Minimal Access Cardiac Surgery
As with all areas of surgical practice, there has been a move in recent years towards minimally invasive approaches to many operations. For example, VATS lobectomy is becoming the standard of care. In cardiac surgery, I think it is fair to term these approaches as minimal access, rather than minimally invasive, since the invasiveness of the surgery, in terms of cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, the opening of cardiac chambers, and other aspects, is much the same. There is an increasing number of centres offering minimal-access cardiac surgery, and the range of procedures offered is expanding. Patients like the idea of minimal-access procedures for a range of reasons: improved cosmesis, the perception of faster recovery, and reduced pain. Interestingly, though, there remains some scepticism among the cardiac surgical community as to the true benefit of minimal-access cardiac surgery. Indeed, very few randomised controlled trials that compare outcomes to standard cardiac surgery remain.In some ways, it is this scepticism that prompts this timely Special Issue Reprint, where the current status of minimal-access cardiac surgery has been explored, together with consideration of future advances and directions, in order to provide the cardiac surgical community with a robust contemporary review of the current literature.
Addressing Challenges in Child Mental Health

This Reprint compiles recent research exploring risk and protective factors, effective interventions, and public health strategies aimed at promoting psychological well-being in young people. It highlights the importance of understanding current challenges-including stigma, limited access to services, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic-and the need for innovative strategies involving health professionals, educators, families, and communities.
Botulinum Toxin for Urinary Tract Disease
Botulinum toxin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2011 for neurogenic bladder and in 2013 for idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB). In this Special Issue, we address the question of where we stand with this therapy a decade later. Has it prevailed and been proven useful? Which techniques have become established, and how were they optimized? Are more practical ways of distribution on the way? What acceptance problems or obstacles to long-term use might exist among patients or doctors? What are the risks? Has the therapy gained a foothold in the outpatient sector?
Research on Chemical Composition and Activity of Natural Products
Nature is an inexhaustible source of biologically active substances, and interest in their research will always be relevant, regardless of whether new molecules will be discovered or new activities of already known compounds will be proven. For centuries, people have used the bounty of nature in the areas they inhabited, both for food and medicine. Today, the borders have taken on another dimension, and the accumulated knowledge about the benefits of natural products is becoming available to many more people around the world. From an ecological point of view, it is extremely important to recover waste from agriculture and the food sector, which is a potential source of biologically important molecules. Modern science allows studying the metabolism of compounds of natural origin at the cellular level, modifying natural molecules in order to obtain derivatives with better activity or lower toxicity, and conducting in-depth research on a wide range of pharmacological effects.Therefore, this Special Issue of Molecules presents the latest advances in the isolation, identification of new molecules from natural sources, biological effects of plant extracts and essential oils, and utilization of waste products.

Opioids
Millions of people across North America have been impacted by the ongoing opioid crisis, but why has it taken so long for us to make a serious dent in this crisis? And why is it still plaguing us today?Here, author Reggie Caverson, an addictions expert with over thirty years in the field, tries to answer these unwieldy questions, tracing the crisis back to its roots and offering solutions that could possibly mitigate some of the unimaginable harm caused since. In Opioids: Burying the Truth One Person at a Time, she outlines . . .- A chronology of the crisis since OxyContin was first marketed as a "miracle drug" in 1996 and the egregious mistakes that have been made by health regulators since that time- How police, as the initial whistleblower, witnessed a surge in opioid-related crimes which persist to this day- The impact on people with acute or chronic pain who continue to be prescribed highly potent and addictive opioids - The many other interwoven issues including the lack of data, the disproportionate impact on Indigenous peoples, on families, on those who have been incarcerated, on emergency responders, such as police, paramedics, and hospitals, and many others- The spill over into a new wave of addiction-related harm and crimes caused by manmade opioids such as fentanyl and other drugs found on the streetTo give hope, Caverson offers the need for an integrated four-pillar strategy aimed at addressing this crisis, focused on health promotion and prevention, addiction treatment, harm reduction, and enforcement. Powerful, compassionate, and incredibly thorough, Opioids: Burying the Truth One Person at a Time is a call for all hands on deck and the need to work together to face this crisis head-on.
Clinical Outcomes Improvement and Perioperative Management of Surgical Patients
A Guide to Surgical Assisting
A lifetime of experience distilled for the budding student, training doctors, professional assistants, and surgeonsSurgical assisting is a unique skill. Specialist surgeons and senior registrars are often not very good assistants as their roles are entirely different to that of an assistant. Of course, as a surgical assistant, it is possible to get by just standing there and doing what you're told, but this doesn't really help the specialist surgeon and certainly won't give any satisfaction or pride to the assistant. Surgical assistants who have pride in their role and do that bit more are generally in high demand.This guide should prove useful to medical students, HMO's, registrars, nurses, doctors who may occasionally be called on to assist in theatre and those that may intend to make surgical assisting a large part of their career.

