Measuring brain electrical impedance (rheoencephalography-REG) is a potential technique for noninvasive, continuous neuro-monitoring. Typically, intracranial pressure (ICP), an invasive monitoring modality, is used in brain monitoring. Our hypothesis was that both modalities would reflect cerebrovascular reactivity.

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
March 2015
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
Objective: To assess pediatric habitual snoring (PS) using home sleep test (HST) technology and attempt to correlate the objective components of PS to specific upper airway anatomy. In addition, the effects of adenotonsillectomy (±turbinoplasty) on objective measures of PS were evaluated.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, Silver Spring, MD, USA Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, MD, USA Center for Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine, Bethesda, MD, USA Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD, USA.
Background: Evidence-based approaches to cognitive rehabilitation are limited; however, new technologies such as brain-training computer programs provide opportunities for novel interventions.
Objective: This paper describes a randomized controlled training study in a military treatment facility with service members who had combat-related cognitive symptoms. It examines challenges in study design and implementation, and provides "lessons learned" with proposed solutions.
Colistin pharmacokinetics in burn patients during continuous venovenous hemofiltration.
Antimicrob Agents Chemother

While colistin is considered a last resort for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections, there has been an increase in its use due to the increasing prevalence of drug-resistant infections worldwide. The pharmacology of colistin is complex, and pharmacokinetic data are limited, especially in patients requiring renal replacement therapy. As a result, dosing for patients who require renal replacement remains a challenge.

A number of ergonomic, workplace and individual psychosocial factors and health behaviors have been associated with the onset, exacerbation and/or maintenance of low back pain (LBP). The functional impact of these factors may be influenced by how a worker approaches problems in general. The present study was conducted to determine whether problem-solving orientation was associated with physical and mental health outcomes in fully employed workers (soldiers) reporting a history of LBP in the past year.
