The class usually starts out optimistic and hopeful with how the rest of the semester will play out. Not unlike when I applied to Malcolm X College years ago, we try to forewarn the amount of time it takes to truly understand the material in this class.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic prosthetic ankle that can provide stability for lower limb amputees. The ankle uses electromyographic sensors placed on the sites of muscles in the residual limb that then convey the intentions of the wearer with regard to movement.

Why do we use ACE inhibitors to treat scleroderma renal crisis? In a day of seeing adult patients in any type of clinic, it’d be hard to not hear the words “ACE inhibitor” at least once.