The Role of Telemedicine in Transforming Healthcare Delivery
Telemedicine is vital for enhancing healthcare access, convenience, and efficiency. It overcomes traditional barriers by enabling people in remote or underserved areas to receive care without extensive travel, addressing provider shortages in isolated regions. It also supports vulnerable populations (those who are elderly or have a disability or chronic conditions) who find in-person visits difficult. Telemedicine facilitates follow-up care and chronic disease management using mobile apps and wearable devices for obtaining real-time patient data. This remote monitoring improves outcomes and reduces hospital readmissions. Implementation Challenges and Key Focus Areas: Effective implementation requires addressing healthcare disparities, reimbursement policies, and patient access to technology and training. Despite these hurdles, telemedicine is an essential tool globally.This Special Issue focuses on the following topics: Patient Education: Informing patients about benefits and availability; Provider Training: Equipping staff for virtual exams, platform use, and privacy; Remote Monitoring: Using devices to collect data for chronic condition management; Workflow Optimization: Streamlining scheduling for efficient appointments; Telemedicine Apps: Developing user-friendly apps for scheduling, reminders, and records; Emergency Protocols: Establishing clear procedures for virtual appointment emergencies.
Biomechanics-Based Motion Analysis, Volume II

Advancements in technology now enable researchers to apply state-of-the-art systems, devices, and algorithms across a broad spectrum-from external body movement to internal cellular response, from controlled lab settings to outdoor environments, and from bench experiments to clinical applications.This Special Issue focuses on recent research and developments in biomechanics and motion analysis. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: upper-limb and lower-limb biomechanics, spinal biomechanics, motion capture and analysis, interface biomechanics, shear force and pressure in ergonomics, computational orthopedics, physical ergonomics, sports engineering, rehabilitation engineering, human-environment biomechanical interaction, postural stability, balance and gait control, computer vision algorithms for motion analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) in biomechanics and motion capture, motion tracking and detection, and wearable devices for biomechanical and motion analysis.
Future Challenges for the Diagnosis and Management of Affective Disorders
This Special Issue presents preclinical and clinical research aimed at reframing the diagnosis and treatment of affective disorders beyond classical neurobiological models. It includes a meta-analysis comparing single- versus two-dose psilocybin administration in major depressive disorder, clarifying its efficacy and dose-dependency. Another study uses network analysis of exposome scores to link environmental exposure with multidimensional psychopathology in non-clinical samples, while the effects of light pollution on affective health highlight chronobiological disruption in mood disorder etiology.Diagnostic and clinical dimensions are explored through research on polarity at bipolar disorder onset, mapping temperamental correlates and long-term trajectories. Biomarker studies report elevated mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels associated with suicidal ideation in major depressive disorder and evaluate BDNF's validity in bipolar disorder. Perinatal and familial aspects are explored in a structural equation modeling study showing how attachment-related coping mediates postpartum depressive symptoms and which develops a protocol for a randomized clinical trial for a psychoeducational family intervention in major depressive disorder. Together, these contributions outline a multidimensional landscape integrating environmental, temperamental, biological, and psychosocial determinants.
Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a major global public health problem and a leading driver of healthcare use and its associated costs. Clinical management remains challenging because chronic pain is multidimensional and requires a patient-centred approach that is consistent with the current biopsychosocial paradigm. Importantly, more than 85% of presentations are labelled "non-specific", highlighting the limited diagnostic yield of conventional imaging for identifying a single pathoanatomical cause. Pain chronification arises from interacting mechanisms spanning molecular, psychological, and social levels, creating an urgent need for high-quality research that refines diagnostic strategies, improves patient stratification, and enables more targeted care.This Special Issue includes the following topics: imaging and neuroimaging; somatosensory profiling (e.g., quantitative sensory testing); clinical prediction and risk models; biomarkers and digital phenotyping; new proposals for clinically meaningful phenotypes or endotypes; evaluations of diagnostic pathways; and demonstrations of how improved classification informs treatment selection, prognosis, and patient-relevant outcomes. The overarching aim is to move beyond the broad-and often unhelpful-category of "non-specific" chronic pain.
Antimicrobial Resistance and Therapy in Intensive Care Unit
This Reprint brings together cutting-edge contributions that address the acute and evolving challenge of antimicrobial resistance in the intensive care setting. Critically ill patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) face a disproportionate burden of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms, demanding a rigorous appraisal of both epidemiological trends and therapeutic strategies. In this collection we highlight three interconnected domains: (1) the dynamic epidemiology of key pathogens in ICUs, including Gram-negative bacilli, non-fermenters, and other high-risk bacteria; (2) advances in microbiological diagnostics-encompassing rapid molecular methods, phenotypic detection, and real-time therapeutic guidance techniques; and (3) optimization of antimicrobial therapy grounded in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, novel agents, and stewardship frameworks tailored to the critical-care environment. The aim is to offer clinicians, microbiologists, and researchers a coherent resource that merges mechanistic insights with practical treatment algorithms for complex resistance mechanisms. By integrating surveillance data, therapeutic case series, and reviews of emerging antimicrobials, this Reprint supports evidence-based decision-making and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration in the fight against antimicrobial resistance in intensive care.

