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.

Regulation of Renal Na+ Excretion by Antidiuretic Hormone

My goal is to direct an independent research program focused on understanding mechanisms of Na+ and water regulation in the kidney. The proposed studies address the mechanisms of renal Na+ regulation by antidiuretic hormone (ADH) during hyponatremia which is a common electrolyte abnormality with a potential for high morbidity and mortality. Because much about the fundamental mechanisms enabling differential control of Na+ and water excretion by the kidney remains obscure, current treatment of hyponatremia often is not fully effective.
