From battlefield to community: Simulation-based education for walking blood bank whole blood transfusion. [PDF]

Transfusion
Abstract Background Field transfusion of whole blood is vital for patients in hemorrhagic shock, particularly in austere or resource‐limited environments. Military use of warm fresh whole blood (WFWB) has inspired civilian interest in walking blood banks (WBBs) for rural, prehospital, and mass casualty settings where blood product access is limited ...

Effect of continuous local dexamethasone on tissue biomechanics and histology after inhalational burn in a preclinical model

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 939-945, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective Inhalational burns frequently lead to dysphonia and airway stenosis. We hypothesize local dexamethasone delivery via a novel drug‐eluting electrospun polymer‐mesh endotracheal tube (ETT) reduces biomechanical and histologic changes in the vocal folds in inhalational burn. Methods Dexamethasone‐loaded polymer mesh was electrospun onto

Pyrophosphate as a novel anticoagulant for storage of whole blood: A proof‐of‐concept study

Transfusion, Volume 63, Issue 7, Page 1392-1398, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Citrate is the only anticoagulant currently Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved for the long‐term storage of blood for transfusion. Citrate inhibits phosphofructokinase and may play a pro‐inflammatory role, suggesting that there may be an advantage to using alternative anticoagulants.

An Explainable Machine-Learning Model for Compensatory Reserve Measurement: Methods for Feature Selection and the Effects of Subject Variability

Bioengineering, 2023
Tracking vital signs accurately is critical for triaging a patient and ensuring timely therapeutic intervention. The patient’s status is often clouded by compensatory mechanisms that can mask injury severity. The compensatory reserve measurement (CRM) is

Cricopharyngeus Muscle Dysfunction and Hypopharyngeal Diverticula (e.g., Zenker): A Multicenter Study

The Laryngoscope, Volume 133, Issue 6, Page 1349-1355, June 2023., 2023
This serves as the seminal work from the prospective, multicenter cohort study of all individuals enrolled in the Prospective OUtcomes of Cricopharyngeal Hypertonicity Surgery (POUCHS) Collaborative. Of the 250 persons enrolled, 85% had a Zenker diverticula (ZD), 9% had evidence of cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction (CPMD) without diverticula and 4 ...
