Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration.Many medications and materials are or will be available in concentrated or dehydrated formularies that require sterile water for injection (SWFI) to rehydrate for immediate use, such as Lactated ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

There is an urgent need to bypass or cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) to deliver drugs for TBI treatment. This project aims to develop targted intranasally delivered, magnetically propulsed, and targted nanoparticles for traumatic brain injury (TBI). In Phase I, we will demonstrate the design, fabrication, and in vitro characterization of proposed drug laden magnetic nanoparticles as well as co ...

We have identified NSI-566, a stable neural stem cell line, isolated and expanded from a single human fetal spinal cord tissue, as the investigational product for TBI treatment.NSI-566 has been approved by the US FDA as an investigational product for clinical testing in ALS (IND# 13905) and chronic SCI (IND# 14413) which are ongoing.For TBI treatment, we propose to place deposits of NSI-566 into t ...

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance.Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen partial pressure, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, and others have beencorrelated with cognition and stress states. However, the correlation is indirect. Molecular biomarkers with stronger and more speci ...

The consequence of physical and mental degraded performance is of critical importance not only to the Department of Defense (DoD) missions and sports persons, but also to the general population as well. Sweat is an information abundant medium that contains biomarkers that show relation to human cognitive levels. However, obtaining days of continuous sampling of sweat from the same dermal spot has ...

For this SBIR Intelligent Automation Inc. (IAI), teamed with researchers from Department of Dermatology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, propose to develop a smartphone based dermatology diagnosis system, MDerm that can be operated by warriors

Servicemembers exposed to blasts have frequent complaints of vertigo, gaze instability, balance problems, motion intolerance, and other symptoms consistent with peripheral vestibular pathology. Current vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based approa

Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can
