20090011394 | LIMB HEMORRHAGE TRAUMA SIMULATOR - A limb hemorrhage trauma simulator provides didactic and hands-on training for the prehospital treatment of a limb trauma victim. The simulator realistically simulates a wounded limb, providing simulated pulse and hemorrhage blood flow. The simulator provides a simulated scenario in which the wound occurred. The student then responds to the scenario by treating the limb via direct pressure, tourniquet, and/or wound analysis. The simulator modifies hemorrhage blood flow and pulse in response to direct or tourniquet pressure applied to the limb. The simulator records the student's actions to provide feedback and grade the student's response. | 01-08-2009 |
20120045742 | HEMORRHAGE CONTROL SIMULATOR - A simulator trains for hemorrhage control using hemostatic agents, tourniquets, and/or other hemorrhage control techniques in a simulator that works with a wide variety of existing human surrogates. The simulator merges a live video feed of the surrogate and trainee's hands (or objects interacting with the surrogate) with a computer-generated visual representation of the wound and hemorrhaging blood to provide an immersive display experience to the trainee without requiring different surrogates for different simulated wounds. The trainee may wear pulse-generating glove(s) that simulate the patient's pulse where the trainee's finger tip contacts the surrogate. A sensorized substrate (e.g., load sensors, haptic output generators) may automatically be moved between the trainee and the surrogate to sense interaction with the surrogate and provide haptic feedback. The substrate may replace the surrogate altogether. The simulator may alternatively simulate events and objects other than wounds and humans. | 02-23-2012 |
20140222458 | METHOD AND APPRATUS FOR COLLECTING AND ANALYZING SURFACE WOUND DATA - A computer-implemented method of analyzing damage to personal protective equipment (PPE) uses a processor connected to a memory device.

The method includes aggregating and analyzing the location informations from a plurality of the plurality of location informations. At least two of said plurality of the plurality of location informations relate to respective damages sustained by different respective personal protective equipment. The analysis may include displaying the damage from a plurality of the location informations as a function of location on a personal protective equipment model. The analysis may involve filtering the information to isolate criteria of interest. The analysis may be used to improve PPE design and/or tactical training. | 08-07-2014 |

20100028355 | HIMF AND BTK IN PULMONARY, CARDIAC AND INFLAMMATION DISORDERS - Hypoxia induced mitogenic factor (HIMF) is a member of the “found in inflammatory zone” (FIZZ)/resistin family of proteins and has potent mitogenic, angiogenic, and vasoconstrictive effects in the lung vasculature. The receptor/binding partners for this family of proteins have been largely unknown. We identified Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) as a functional HIMF binding partner through GST-HIMF pull-downs and mass spectrometry. Using primary cultured HIMF-stimulated murine bone marrow cells, we demonstrated that BTK was recruited to the leading edge of the cells. We also demonstrated that BTK and the closely related tyrosine kinase Fyn, colocalized at the growth cone process in these cells. HIMF stimulation induced BTK autophosphorylation, which peaked at 2.5 minutes. A transwell migration assay showed that treatment with recombinant murine HIMF induced migration of primary cultured bone marrow cells, which was completely blocked by the BTK inhibitor, LFM-A13. In vivo studies, using the rat hindlimb ischemia model, revealed that HIMF can stimulate angiogenesis in the hypoxic tissue probably through inducing the migration of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) to areas of active angiogenesis. Our results indicate that HIMF may acts as a chemotactic molecule in stimulating the migration of leukocytes/EPCs from bone marrow to targeted tissues through activation of the BTK pathway. | 02-04-2010 |
