Human Lung Transported With Drone For The First Time In The World

A lung taken from a patient at Canada’s Toronto Western Hospital was transported to Toronto General Hospital by drone. After the 6-minute journey, the lung to be transferred to the patient for the first time in the world was transported with a drone. Head surgeon of the University Health Network (UHN), to which the hospital where the transplant was performed, Dr. Shaf Keshavjee stated that the transplant operation for 63-year-old Alain Hodak went well. Martine Rothblat, owner of Unither Bioelectronique company, which transports drones to the hospital, stated that they chose Toronto General Hospital because it is the first hospital in Canada where double and single lung transplants were performed.

0

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
