- Prosthetic Limbs That Match the Real ThingIt wasn't until 2000 that the Pentagon started investing in better prosthetics. In only a decade, military-funded research has transformed artificial limbs, which had remained largely unchanged since the 1940s, into devices that increasingly resemble real limbs.And soon, prosthetics might be nearly indistinguishable from the appendages they replace. Earlier this year, Darpa launched the latest phase of it's Revolutionizing Prosthetics Program: This time, the agency is after devices that fuse severed nerves with robotic limbs — yielding prosthetics that offer robust freedom of movement and can acutely distinguish between myriad sensations.Photo: U.S. ArmyType-O Blood, in Endless SupplyUntil troops can hibernate through their injuries, the military will rely on stockpiles of donated blood. But already, they're making quick strides toward replacing human donation with megadoses of lab-grown universal-donor units.Under Darpa's Blood Pharming program, biotech firm Arteriocyte has already shipped off its first batch of type-O red blood cells — derived from umbilical cord-blood units — to the FDA. And with critical blood shortages threatening hospitals nationwide, the project would have lifesaving civilian applications.Bone Cement ProjectSome of the most debilitating war injuries, from lost limbs to mangled muscle tissue to permanent burn scars, could soon benefit from cutting-edge regenerative procedures.Human clinical trials of the latest in extreme regenerative medicine — including bone-fusing cement and muscle-growing cell scaffolds — are being fast-tracked, thanks to an extra $12 million in funding from the Department of Defense.Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are working on some of the most promising Pentagon-backed medical research projects. Just last month, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen visited the university’s labs to see the science firsthand. And despite the looming threat of a shrinking Pentagon budget, he told them that “10 years doesn’t satisfy any of us,” where clinical trials were concerned.And that’s exactly what this funding infusion is going to address. Dr. B.J. Costello, the lead researcher behind the university’s bone cement project, told Danger Room that the Pentagon’s contract is meant “to catapult us forward.” Costello’s program was expected to be in human clinical trials in 5-7 years. With the new grant, it’ll be more like 12 months to 2 years.“We needed more help with the process of FDA approval and associated expenses, which a company would pay for if they were planning to produce and market this science,” he said. “Instead, the Department of Defense is picking up that slack.”Costello, whose program involves the creation of an injectable compound designed to repair cranio facial bone damage or spur normal bone growth, expects to start trials on 20 patients, most of them veterans, within a year. If those trials go well, they’ll expand to test more people or explore using the cement for different, more serious procedures.“Right now, we’re looking at mild to moderate injuries,” he said. “But eventually this could treat long bone injuries, or have civilian applications.”And those applications would be widespread. The bone cement could replace metal plates, repair bone damage from car accidents or assaults, and even regrow entire portions of a human skull.Costello’s hoping the grant will also help them move forward on manufacturing facilities, where the product can be mass produced in a sterile environment.The Pentagon grant will also hasten clinical trials for muscle tissue regeneration and a novel method of treating burn injuries. Costello is confident that all three procedures are ready for human use.“The Department of Defense did their homework, and these projects are the cream of the crop,” he said. “This isn’t pie-in-the-sky research. We’re ready to roll.”[Photo: Noah Shachtman]See Also:http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/11/military-medical-projects/?pid=112
- Shaping the Future of Military HealthcareDefinition of an "imperative": a philosophical concept that implies an obligation. For example, we have an obligation to deliver patient centered healthcare under a medical home construct or strategy via FHI as a key means. An imperative is and how we will support our priorities and shape our approach to our mission.Specifically, to assure success today and tomorrow, we are focused on the following theme:Patient-Centered Care: Patients want someone who cares with reliable and universally accessible information that allows active participation in their health care.Technology Integration: Our AFMS must continually monitor all (not just medical) technologies; understand how they will influence our AFMS mission, and rapidly integrate them.Synergy-Integration – Joint, Coalition, and Interagency: We must build partnerships and interoperability to advance cradle to grave health delivery. Precision Healthcare: We must minimize the cycle time from implementation of evidence-based medicine to common practice, and create incentives for prevention. Organizational Agility – Light, Lean, and Life Saving Capabilities: An organization that is able to respond, adapt, and influence changing environments quickly through agile processes as seen by changing approaches to acquisitions, facilities, technology; changing approaches to programming process, policy, and law. Process to adapt to changes, influence, changes, funding processes within the fiscal year, to respond between POM cycles.
