Ralph and Claire Brindis: A partnership of interests and opportunity An MIT graduate and his wife have established a fund that will support HST graduate students and research at IMES as a way to show their devotion to improving human health through evidence-based medicine and public policy. Engineers design bionic “heart” for testing prosthetic valves, other cardiac devices MIT engineers have developed a bionic “heart” that offers a more realistic model for testing out artificial valves and other cardiac devices — it is a real biological heart whose tough muscle tissue has been replaced with a soft robotic matrix of artificial heart muscles, resembling bubble wrap. Technique reveals whether models of patient risk are accurate Computer scientists have developed a new method that allows them to determine whether a particular model’s results can be trusted for a given patient, which could help guide doctors to choose better treatments for those patients. New treatment could ease the passage of kidney stones Researchers, including an HST MEMP alumnus, have shown that muscle relaxants delivered to the ureter can reduce contractions that cause pain when passing a stone.
