Newswise: University of Oklahoma Biomedical Engineering Researcher Ready to Transform TBI Surgery
Released: 19-Sep-2022 11:05 AM EDT
University of Oklahoma Biomedical Engineering Researcher Ready to Transform TBI Surgery
University of Oklahoma, Gallogly College of Engineering

Patients who suffer a severe traumatic brain injury must undergo two surgeries: one to remove a part of the skull to allow the brain to swell and another surgery to replace the missing bone after brain swelling subsides. University of Oklahoma biomedical engineering researcher Michael Detamore and his team may have found a way to reduce the number of surgeries to just one.

Fungi, destroyers of tempera, can be used in pharmacy
Scientific Project Lomonosov

The ability of microfungi to destruct organic compounds can be the object of envy for any processing plant. However, they sometimes destroy things that people prefer to keep safe – for example, paints of the masterpieces. The good news is that some of their biochemical reactions can be used in pharmacy.

Newswise: Artificial Breathing System Reveals Alveoli Function in Lungs

Artificial Breathing System Reveals Alveoli Function in Lungs
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In Biomicrofluidics, scientists in China created a model alveolar system that mimics the breathing action of the human lung and allows visualization of flow patterns within the alveoli. The chip they designed includes tubes arranged like the structure of a bifurcation point in the bronchial network. The upper layer of the chip is made of a flexible polymer molded into small tubes that mimic the alveolar structure. The lower layer is glass, which allows the authors to visualize fluid flow through the tubes.
