A new $2.5 million research program at UT Health San Antonio is expected to focus on traumatic brain injury, stem cell research, drug development and anti-shock therapies.
An ambulance is parked at Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas at Austin in 2018. The university regents have approved money for a new trauma research program at UT Health San Antonio., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
The research at the new center aims to improve the way medical professionals help both civilians and military patients recover from physical and emotional trauma. The U.S. military has a long history of developing research to improve medicine. For example, a 2009 study on combat-related injuries found that warm, fresh blood made the single largest difference in improving survival rates. That medical innovation is now adopted in several trauma and pre-hospital systems.
For the past 25 years, the major hospital on the military base, Brooke Army Medical Center, has opened its doors to city residents for emergencies and acts as a Level 1 trauma center. Level 1 trauma centers offer the most comprehensive services to critically injured patients through all aspects of prevention and rehabilitation in a region.
Nicholson said the research team will focus on traumatic brain injury, stem cell research, drug development and anti-shock therapies — areas in trauma medicine that need more emphasis for medical innovation. Nicholson also mentioned artificial intelligence support in the medical industry, technological advances and the complex logistical systems required to bring these innovations into practical, regular use.Dr.
