The article reviews the educational game "Cytosis: A Cell Biology Game" by Genius Games, which allows players to engage in essential cellular processes to earn Health Points. The game focuses on organelles such as the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondrion, providing a fun and interactive way to learn about cell biology. It is suitable for students in various grade levels, from middle school to AP Biology, and offers a hands-on approach to understanding cellular structure and function. The game encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and strategic decision-making while making learning enjoyable and engaging for students. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on a STEM learning platform called BioBrain, which provides bite-sized information for students in biology, chemistry, and physics. It mentions the platform offers interactive ways for students to review important concepts, includes assessments, and allows differentiation of content levels. It's noted that while BioBrain aligns with the International Baccalaureate biology course and has elements that align with NGSS.

Interposed abdominal counterpulsation (IAC) performed in conjunction with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on patients who have suffered cardiac arrest may increase survival. In IAC-CPR, one person compresses the chest while another compresses the abdomen. The abdominal compressions are alternated with the chest compressions but are performed at the same rate. Of 103 patients experiencing cardiac arrest at a level II trauma center, 48 received IAC-CPR and 55 received standard CPR. Fifty-one percent of the IAC-CPR patients experienced a return of spontaneous circulation compared to 27% of the CPR patients. Twenty-five percent of the IAC-CPR patients survived to hospital discharge compared to 7% of the CPR patients. IAC-CPR caused no complications in surviving patients. IAC-CPR is an easily administered technique that may increase survival in patients with cardiac arrest.