Oncology, Lymphology and beyond
The clinical and scientific knowledge about oncological rehabilitation, chronic edema and scar management has significantly increased in recent years.Unfortunately, physiotherapeutic approaches have not evolved at the same rate, and a gap remains between the scientific evidence and clinical practice.Oncology, lymphology and beyond bridges this gap: it provides a physiotherapeutic point of view on a patient-centered care model by integrating both scientific and clinical evidence.

Practical take-home messages will help physiotherapists and other health-care workers enhance the quality of their patient care.

Chronic Wisdom
What if surviving the unimaginable became the beginning of discovering who you truly are?For nearly three decades, Karen Humphries has lived inside a body shaped by chronic illness, disability, profound grief, life as an ostomate, and the daily reality of incurable stage 4 cancer. Her story is not one of easy answers, miraculous recoveries, or neatly tied endings. It is the story of a woman who had to rebuild herself again and again ― in the waiting rooms, in the quiet hours of uncertainty, and in the moments when life felt too heavy to carry.Chronic Wisdom: One woman's story of survival, strength and self-discovery invites readers into the raw and intimate truth of that journey. With unfiltered honesty and surprising warmth, Karen shares the chapters of her life that most people never see: the fear, the loss, the exhaustion of living with an unpredictable body, and the heartbreak of dreams that never came to be. Yet woven through every struggle is something far more powerful ― a steady thread of hope, clarity, and courage that reveals itself at the most unexpected times.This memoir is not about "fighting" cancer or defeating illness. Instead, Karen shows what it means to live in flow with your circumstances, to stop resisting what is, and to find meaning in the space between who you were and who you are becoming. Along the way, she uncovers the Seven Wisdoms ― the lessons that helped her reclaim her identity, rebuild her wellbeing, and rediscover her purpose when life kept pulling her off course.These wisdoms grew from lived experience: the kind that breaks you open, strips away what no longer matters, and reveals what truly does. Karen learned them slowly ― through tears, through laughter, through moments of stillness, and through the quiet realisations that come when everything else falls away.Chronic Wisdom speaks to anyone who has ever faced a diagnosis, a detour, or a season where the path forward felt painfully unclear. It is a book for those who have survived more than they ever speak about, for those living with grief that doesn't show, and for those learning to navigate a life they never planned.Karen wrote this memoir so no one walking through illness, loss, or uncertainty ever feels alone again. Her story is uniquely hers ― yet in its honesty, you may find reflections of your own strength, your own resilience, and your own unfolding self-discovery.
