Human NK cells and cancer by Claudia Cantoni, Michela Falco, Massimo Vitale, Gabriella Pietra, Enrico Munari, Daniela Pende, Maria Cristina Mingari, Simona Sivori, Lorenzo Moretta

“…In addition, NK cells can adapt their activity in response to a complex body of signals, spanning from the interaction with either suppressive or stimulating cells (myeloid-derived suppressor cells or dendritic cells, respectively) to the engagement of various receptors (specific for immune checkpoints, cytokines, tumor/viral ligands, or mediating antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity). According to this picture, the idea of an easy and generalized exploitation of NK cells is changing, and the way is opening toward new carefully designed, combined and personalized therapeutic strategies, also based on the use of genetically modified NK cells and stimuli capable of strengthening and redirecting their effector functions against cancer.…”

Contemporary surgical strategies for pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis: a comprehensive review by Hanne Oscé, Jeroen Meulemans, Greet Hens

“…BackgroundPediatric laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) presents a complex and heterogeneous clinical challenge, requiring individualized surgical approaches to restore airway patency and function. Depending on stenosis severity, anatomical site, and comorbidities, a range of surgical techniques—including laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR), partial cricotracheal resection (PCTR), extended PCTR, and endoscopic posterior cricoid split with rib grafting (EPCS/RG)—may be employed.MethodsThis narrative review synthesizes current surgical strategies for pediatric LTS based on current literature, highlighting their indications, operative considerations, and reported outcomes. …”

Analysis and Simulation of Overmodulation Modes of a Three-Inverter Block of the Photovoltaic Installation by Oleschuk V.

“…This goal is achieved by the fact that the process of two-stage control of the system in the zone of overmodulation of inverters is carried out on the basis of synchronized phase shifts between the control signals of inverters (a constant phase shift, as well as an additional adjustable phase shift between the inverter signals as a function of the duration of clock subintervals), with an appropriate modification of the algorithms of synchronous PWM of inverters due to the inclusion of two specialized correction factors in the basic functional dependencies. …”
