Timely management and closure of burn wounds are critical for proper emergency care and the assurance of positive outcomes for the warfighter. Current technologies rely on reagents that cannot respond effectively to the different classes of pathogens that

In this Phase I program, Fabrico Technology, Professor Leonid Bunegin of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSC-SA), and Dr. Rocco Armonda, Director, Neuroendovascular Surgery and Neurotrauma, MedStar-Georgetown University Hos

Techulon has developed a platform based on peptide-peptide nucleic acids (PPNAs) molecules that are effective as antimicrobial compounds against multi-drug reisistant pathogens. Techulons targeted approach uses informatic algorithms applied towards an organisms genome to identify targets that will disrupt essential biological functions. The proposed Phase I project will focus on developing a new g ...

Integrated Clinical Environments (ICE) rely heavily on medical devices that need to be protected from security threats without compromising patient health and safety. There is a need to assess clinical workflow configurations in terms of security, usability, and efficiency. Currently, each medical device has its own security controls. Access to multiple devices in the integrated environment requir ...

TDAs proposes to develop a novel RF heating process for rewarming cryogenically preserved tissues and organs. TDAs approach is to optimize the RF frequency and power, along with the chemical composition, size and morphology of infused nanoparticles so that they heat tissue samples rapidly and uniformly. In this manner, the cryoprotectant solutions pass from the vitrified state to the liquid stat ...

KBSI proposes to design and develop a Data Integration and Predictive Analysis System (IPAS) for the prediction of incidents of human infectious diseases. IPAS will utilize innovative collection of data from open data sources, veterinary and medical professionals, and public observations, together with data cleaning, harmonization, spatio-temporal pattern extraction, factor analysis, and predicti ...

The use of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) can be difficult for patients and visitors to use due to the size and complexity of the facility. The current a kiosk concierge system cannot offer turn-by-turn facility navigation. This proposal seeks to design a combined indoor/outdoor navigation service to aid using and locating services and people in the WRNMMC facility. ...

About 40% of trauma-related deaths are related to rapid onset of coagulopathy and the vast majority of trauma patients are coagulopathic at the time of death. Lynntech proposes to develop a novel, easy-to-use and cost effective device for simultaneous quantitative real-time detection of multiple proteins involved in the hemostatic mechanism, using human unprocessed whole blood as the input sample. ...

Bioassays employed to evaluate the diverse range of biomarkers associated with organ injury are time-consuming, costly and require multiple instruments/testing formats to reach a diagnosis (i.e. fluorescence-based capture, ELISAs, PCR, etc.). Individually, these platforms are incapable of predicting the onset of irreversible organ tissue injury (e.g. kidney, liver, heart and lung). If a single mul ...

The objective of this project is to develop, produce, and commercialize a liquid-tight, field-applicable, ocular patch for wound stabilization and treatment of the eye following a war-related injury to the ocular surface. The patch consists of a curved flexible silicone membrane (similar in size and shape to a contact lens) which has had (1) a novel bio-adhesive
