TL;DR: Polytetrafluoroethylene graft replacement of the superior vena cava should be part of the planning and execution of radical excision with curative intent of mediastinal and right pulmonary malignant tumors that are not present with other contraindications, such as pleural or distant metastasis and severe systemic disease.

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that human cardiac cells are able to secrete IL-6, but also LIF and IL-11 in vitro, involved in an autocrine and/or a paracrine networks regulating myocardial cyto-protection, hypertrophy and fibrosis.

TL;DR: Data indicate that TRPC6 and CFTR are functionally and reciprocally coupled within a molecular complex in airway epithelial human cells.

TL;DR: The increase of IL-6 after artery bypass grafting was similar between patients operated with CPB or without CPB, and it is suggested that the decrease of sgp130 sera levels could further enhance the inflammatory effects ofIL-6 in cardiac surgery.

TL;DR: Sutureless valves were noninferior to stented valves with respect to major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular events at 1 year in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (alone or with coronary artery bypass grafting), which suggests that sutureless valve should be considered as part of a comprehensive valve program.
