifactorial condition associated with congenital iron deficiency, low erythropoietin levels, a short lifespan of red blood cells, and iatrogenic blood loss. AOP is a common complication in premature infants that can adversely affect growth, development, and long-term neurocognitive outcomes. To standardize the diagnosis and treatment of AOP, the Neonatal Clinical Practice Guidelines Expert Committee and the Neonatal Evidence-Based Medicine Group of the Commission of Neonatal Medicine of the Cross-Strait Medical and Health Exchange Association, along with the Editorial Office of the , have developed the "Clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of anemia of prematurity (2025)", based on the World Health Organization's handbook for guideline development and the formulation/revision principles of Chinese clinical practice guidelines.

Background And Objective: Pectus excavatum is a common congenital chest wall abnormality characterized by a concave appearance of the chest, and minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is the surgical treatment of choice. A rapidly growing field of research is pain management in children undergoing MIRPE, with many shifts in practice occurring over the last decade. The primary objectives of this narrative review are to describe current methods of perioperative pain management and the development of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) to improve the experience of patients undergoing MIRPE.

Objectives: Instilling the principles of ethical and responsible medical research is critical for educating the next generation of clinical researchers. We developed a responsible conduct of research (RCR) workshop and associated curriculum for undergraduate trainees in a quantitative clinical research program.
Methods: Topics in this 7-module RCR workshop are relevant to undergraduate trainees in quantitative fields, many of whom are learning about these concepts for the first time.
