Abstract During World War II, both Soviet Red Army and German Wehracht forces suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, many from infectious disease. In a recent book, Dr. Kenneth Alibek has suggested that the Soviet Red Army used tularemia (causative agent, Francisella tularensis) as a biological weapon during the battle of Stalingrad (1942–1943). Based on past clinical cases and the nature of the pathogen, we propose that an outbreak resulting from natural causes is more likely.

Abstract During performance testing of portable ventilators, it was noted that an area on the case of one of the devices, the LTV 1000, was noticeably warm. This investigation examined the case temperatures of this portable ventilator and a portable ventilator currently in the Department of Defense inventory, the Uni-Vent 754, during simulated clinical conditions. Both have an integral method of producing compressed air. The hottest portion of the cases of the LTV 1000 and the Uni-Vent 754 reached temperatures of 39.9 to 46.7°C and 35.4 to 35.9°C, respectively, across a range of simulated clinical conditions. Investigations have found the risk of burns to increase with temperatures greater than 40°C. The cases of these devices are not designed to be in contact with the skin. Personnel should properly position these and other devices during patient transport and not allow contact with the patient's skin. Reprint & Copyright © Association of Military Surgeons of U.S., 2001

Abstract The American Diabetes Association emphasizes interdisciplinary management as the standard of care for patients with diabetes. Many times, however, interdisciplinary means various health care professionals treating a patient but not necessarily interacting with each other regarding the patient's care. Recently, Tripler Army Medical Center replicated the Joslin Diabetes Center's diabetes outpatient intensive treatment program as part of a Joslin Diabetes Center/Department of Defense/Veteran's Administration research collaboration. Tripler Army Medical Center named this interdisciplinary program Holopono,which is Hawaiian for success. Holoponois a team of health care professionals providing integrated care and education to a group of diabetes patients over 3.5 days. Individual care management, aided by an Internet-based telemedicine system, then continues for 1 year after entry into the program. This article describes the Holoponoprogram, the role of each team member, and how the team functions together to provide comprehensive diabetes care.
