    Abstract: A dendrite resistant battery may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and an electrolyte interposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The dendrite resistant battery may further include at least one acoustic wave device configured to generate a plurality of acoustic waves during a charging of the battery. The charging of the battery may trigger cations from the first electrode to travel through the electrolyte and deposit on the second electrode. The plurality of acoustic waves may agitate the electrolyte to at least homogenize a distribution of cations in the electrolyte. The homogenization of the distribution of cations may prevent a formation of dendrites on the second electrode by at least increasing a uniformity of the deposit of cations on the second electrode. Related methods and systems for battery management are also provided.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices placed onto an endotracheal tube to create a bend in the tube at a predetermined position. In one aspect, an endotracheal tube bending apparatus comprises a backbone portion creating an angle between a proximate end of the apparatus and a distal end of the apparatus, and a plurality of curved extensions structured to capture a tubing against the backbone portion. In another aspect an endotracheal tube bending apparatus comprises a first prong attached to a base at a first proximate end and having a nub at a first distal end. A second prong and a third prong are each attached to the base at a second and third proximate ends and connected together via a bridge structure at a second and third distal ends. A pocket in the bridge is configured to capture the nub to hold the endotracheal tube in a bent position.

    Abstract: Compounds for binding carbon monoxide are provided (e.g., to sequest carbon monoxide in a composition). Compounds according to certain embodiments include water soluble metal porphyrin complexes having substituents that provide for water solubility at physiological pH and form a hydrophobic carbon monoxide (CO)-binding pocket. In certain embodiments. metal porphyrin complexes exhibit limited cellular uptake. In some instances, the compounds described herein are capable of rescuing CO-poisoned red blood cells. Methods for treating a subject exposed to carbon monoxide (e.g., experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning) are also provided. Compositions for practicing the subject methods are also described.
