Scientists at Shanghai Tongji University in China have created a face mask that can alert the wearer to the presence of respiratory viruses in the surrounding environment, including the viruses behind COVID-19 and influenza. The mask includes aptamers, which are short sequences of DNA or RNA that can bind to protein targets. When viral particles bind to the aptamers, ion-gated transistors boost the signal so that the mask can sensitively detect small amounts of virus.

Answers Question 1: PH = 7.42, that is within normal range, more to the alkalotic side. HCO3 = 36.8 mmol/L that is consistent with metabolic alkalosis. Next we will calculate the compensation.

Background: Medical equipment that gives clinicians vital signs or other objective information must be reliable across populations as this data drives medical decisions. Many of these tools were not developed or validated in a racially diverse group of patients. We have already covered issues with pulse oximetry potentially missing hypoxemia in Black patients on REBEL EM ( Link is HERE ).

A 40-something woman with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease who frequently needs the ED for chronic pain called 911 for sudden severe chest pain. The patient was very agitated and could not hold still. I greeted medics at the door to view the prehospital ECG. Here it is: It is not normal, but there is no specific evidence of Occlusion MI (OMI) There are some Q-waves in inferior and lateral leads (of uncertain age) and there is some "terminal QRS distortion" in inferior leads and V4-V6, bu

At the University of Washington a research team has developed a smartphone system that can measure blood oxygen levels. The technology uses the camera and flash of the phone to take the measurement, and the system is so easy to use that it may be well suited for at-home use. A person presses their finger over the camera, which gets illuminated by the flash, and the camera measures how much light from the flash the finger absorbs, which a deep-learning algorithm can then correlate with blood oxyg

A study published in The Journal of Emergency Medicine titled “Complete Neurologic Recovery After Emergency Burr Hole Placement Utilizing EZ-IO® for Epidural Hematoma” sheds light on an innovative approach to treat post-traumatic epidural hematoma (EDH) in emergency settings.

Background: There are only two interventions that have been proven in the medical literature to improved outcomes in cardiac arrest: high-quality CPR and early defibrillation. Over the years, we as a scientific community have worked extensively to find other interventions that improve outcomes. Some look promising (ie eCPR and application of US) while others have been considerably less effective or inconsistent (ie epinephrine and targeted temperature management).

Researchers at the City University of Hong Kong have developed a magnetic soft millirobot that can grab and release objects, and move around by rolling. The device can be controlled using magnetic fields, and consists of a biodegradable gelatin and iron oxide microparticles. The technology has significant potential as a minimally invasive drug delivery system, perhaps in the gastrointestinal tract, and may even lead to soft robots that can carry out surgical procedures within the body.

Exercise teaches us that to become stronger (read: more capable), you must grow through a process of exposure to controlled stress, recovery, then adaptation, so that you can handle the same stress loads with less conscious, intentional effort. This is a useful metaphor for handing other kinds of stress in our lives. Therefore, to overcome, you must develop your stress-capacity beyond whatever it is that is creating your fear, anxiety, or pain.
