Background And Objective: Patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) are often asymptomatic but present acutely with life threatening complications that necessitate emergency intervention. Aortic diameter measurement using computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring. However, manual measurement can create challenges in clinical workflows due to its time-consuming, labour-intensive nature and susceptibility to human error.

Orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) represents the standard of care for managing patients affected by end-stage and life-threatening liver diseases. Although a significant improvement in surgical techniques, immunosuppressant regimens, and prompt identification of early post-transplant complications resulted in better clinical outcome and survival in OLT recipients, the occurrence of early bacterial infections still represents a remarkable cause of morbidity and mortality. In this scenario, beta-lactams are the most frequent antimicrobials used in critical OLT recipients.

Drug resistance is a major challenge in cancer therapy that often leads to treatment failure and disease relapse. Despite advancements in chemotherapeutic agents and targeted therapies, cancers often develop drug resistance, making these treatments ineffective. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained attention for their potential applications in drug delivery because of their natural origin, biocompatibility, and ability to cross biological barriers.

We investigated several small viral proteins that reside and function in cellular membranes. These proteins belong to the viroporin family because they assemble into ion-conducting oligomers. However, despite forming similar oligomeric structures with analogous functions, these proteins have diverse amino acid sequences.
