Assessing Evidence Bias for Prehospital Tourniquet Use: A Scoping Review
The available evidence for the prehospital use of tourniquets is largely based on the military experience of high‐resource countries over the last 30 years. Though the lifesaving benefits of an appropriately applied tourniquet to stop catastrophic bleeding are undeniable, the potential consequences of tourniquet application differ greatly within ...

Wound Healing Modeling Using Partial Differential Equation and Deep Learning [PDF]
The process of wound healing has been an active area of research around the world. The problem is the wounds of different patients heal differently. For example, patients with a background of diabetes may have difficulties in healing [1]. By clearly understanding this process, we can determine the type and quantity of medicine to give to patients with ...

Development of a synthetic bone and tissue model to simulate overmatch military ballistic head injury [PDF]
A synthetic bone and tissue head model was built using sequential experiments and tested against impacts with 7.62 x 39 mm MSC ammunition. The key experiment in this series was a forensic reconstruction of two military head injury gunshot wounds.

Cerebrovascular injury caused by a high strain rate insult in the thorax [PDF]
Primary blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) has increased in documented incidence and public prominence in recent conflicts. Evidence for a thoracic mechanism of blast-induced TBI was recently reviewed and, while the totality is compelling, data from experiments isolating this mechanism is sparse.
