What Does the Military Health System Need to Support Future Combat Operations? Lessons from Aeromedical Evacuations from 2008 to 2020
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study reveal what the MHS can expect in future conflicts. Most evacuations are for psychiatric-/injury-/musculoskeletal-related diagnoses, typically requiring care by psychiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, or general surgeons. Outpatient care is important, though it is critical to bolster inpatient care requirements as future conflicts may bring extensive numbers of inpatient casualties. The MHS should program and plan resources accordingly, planning for the care of surgical/injured and psychiatric patients.PMID:38573802 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae128 (Source: Military Medicine)

Cumulative Blast Impulse Is Predictive for Changes in Chronic Neurobehavioral Symptoms Following Low Level Blast Exposure during Military Training
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that measures of cumulative blast impulse may have utility in predicting changes in NSI scores. Such paired dosimetry-symptom measures are expected to be an important tool in safely guiding Service members' occupational exposure and optimizing force readiness and lethality.PMID:38553989 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae082 (Source: Military Medicine)

A Case of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in an Active Duty Military Health Care Worker
We present a case of MDR-TB in an active duty U.S. Military health care worker and discuss several considerations for treatment that may present challenges for U.S. Military medical practitioners. A 30-year-old active duty Soldier was referred to Army public health services after a bronchoscopy sample was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Sputum smears were negative for acid-fast bacilli, suggesting lower risk for community spread. One month after initiation of the standard 4-drug regimen for active TB, genetic susceptibility testing found the patient's M. tuberculosis isolate to be resistant to rifampin, is...

Pneumococcal Perplexity: Improving Awareness of Updated Pneumococcal Vaccination Recommendations in Two Large Military Treatment Facilities
CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant knowledge gap regarding ACIP pneumococcal vaccination recommendations among military providers and a low pneumococcal vaccination rate for adults aged 19 to 64 years with asthma at Joint Base-San Antonio MTFs. Focused education sessions were effective in increasing providers' knowledge of updated pneumococcal vaccination recommendations, confidence in recommending vaccines, total number of pneumococcal vaccinations given, and estimated pneumococcal vaccination rate for adults with asthma. The validity of conclusions drawn from our data were limited because of discordant numbers of survey...

Normative Values for the Head Shake Sensory Organization Test in an Active Duty Military Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: This study established normative values for the HS-SOT in a military population. Equilibrium scores did not differ between men and women or among age groups, suggesting that these values can be used as reference points for most service members. Postural stability was found to be significantly challenged during head motion, indicating the HS-SOT is a valuable tool for identifying subtle impairments in postural stability. These findings have important implications for early detection and intervention in individuals with medical conditions affecting balance, particularly concussions or vestibular disorders.PMID:3...

Efficacy of 1% Clotrimazole Powder Monotherapy for Treating Tinea Cruris: A Comparative Randomized Study
CONCLUSION: Monotherapy with 1% clotrimazole powder showed comparable efficacy to 1% clotrimazole cream. Furthermore, the powder treatment reduced sweat more effectively compared to the cream.PMID:38554260 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae105 (Source: Military Medicine)

Modeling Risk for Lower Extremity Musculoskeletal Injury in U.S. Military Academy Cadet Basic Training
CONCLUSIONS: In addition to variables typically collected in this tactical setting (Injury History, BMI, and aerobic fitness), the inclusion of kinematic testing appears to enhance the precision of the risk identification model and will likely continue to be included in screening cadets at greater risk.PMID:38554261 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usae083 (Source: Military Medicine)
