The ketogenic diet: it’s not just a health fad or a trick for weight loss, but a scientifically sound approach to nutrition – and a credible means of optimizing warfighter health and performance. Together with researchers for Ohio State University, HDIAC Subject Matter Expert Joel Hewett discusses the science behind a well-formulated ketogenic diet and… -
This webinar addresses the threat posed by rising levels of antibiotic resistance across the globe, and explores means of predicting pathogenic resistance in order to limit or preempt its effects. Presented by Dr. Yousif Shamoo, Vice Provost for Research and Professor of Biosciences at Rice University, the webinar examines an approach that combines biophysics, genomics,… -
With even a mild or moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), the warfighter may suffer cognitive and/or behavioral impairments. Although symptoms present clinically, the type of biological structural damage that occurs from TBI may be “invisible” to commonly-used medical and scientific visualization techniques. In this webinar, researchers from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army… -
Global antimicrobial resistance is on the rise. Antimicrobial resistance affects warfighters and military personnel both on the battlefield and off. Combat wounds can be contaminated with environmental bacteria, such as S. aureus, that may confer resistance to conventional antibiotics. This was demonstrated in 2008, when multi-drug resistant bacteria were cultured from the wounds of soldiers…

Military Healthcare Conference
Starts on Monday, April 29th 2019 at 12:00 AM and Ends on Wednesday, May 1st 2019 at 11:59 PMThe Military Health System (MHS) is one of the leading and most multifaceted health care organizations in the United States. It is also a global preeminent military health care delivery operation, caring for 9.4 million beneficiaries in nearly 700 military healthcare facilities around the world. This doesn’t come without challenges though. MHS is still facing… -
ESA Annual Conference & Expo
Starts on Tuesday, April 16th 2019 at 12:00 AM and Ends on Thursday, April 18th 2019 at 11:59 PMThe energy storage industry is growing: expanding in size and scope, including new end uses and users, and integrating more technologies into the grid than ever before. The industry is challenging the status quo every day. ESA's Annual Energy Storage Conference & Expo (#ESACon19) highlights the trend of expansion, inclusion, and integration and offers opportunities… -
This webinar examines current and emerging medical capabilities for managing warfighter pain on the battlefield. Presented by Dr. Kyle E. Giesler, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley and HDIAC SME, this webinar discusses non-opioid means of managing moderate to severe acute pain in an austere environment. Specific treatments discussed include Morphine, Fentanyl,… -
Traumatic hemorrhaging is the leading cause of death on the battlefield, and the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S.. In contrast to lacerations and extremity injuries, deep abdominal wounds do not readily clot, are often incompressible, and cannot be sealed with tourniquets, bandages, or tissue adhesives. These injuries require prompt surgical intervention to…

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) are one of the signature wounds from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. HDIAC Director Stuart Stough discusses TBIs and the technologies in development that will help to quickly identify these injuries on the battlefield. Together with Ashley Eidsmore of the Army Research Laboratory, HDIAC Director Stuart Stough discusses TBIs and… -
Adhesives play an integral role in day-to-day military operations both on the battlefield and in the triage tent. Unfortunately, most adhesives lose their strength when exposed to water and aqueous solutions. Hydration compromises the intimate intermolecular contacts between the surface and adhering agent and promotes dissolution that results in partial or complete bonding failure [1].

Presented by Randy Alley, CEO & Chief Prosthetist for biodesigns, Inc., this webinar discusses innovative attachment systems that could be used to improve the performance of prosthetics and exoskeletons. Traditional approaches to attaching prosthetics or orthopedic devices to limbs use a simple capture approach, which has little regard for skeletal biomechanics, leaving the wearer without… -
Bone regeneration is an emerging technology in the Department of Defense. The application of bone regeneration could prove effective in helping injured warfighters return to a normal, pain-free life. Together with Dr. David Anderson, Professor and Head of Large Animal Clinical Services at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, HDIAC Subject Matter Expert Greg Nichols discusses… -
