HTS Open Abdomen Study

SUMMARY: 16 MAR 2018Delays in PFC contribute to increased fluid losses and nutritional demands, abdominal wall hernias, enterocutaneous fistula, and intra-abdominal infections.Hypothesis: The use of HTS after DCL may decrease the time to PFC and reduce the number of complicationsThis study will examine ten (10) flights of approximately 50 adult USAF basic military trainees (BMTs) each, 5 female and 5 male flights.

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.
