Injectable Foam Blocks Internal Bleeding on the Battlefield
Despite their best efforts to stabilize abdominal wounds sustained on the battlefield, military first-responders have few options when it comes to stanching internal bleeding caused by, for example, gunshots or explosive fragments. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) says it is studying a new type of injectable foam that molds to organs and slows hemorrhaging. This could provide field medics with a way to buy more time for soldiers en route to medical treatment facilities. [More]

Oropharyngeal flora in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit: clinical factors and acid suppressive therapy.
Abstract
Acid suppression therapy in critically ill patients significantly reduces the incidence of stress ulceration and GI bleeding; however, recent studies suggest that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) increase the risk for pneumonia. We wanted to test the hypothesis that acid suppressive therapy promotes alteration in the bacterial flora in the GI tract and leads to colonization in the upper airway tract with pathogenic species, potentially forming the biologic basis for the observed increased incidence of pneumonia in these patients. This is a prospective observational study on patients (adults 18 years or older...

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of biphasic soft tissue and its medical applications
AbstractModeling the coupled fluid and elastic mechanics of blood perfused soft tissues is important for medical applications. In particular, the current study aims to capture the effect of tissue swelling and the transport of blood through damaged tissue under bleeding or hemorrhaging conditions. The soft tissue is considered a dynamic poro-hyperelastic material with blood-filled voids. A biphasic formulation —effectively, a generalization of Darcy’s law—is utilized, treating the phases as occupying fractions of the same volume. A Stokes-like friction force and a pressure that penalizes deviations from volume fracti...

Putting Humanity and the Humanities Back Into Medicine
"Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of Humanity." -- Hippocrates Medicine has always had a close relationship to the liberal arts. Many great thinkers have been physicians: Aristotle, Maimonides, Linnaeus, Darwin, Freud. And some great writers: Rabelais, Schiller, Keats, Chekhov, Conan Doyle. And there have been physicians who write with great eloquence about disease and medical practise: Hippocrates, Galen, Burton, Sydenham, Osler, Thomas. Healing has until recently been mostly art, usually unaided by scientifically proven treatments that could actually heal. In fact, most of the treatments delive...
