WBCs causing blood gas measurement to falsely show depict hypoxemia is very rare. Temperature correction of blood gases is recommended. Consider fetal hemoglobin before attributing the discordance to in-vitro oxygen consumption by leukocytes.

The heartbeat looks like a metronome. Up close, not so much. New preprint led by @mfco5m: in the intact SA node, pacemaker coherence peaks at an intermediate level of endogenous noise (stochastic resonance), tuned by local energy supply. doi.org/10.64898/2026.09.18.…

#PMB researchers explore drug interactions on hERG channels in this paper from @JGenPhysiol
Docken, Marquis, Furutani, Lewis, Sack @sackyarov et al. @ucd_physiology test the hypothesis that the antiarrhythmic drug nifekalant opens hERG gates while blocking, revealing a mechanism that may reduce #arrhythmia risk. hubs.la/Q04vz6ZM0
