TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.

TL;DR: The ability to give feedback, experience, availability of time and a positive attitude were the elements considered important for mentors, and support by mentoring courses, additional study and especially of link lecturers proved to be beneficial.

TL;DR: Thrombolysis is the first-line treatment for obstructive PVT, independent of NYHA class and thrombus size if there are no contraindications, and anticoagulant therapy is recommended only for small, non-obstructive PVt if anticoAGulation had been subtherapeutic.

TL;DR: For hospital mortality and long-term mortality, a need for urgent surgery was the most determining factor, and age >80 years was the second most important factor, but previous myocardial infarction and need for digitalis were almost equally important.

TL;DR: A malignant tumor in the history is the most prognostic factor after cardiac surgery, but the operation is still rewarding, if the time interval between the occurrence of the malignant tumors and cardiac surgery is short.
