I've been working on creating a database recently that includes all of the control rats the lab has done in the past so that they can be referenced for current and future studies. It was fairly interesting going through the data because, through the numbers and various parameters, you could really see how dramatically heart function was reduced due to a heart attack. I finished the database last week and was able to present my work at the weekly lab meeting.
Today, I started working with another set of data. This set took the form of pictures rather than just numbers, though. When the hearts are analyzed for infarct size (which is measured by analyzing the size of the scar on the heart), they are cut into three sections. I was organizing the pictures of these treated hearts into folders based on the severity of their heart attack. So I got to look at pictures of healthy and injured hearts. The difference is scarily drastic!
