Cell cultures, organs-on-chip and microphysiological systems become increasingly relevant as models, , in drug development, disease modelling, toxicology or cancer research. It has been underlined repeatedly that culture conditions and metabolic cues have a strong or even essential influence on the reproducibility and validity of such experiments but are often not appropriately measured or controlled. Here we review microsensor systems for cell metabolism for the continuous measurement of culture conditions in microfluidic and lab-on-chip platforms.

There have been few recent innovations since the introduction of cardioplegia more than 50 years ago. Surprisingly, cardioplegia as one of the most essential steps in terms of heart muscle protection during a surgical procedure requiring cardiac arrest has never been really standardized. As a consequence, a considerable variety of cardioplegic solutions and applications have developed: cold versus warm, crystalloid versus blood cardioplegia, antegrade versus retrograde or both, as well as different time schedules for repeated administration.

In this article, we comment on the article by Ono . We focus specifically on the carbon ion radiotherapy studies and the method to calculate the dosing schedule. While photon hypofractionated radiotherapy in prostate cancer has demonstrated improvement in tumor control with reduced gastrointestinal toxicity compared to conventional radiotherapy, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) offers additional physical and biological advantages.

Study Design: Submental intubation is and underutilized alternative to traditional techniques of intubation. Complications associated can indeed deter surgeons and anesthesiologist from performing it. Surgeons may opt for submental intubation if they believe that its advantages outweigh the potential risks of the procedure.
