Vinay Badhwar, MD, was elected President of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons with a three-part framework emphasizing daily practice excellence, data-driven science, and measurable impact. He aims to advance collaboration across surgical disciplines and integrate the specialty into the broader healthcare ecosystem.
A systematic nuclear data evaluation of the five-nucleon 5^He system was performed using the Generalized Reduced R-matrix framework. The study provides reliable cross-sections with improved uncertainties, covering energy ranges up to 46 MeV for neutron-induced reactions and 30 MeV for deuteron-induced reactions.

Researchers measured energy correlations between two 252Cf prompt fission neutrons, finding a positive correlation at 180° and a negative correlation at 90°. These findings are crucial for developing and verifying fission physics theories, and should be considered in neutron coincidence and multiplication measurement techniques.

A late-breaking study analyzing over 2.1 million patients found that bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) and single internal thoracic artery plus radial artery (SITA+RA) strategies offer comparable long-term survival overall. The study suggests that patient age may play a crucial role in selecting the optimal conduit strategy.
Rigol DP832 Triple-Output Bench Power Supply
Rigol DP832 Triple-Output Bench Power Supply powers sensors, microcontrollers, and test circuits with programmable rails and stable outputs.
Researchers analyzed cases in the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database to identify factors predicting postoperative risk. The study found that 16.7% of adults nationwide with CHD were considered high-risk for operative mortality and serious complications after redo cardiac surgery.
Breakthrough research recommends that more than one N1 node be removed and evaluated during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study found that many cancers were identified in N1 nodes adjacent to the bronchi, highlighting the need for expanded lymph node evaluation.
A novel radiation therapy QA method has been developed by combining Monte Carlo simulation with deep learning to generate patient-specific dose verification. This integrated technology accelerates quality assurance and paves the way for efficient online adaptive radiation therapy.
