3-D Printing Models of Human Organs

Image
It was summer 2016 when Narutoshi Hibino began collaborating with graduate student Sarah Chen on a peculiar puzzle: Could they produce a three-dimensional model of a baby’s heart? A cardiac surgeon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and assistant professor of surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Hibino’s surgical experience is in treating adult and pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases. One such disease is hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a birth defect that affects normal blood flow and usually requires repairing the blood vessels coming out of the heart. Congenital diseases are tricky in that no two hearts are alike; the heart and vessels of each patient are unique. Hibino wanted a pediatric heart model created to mimic a patient’s exact anatomy. In early 2017, Hibino teamed up with Juan Garcia , director of the hospital’s new 3-D print facility. Their collaboration combined surgical expertise, medical illustration, and cutting edge engine...

Love is the thing that binds us all together. It’s the thing that gets us up in the morning, the thing that we look for all our lives, and the thing that we can’t live without. When you’re truly and deeply in love with someone, it’s impossible to imagine the rest of your life without being by that person’s side, sharing your experiences and happiness with each other. 1. You Can Be Yourself Around Him We’ve all been in relationships with guys who we’re not totally comfortable around. Guys who we feel like we have to “perform” or be “on” in front of in order to make the relationship work. Your future husband won’t care whether you’re “on” or not on any given day. He’ll love you for who you are – when you’re just being yourself and not putting on any kind of show – and he won’t ever want to let that person go. 2. After Terrible Days You Just Want To Be With Him Even if you’re in the worst mood in the world, being with him is better than being alone. He’s there to listen to yo...

Catalan Independence: See How Barcelona and La Liga Would Be Affected by Spain Split

Image
Sports pundits take a look at the potential implications of a political landscape shift in Spain and how it would affect one of the country's best teams. Spain is in the midst of a tense political stand-off that could potentially alter the complexion of the country as the government of Catalunya defiantly prepares itself for a vote on independence. The Spanish state has warned that the prospective vote contravenes the constitution and that it is actually illegal, but that has not diminished the appetites of those within the region who are seeking change. In recent years, in particular, Barcelona fans have not been shy about showing where their allegiance lies, frequently flying Catalan flags at games and many figures within the club - including players past and present - are firmly in the pro-independence camp.
