American Thoracic Society Responds to Intravenous Fluid Shortage
American Thoracic Society (ATS)

Disruptions in manufacturing operations after Hurricanes Helene and Milton have significantly affected the supply of life-saving IV fluids, leaving some health systems in dire need. While some medical centers have stockpiles in place, others may need to ration their IV fluid supply and delay surgeries. The American Thoracic Society is providing tips to help hospitals mitigate supply chain impacts.

Newswise: Making Difficult Quantum Many-Body Calculations Possible
Release date: 11-Oct-2024 3:05 PM EDT
Making Difficult Quantum Many-Body Calculations Possible
Department of Energy, Office of Science

One of the methods scientists use to study quantum many-body systems is the ab initio approach, but some ab initio methods run into severe computational problems when using realistic interactions. This study introduces wavefunction matching and uses it to perform lattice simulations with realistic interactions. This allows scientists to make calculations that were once impossible.

MSU expert: How the 2024 election could impact your grocery bill
Michigan State University

The economy is always a hot topic in presidential elections and, this year, food prices have taken center stage.

MSU expert: Can schools stop students from praying?
Michigan State University

chool prayer has been an issue facing school districts for decades. Cases have arisen in the lower courts in which public school educators or students have wanted to pray in various contexts and, as a result, the courts created a reasonably helpful — albeit far from perfect — set of tests and factors to be considered to determine when praying at school is appropriate. Frank S. Ravitch is professor of law and the Walter H. Stowers Chair of Law and Religion at Michigan State University’s College of Law, answers questions on the balance of school prayer and what the First Amendment protects.

Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: A Modern Approach to Breast Cancer Surgery
Rutgers Cancer Institute

Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy (NSM) is a surgical option for patients requiring a mastectomy, in which the breast tissue is removed while the skin, nipple, and areola remain intact. This procedure allows for immediate reconstruction and offers a more natural post-surgery result, giving patients both peace of mind and a sense of body confidence. M. Michele Blackwood, MD, FACS, director of Breast Surgery and director of Women’s Oncologic Health, RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute shares more on this surgical technique.
