Preliminary Investigation Into the Effectiveness of Group webSTAIR for Trauma-exposed Veterans in Primary Care
CONCLUSIONS: Good outcomes and a satisfactory retention rate suggest that group webSTAIR may provide easily accessible, high-quality, and effective treatment for patients presenting with trauma-related problems without increasing therapist or system burdens. The results suggest the value of conducting a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of group webSTAIR relative to PCMHI usual care or other evidence-based, disorder-specific (e.g., PTSD) treatments for trauma-exposed individuals in PCMHI.PMID:38442368 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae052 (Source: Military Medicine)

Hyperventilation During Manual Ventilation Can Be Reduced Using a Novel Ventilator but Not With Education Interventions
CONCLUSIONS: The use of a novel ventilator that limits RR and VT may be useful in preventing hyperventilation in TBI patients. Didactic education and simulator-based feedback training may not have significant impact on improving ventilation practices in prehospital providers.PMID:38430525 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae030 (Source: Military Medicine)

Cryotherapy-Induced Iatrogenic Frostbite on Distal Digit: Case Report and Review of Management Strategies
Mil Med. 2024 Mar 1:usae051. doi: 10.1093/milmed/usae051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCryotherapy is a widely utilized topical treatment for various dermatological conditions. While generally safe and effective, it carries potential risks, such as frostbite injury. Frostbite, a vascular condition causing skin and tissue freezing, is usually associated with prolonged exposure to freezing environments. Certain populations, like military personnel navigating frigid terrains, face an increased risk of frostbite and other cold-weather injuries. In this case, we present an unusual instance of iatrogenic frostbite in a 23-year-...
