Adhatoda zeylanica (Medic.) family-Acanthaceae is distributed all over the plains of India and lower Himalaya ranges, ascending to height of 1500 m. The present study is an attempt to explore the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic and aqueous extract of leaves of the Adhatoda zeylanica. Dose of 100 mg/ml and 200 mg/ml of ethanolic and aqueous extract were evaluated for their anti-inflammat...

We present the Medic robot: a novel 5-gram autonomous crawling and climbing millirobot designed to navigate through dark, cluttered, confined and electrified environments. Due to payload constraints, all sensing is performed by a single lowresolution camera and processing is split between an onboard unit and a base station. We present an integrated object detector, localizer, and planner that h...

Present and future Special Forces missions will require prolonged care of the trauma patient. The Special Forces Medic and Independent Duty Corpsman must be prepared to deal with these situations in the most challenging and austere environments. The implementation of damage control resuscitation for prolonged trauma care can maximize results with minimal support while preventing death, priming ...

Angioedema (AE) is a problem that all doctors inclusive of emergency room physicians and the otolaryngologists are often asked to treat. We present a six-year experience with this disorder. In this series, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) were related to 60% of admissions for angioedema. Lip and tongue swelling was the most common manifestation. The discontinuation of ACEI thera...

The MediSim system extends virtual environment technology to allow medical personnel to interact with and train on simulated casualties. The casualty model employs a three-dimensional animated human body that displays appropriate physical and behavioral responses to injury and/or treatment. Medical corpsmen behaviors were developed to allow the actions of simulated medical personnel to conform ...

Combat casualty and en-route care could be improved through immediate expert medical assessment and treatment. New approaches in the delivery of medical care have the potential to decouple the need for deployment of highly trained medical professionals with each advanced unit and the ability to provide sophisticated medical and surgical expertise on demand. The U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanc...

We commend the American Society of Anesthesiologists for using solid and transparent methods to develop a “top-five” list of low-value activities that should be avoided. We publ i shed this list1 in an ongoing effort to support the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation’s “Choosing Wisely” campaign aimed at engaging specialty medical societies to identify low-value health care activitie...
