Researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University have developed a microfluidic chip that can recreate some of the features of radiation-induced lung injury. The lungs are very sensitive to radiation, and this can limit the application of radiotherapy to treat cancer. Accurately modeling radiation-induced lung injury could assist in developing new methods to prevent and treat the phenomenon, but it has been difficult to study this before the advent of advanced organ-on-a-chip models.

Researchers at Rice University have developed a magnetoelectric material that converts a magnetic field into an electric field. The material can be formulated such that it can be injected into the body, near a neuron, and then an alternating magnetic field can be applied to the area from outside the body. Magnetic fields are very useful in this context, as they can easily penetrate tissue without causing any damage.

This ECG was texted to me by a colleague. I assumed it was from a patient with symptoms compatible with ACS/OMI. What do you think? There is sinus rhythm with RBBB and ST Elevation in V2 which is concordant with the QRS. The ST segment in RBBB should be ST depression , discordant to the positive R'-wave (i.e., opposite direction of the upright R'-wave).
