A Portable and Dual‐Button Microneedle Device Enables Intelligent Multimodal Laser Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A portable and dual‐button microneedle device enables rapid interstitial fluid sampling. Coupled with multimodal laser sensing and AI‐assisted data processing, the platform enables simultaneous molecular and elemental analysis for minimally invasive and multiplexed health assessment toward point‐of‐care diagnostics.

Drug Critical Limits for Urgent Physician Notification

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Critical limits represent quantitative decision thresholds for drugs that require immediate clinician notification and potential life‐saving intervention. United States hospitals lack a national standard for drug critical limits. We collected critical limits from 417 US hospitals across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.; of these, 411 maintained drug ...
