Focus on “Cardiopulmonary Interactions” edited by Dr. Antoine Vieillard-Baron

This new issue of Annals of Translational Medicine is dedicated to the discussion of issues concerning the heart-lung interactions in critically-ill patients. This is indeed a key subject for several reasons: (I) many patients in the ICU are submitted to positive pressure ventilation; (II) the possible application of heart-lung interactions to bedside old but still very actual physiology makes for exciting study; (III) development of critical care echocardiography allows physicians to easily and accurately evaluate heart-lung interactions in the ICU;

Focus on “Rare and orphan disorders: an emerging challenge?” edited by Prof. Giuseppe Lippi and Dr. Elisa Danese

Rare (often called “orphan”) diseases are conventionally defined as those affecting a very low number of individuals, but which can be associated with inappropriate management, chronic debilitation and adverse health outcome, up to death. This problematic definition is, quite understandably, a major drawback that many scientists, clinicians and laboratory professionals recognize while facing very uncommon pathologies.

Focus on “Cardiovascular Disease and Cardiometabolic Risk: Advances in Understanding Pathophysiology, Public Health Burden and Clinical Care” edited by Prof. Keith C. Ferdinand

This special issue of the ATM provides perspectives on cardiovascular disease (CVD) not only in the United States (US), but also worldwide. We present a global, comprehensive view of innovative research, reviews, editorials and perspectives from basic science at the bench level to clinic interventions and public health considerations. While this edition of ATM builds on much of the research and clinical care conducted at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, it also highlights provocative insights from other authors from the USA, along with articles from basic science researchers, clinicians and public health specialists from Africa, Europe, Asia and South America.

Focus on “4th Hong Kong International Oncology Symposium 2017” edited by Dr. William C. S. Cho and Dr. Joseph S. K. Au

With the advent of technology, we are now at a turning point in the history of cancer management. The aim of the Hong Kong International Oncology Symposium is to bring those innovations likely to have an important impact on cancer management to the professional community. Our theme for this year’s symposium is newer immunotherapeutic approaches, functional genomics and precision medicine, advances in precision radiotherapy, including proton therapy and updates on the management of lung and urogenital cancers.

Focus on “Quality in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy” edited by Dr. Konstantinos Triantafyllou, Dr. Spyridon Michopoulos and Dr. Cesare Hassan

In this special issue, invited authors highlighted specific issues regarding quality assessment and improvement of endoscopic service provision which are not usually covered in the available guidelines. We believe that readers will enjoy this focused issue that aims to provide further simplified guidance for the implementation and monitor of performance measures at their practice, so that patients can get the highest possible care.

Introduction of ATM “Corresponding Authors” Column

Annals of Translational Medicine (ATM) editorial office has launched a column called "Corresponding Authors" to highlight their works published in AMT in order to express our gratitude for their continuous support to our journal.

Focus on “Molecular Medicine” edited by Dr. Christina Piperi and Dr. Athanasios G. Papavassiliou

Welcome to this thematic issue of Annals of Translational Medicine on the recent advances of the ever-expanding field of molecular medicine. The present volume attempts to cover current genetic, molecular, or cellular aspects of main subject areas including microbiology, haematology, biomechanics, oncology, endocrinology, pharmacology, cardiology and hepatology. It is primarily focused on recent developments on molecular biomarkers and current technologies that elucidate disease pathogenesis and may lead to the design of specific tools for diagnosis, treatment, or disease prevention

Focus on “Translational approach to investigation of solid tumor malignancies” edited by Dr. Emil Lou

Articles from these leading researchers, taken together, effectively paint the picture on a wide canvas and shine a spotlight on critical issues facing the translational oncology community. These leading experts provide a state-of-the-art assessment of timely questions spanning cancer research, from bedside to clinic (and back), including but not limited to accurate molecular assessment of genomic profiles, predictive and prognostic biomarkers, determination of appropriate treatments based on economic profiles, and also the financial toxicity stemming from the recent new wave of effective but expensive cancer-targeting therapies in lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer.

Focus on “Breakthroughs in the Treatment of Advanced Lung Cancer: Making Progress Through Innovation” edited by Dr. Giannis Mountzios

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related death worldwide, with approximately 1.6 million deaths recorded in 2015. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80–85% of cases. Despite broad advances in diagnostics and therapy, the 5-year overall survival for patients with advanced NSCLC has not significantly changed over the past few years. Following the decoding of human cancer genome and the advent of therapies targeting driver mutations, the choice of systemic therapy changed from “one size fits all” approach to a more precise selection of biologic therapies targeting distinct genetic profiles, the so-called “precision” medicine.

Focus on “Art of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery” edited by Dr. Roger Härtl and Dr. Ai-Min Wu

This special issue reports the newest MISS techniques in the treatment of a wide spectrum of spinal disorders. This timely issue will be extremely useful to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurological surgeons, and young scientists who are interested in MISS. As MISS is still in its evolution, we also hope that this issue can bring some inspiration to readers to contribute to its progress.

Impact of sleep apnea on in-hospital outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: insight from National Inpatient Sample database 2011–2014

Sleep apnea is associated with worse outcomes following various kinds of surgeries. There is a paucity of data on the association of sleep apnea with clinical outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

MDA5 autoantibody—another indicator of clinical diversity in dermatomyositis

Allenbach and colleagues have recently reported for the first time the results of an intriguing study of the histopathologic, immunopathologic and gene expression differences in muscle biopsy tissue from adult dermatomyositis (DM) patients who do and do not have circulating MDA5 autoantibodies (anti-MDA5). Anti-MDA5 were originally identified in a clinically-defined subset of DM patients whose disease was expressed predominately in the skin for unusually long periods of time without accompanying muscle weakness [i.e., “clinically-amyopathic DM” (CADM)] and were at risk for acute, rapidly-progressive form of interstitial lung disease (ILD)...
