In a remarkable advancement in cardiac care, Chirantan Mangukia, MD, of Loyola Medicine has successfully performed an innovative, minimally invasive triple vessel coronary artery bypass surgery. This procedure was performed for a patient with severe coronary artery disease whose father had endured a difficult recovery from an open procedure years earlier. Nationally, less than one percent of coronary bypass operations are done through a minimally invasive approach Loyola University Medical Center offers innovative cardiac care, distinguishing itself as one of few Chicagoland area hospitals offering this advanced surgical option.
Distinct immune “signatures” in patients who develop adverse events while taking immunotherapy for cancer may help oncologists identify patients at risk and treat them early to prevent serious side effects, suggests a study by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy.
Scientists are developing new technologies that can transform CO2 into sustainable aviation fuels, but the technologies use a lot of water. Argonne’s new tool can assess and help minimize the impact of these technologies on local freshwater resources.
The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation has made one of the largest gifts in the history of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to establish the Chuck Lorre Pediatric Health Education Institute. A first of its kind in the nation, it will serve as a model for training health professionals including doctors, nurses, clinical care providers, researchers, and students.

The U.S. is ramping up plans for a major increase in offshore wind production, but the country needs to design turbines that can withstand the challenges of tropical storms. In the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, researchers examine tropical storm observation technology and review physics-based modeling and data-driven models that use AI and machine learning. Advanced modeling techniques are rapidly developing, such as deep neural networks that downscale existing regional data to point-scale data using super-resolution techniques. Another key advancement is using machine learning methods for dynamic warm potential predictions, which can better predict the intensity of a storm.
