Evaluation of the Platelet Derived Hemostatic Agent (PDHA) Stasix® for Dose-Response Efficacy in a Rabbit Model of Thrombocytopenia

Acute coagulopathy is a major complication affecting both soldiers and civilians sustaining traumatic injuries. Human Platelet Derived Hemostatic Agents (PDHAs) have been developed in an attempt to improve hemostatic capabilities for patients experiencing coagulopathies related to platelet deficit or dysfunction. These products are expected to be particularly vital to soldiers injured on the front lines, where medical facilities are not readily available. One PDHA currently being considered for use by the U.S.

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.
