On October 24, the Chicago Chapter of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (CHIBPSA) introduced a scholarship for undergraduate and graduate students named after Ralph Muehleisen, a building scientist and engineer at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. CHIBPSA will award the scholarship to university students pursuing careers in building science and building performance modeling. The scholarship’s name honors Muehleisen for his contributions to the field of building energy modeling and his professional involvement in CHIBPSA, IBPSA-USA, and ASHRAE.
Scientists widely accept the existence of quarks, the elusive fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons. But information about their properties is still lacking.
An expert panel assembled by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) is developing an evidence-based clinical practice guideline that aims to reduce variability, identify optimal testing, and improve the accurate diagnosis of patients with monoclonal gammopathies (MGs).
Eleven Chicago scientists-turned-comedians — many of whom hail from some of the nation’s most renowned research institutes, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory — cast aside their lab coats for a chance to educate the public through unconventional means. The troupe, including Argonne’s own James Dolan, a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Molecular Engineering, used improvisational comedy to entertain some 80 guests inside Hyde Park’s The Revival theater in a new production called “The Excited State” in October.

The Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) has updated its evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of adults with metastatic brain tumors, first published in 2010.
A new review by researchers from the University of Calabria (Italy) explores OCTNs, a small but intriguing group of transporters that are opening new frontiers in drug design research for improving drug delivery and predicting drug-drug interactions.
Tad A. Gomez, RPh, MS, FASHP, has been named president of Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, effective February 25, 2019.
Headlines filled with frightening news of opioid abuse, overdoses and reports that 90 percent of addictions start in the teen years could make any parent worry. Yet parents remain conflicted about opioids: while more than half express concern their child may be at risk for opioid addiction, nearly two-thirds believe opioids are more effective at managing their child’s pain after surgery or a broken bone than non-prescription medication or other alternatives, according to a nationwide survey commissioned by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
The focus for asthma treatment is often stepping up treatment, but clinicians need to know how to step down therapy when symptoms improve.
Loyola Medicine is participating in a landmark trial of a new radiation treatment for patients with glioblastoma. After the tumor is removed, a high, focused dose of radiation is delivered directly to the tumor cavity to kill any microscopic cancer cells left behind.
