...Metabolic Function in the Mouse Background: Breathing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been reported to induce a suspended animation-like state with hypothermia and a concomitant metabolic reduction in rodents. However, the impact of H2S breathing on cardiovascular function remains incompletely understood. In this study, the authors investigated...

Under Development: Patch for Monitoring Transplant Organ Health

2008-03-27 08:23:36 by Michael in Medgadget
 
...metabolic reactions can be used to judge the overall metabolic rate or health of the organ We would know the baseline of these readings and then [compare] in real time to see if the organ is in a viable state or not," says Gadre. Each micro-burner can only penetrate the organs outer layer once. But a patch with a large number of these...
