Background: A war has a catastrophic effect on veterans' health. However, there is a knowledge gap about the veterans' rehabilitation system, requirements, and the satisfaction of doctor-organizers. The present study aims to assess the level of satisfaction of the doctor-organizers of health care with the existing rehabilitation system for anti-terrorist operation (ATO) veterans in Ukraine.

Background: Observed patient survival after cardiothoracic interventions should ideally be placed in the context of matched-general-population survival. This study outlines several methodologies of matching general population mortality to the study sample, subsequently calculating cumulative matched-general-population survival, highlighting their respective advantages, disadvantages, and limitations.
Methods: A multicenter data set containing survival data after the Ross procedure was used for methodological illustration.

Organ-on-a-chip (OoC) is a breakthrough technology in biomedicine. As microphysiological systems constructed , OoCs can simulate the main structures and functions of human organs, thereby providing a powerful tool for drug screening and disease model construction. Furthermore, the coupling of OoCs and sensors has been an innovative discovery in the field of biomedical and electronic engineering in recent years.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibition has revolutionized the management of metastatic melanoma, including in the final stages of disease progression: because it is well tolerated, some teams do not discontinue it in hopes of slowing disease progression. The risks are that treatment may be continued unnecessarily, causing side effects, and reduce access to specialist palliative care, in addition to increasing the cost of treatment.
Method: We explored the experiences of 10 patients in a university hospital with metastatic melanoma under continued immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with specialist palliative care.
