Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen (CDO) Treatment for Chronic Wounds

The purpose of this project is to describe healing outcomes in the VA for the treatment of chronic ulcers using Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen therapy (CDO). CDO is a form of moist wound therapy whereby pure oxygen is added within the moist wound therapy dressing using a portable system. The system used for this study will be the TransCu O2 System, which consists of a handheld oxygen generator, a cannula for delivering the oxygen to the wound and moist wound therapy dressings. In other words, CDO is moist wound therapy with added pure oxygen supplied continuously.

ERI: Toward Unfolding the Effect of Sex Variations in Biomechanics of Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and many other brain diseases/injuries exhibit sex differences in prevalence. onset. and outcomes. Some of these differences are attributed to the fact that the human brain is sexually dimorphic and there are certain regional and structural differences that exist between male and female brains. However. the effect of these sex variations in biomechanical responses of brain have not been elucidated. The paucity of sex-specific knowledge in brain biomechanics and TBI fields is mainly due to the fact that. these fields have predominantly focused on males.
