Effects of Vasopressin and Norepinephrine on Wound Healing of Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelium
Kenneth J Bogenberger, MD, Dao H Ho, PhD. Tripler Army Medical CenterObjectives: Hemorrhagic shock as a result of trauma or surgical bleeding is frequently temporized with administration of vasopressors in order to augment systemic vascular resistance while resuscitation measures are employed. This mimics the treatment strategy of other forms of shock where systemic vascular resistance… Continue Reading

Less is More: Comparison of Partial v. Full REBOA in a Porcine Hemorrhagic Shock Model
Dominic M Forte, Woo S Do, MD, Jessica B Weiss, MD, Rowan R Sheldon, MD, Matthew J Eckert, MD, Matthew J Martin. Madigan Army Medical CenterObjectives: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is effective as a temporizing measure in non-compressible truncal hemorrhage (NCTH). However, use for longer than 60min causes lethal reperfusion injury. Partial… Continue Reading
Linear Tensile Force Testing in Porcine Model validates use of Novel Mesh Suture
Christopher J Scheiber, MD, Dearth Christopher, PhD, Alfred Pisano, Liacouras Peter, PhD, Jason Souza, MD. WRNMMCINTRODUCTION: Despite recent studies1,2 investigating different closure techniques following laparotomy, the incidence of incisional hernia remains high. A common cause of failure is suture pull-through, leading to early dehiscence. In order to decrease this risk, the authors have previously proposed… Continue Reading
