Surgery of the subaortic region is challenging because of spatial limitations. We present our technique of enhanced exposure of this region that allows for a smooth, expeditious, and safe repair of such lesions as subaortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, subaortic ventricular septal defects, and related pathologies. Using a hexagonal 6-point traction technique, approximately 84% of the cross-sectional area of the aortic root is made available to the surgeon for a transaortic subaortic resection keeping the use of retractors to a minimum. The technique ensures protection of the aortic valve leaflets and the enhanced exposure may contribute to improved surgical outcomes.

Background: With the expiration of patents for multiple biotherapeutics, biosimilars are gaining traction globally as cost-effective alternatives to the original products. Glycosylation, a critical quality attribute, makes glycosimilarity assessment pivotal for biosimilar development. Given the complexity of glycoanalytical profiles, assessing glycosimilarity is nontrivial.

Introduction: Immunotherapy is a crucial treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet analyses focusing on research priorities and trends in this field are limited. Therefore, this study employs bibliometric methods to systematically explore the current research status of immunotherapy for T1D.
Methods: Based on the Web of Science Core Collection Database, 1573 articles and review articles related to immunotherapy for T1D published from 2004 to 2023 were screened for bibliometric analysis.