- Additionally, Capt Solghan and his team successfully coordinated with the United Kingdom (UK) Aeromedical Evacuation Control Center (AECC) for the transport of a UK solider that suffered a blast injury that left him with only one functioning lung. Capitalizing on the capabilities of the USAF Lung Team stationed at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, and the technology of a Nova artificial lung, this UK service member was transported in the U.S. Aeromedical Evacuation System to Germany for critical treatment, and then finally to the Birmingham Military Hospital, UK, where he is now doing well. This success story demonstrated a multinational effort of over 1,000 aircrew, ground, and medical personnel.Army Maj.

Ben Bloker / S&SArmy Maj. (Dr.) Eric Osborn, the pulmonary critical team leader, recalls a recent mission to treat a British soldier wounded in Afghanistan as team member Air Force Maj. Shannon Womble, assistant head nurse of ICU, looks on Monday at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. LANDSTUHL, Germany — A team of doctors and nurses from Landstuhl Regional Medical Center used a revolutionary device during a recent medevac mission to save the life of a British soldier wounded in Afghanistan.The 19-year-old soldier, whose name was not released, lost his right lung and suffered a damaged liver when he was shot July 25 near Camp Bastion, a British base in Helmand province. Within hours of getting the call, the LRMC Lung Rescue Team was bound for Afghanistan.It took more than 200 pints of blood — and the use of a German-made device called the Novalung — to keep the soldier alive.The Novalung works like a temporary lung by filtering out carbon dioxide from a patient’s blood and oxygenating it. To use the device, a physician reroutes blood flow from a patient’s major vessels through the box by tapping the femoral artery and vein in the upper thighs. As blood flows from one leg into the box, it passes through a filter that leeches off the carbon dioxide and infuses the cells with oxygen, mimicking the trade-off that should take place in the lungs. The blood then goes back into the system through the other leg, refreshed.Last month’s flight was the first time the Novalung was used while transporting a patient.“Up until now, it’s never been used to move a patient,” said Air Force Dr. (Lt. Col.) Raymond Fang, LRMC’s trauma director.“He probably would have died [without the Novalung],” said Army Dr. (Maj.) Erik Osborn, the pulmonary critical team leader for the 38-hour mission.The Novalung is unlike other equipment or treatment used by the Lung Rescue Team because it has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Each time the team uses the device, it has to report it to the FDA.Novalung is in the process of getting FDA approval.“We are preparing for clinical trials to get it approved in the United States,” said Nicholas Strout, Novalung’s global vice president of sales and marketing. “It will confirm that this is safe and effective. The trials will probably start early next year and could take six to 12 months.”Strout said he was on his way to the U.S. on Wednesday to meet with a company that conducts clinical trials. Novalungs have been used more than 5,000 times safely, he said.Doctors at the university hospital in Regensberg developed the Novalung, and the wounded British soldier was flown there after arriving at Ramstein Air Base. He remained hospitalized there on Wednesday, where his condition was listed as seriously injured, LRMC spokeswoman Marie Shaw said.No plans have been made to move him to Landstuhl or to a British hospital, she said.Landstuhl officials said the British Ministry of Defence wouldn’t authorize them to release the soldier’s name and details of how he got shot. Situations such as the treatment of the British soldier are why the team was started in November 2005 by Dr. (Col.) Warren Dorlac, the hospital’s intensive care unit director at the time, and his wife, Dr. (Col.) Gina Dorlac, a former medical director for the critical care air transport team at Landstuhl, Fang said. It’s also the reason the team got the Novalung. No one else in the Department of Defense has it, Fang said. “This patient sounded like he needed the lung,” he said. “It’s a pretty remarkable device.”
