Training in wound ballistics: operation exercise at the Defence Medical Training Centre

The Journal of Trauma
P J Knudsen, E M Darre

Abstract

The Defence Medical Training Centre has for a number of years been conducting exercises to give Danish National Service (conscript) surgeons and dentists the opportunity to observe and treat gunshot wounds. The exercises are intended to complement the theoretical training given at the Centre, which has been granted permission by the Ministry of Justice to use experimental animals in the training program. The animals used are shot in the abdomen and both thighs and are kept anesthetized during the exercise but, if possible, breathe spontaneously. Assisted ventilation is available at all times. The weapons used are military weapons: a low velocity 9-mm semiautomatic pistol, SIG P210, a medium velocity rifle, US M1 Carbine, and a high velocity rifle, the AK-74. The ammunition used is conventional, full metal jacketed bullets. Having been shot, the animals are given first aid by the participants who play the roles of ordinary soldiers. The animals are then taken to the regimental aid post, where they are attended by a surgeon for the first time. Intravenous tubes, chest tubes, hemostats, etc. are applied, whereupon the animals are transported by military ambulance to the field hospital. There the abdominal wounds are examined by la...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
