CRM Team Wins National Research Award
We are proud to announce that our research team has been awarded the Golden SAEMMIE for Best Case Report/Case Series by the Academy of Emergency Ultrasound (AEUS), a division of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM).
Our publication, “Parker MA, Hicks BG, Kaili M, Silver A, Zhu M, Feuerherdt M, Zhang Y, Thomas C, Gregory CR, Gregory KW, Schnittke N. The Lipliner Sign: Potential Cause of a False Positive FAST Examination. Journal of Emergency Medicine. June 2024,” was recognized for its contribution to advancing point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) by describing a novel imaging artifact that can mimic free fluid in trauma ultrasound exams. This is a clinically important discovery as it can reduce the false positive diagnosis of abdominal bleeding from trauma which will improve medical care. The so-called “lipliner sign” highlights how image post-processing can influence diagnostic interpretation—particularly in high-stakes trauma settings.
The AEUS, a leader in advancing emergency ultrasound education and practice, supports innovation and excellence through a variety of programs. These include the AEUS Innovation Competition, the AEUS Research Grant, and the SAEMMIES, which recognize the best publications in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) each year. The SAEMMIES award categories are Best Case Report/Case Series, Best Medical Education Research, Best Observational Research, Best Cross-sectional Research, and Best Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis.
We’re honored to be recognized among this year’s top contributors in ultrasound research and grateful for the continued support of our collaborators, institutional partners, and the broader emergency medicine community. Read the full article in The Journal of Emergency Medicine
Launch of Phase 3 Clinical Trial for Traumatic Brain Injury
The OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine, in collaboration with the VA hospital, is pleased to announce the imminent kickoff of a multi-center, phase 3 clinical trial to investigate the PoNSTM device for use in traumatic brain injury. The news has gained the attention of the international media.
Collaboration Between Tricol Biomedical and OHSU is Awarded NIH Grant for the Development of a Transurethral Hemostatic Device
Center Scientist Dr. Hua Xie will serve as the Co-Primary Investigator in the newly announced collaborative study with Tricol Biomedical to develop a novel chitosan endoluminal hemostatic device to control and prevent prostatic bleeding during prostatic surgery such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The device will enable rapid control of bleeding, reduce discomfort associated with extended catheterization, and more significantly enable reduction in hospital stays and expenditure. The OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine will receive funding as a subcontractor on the NIH Grant.
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) Announces Induction of Dr. Gregory
The exciting announcement from AIMBE confirms the success of Dr. Gregory and the OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine. AIMBE Fellows are regularly recognized for their contributions in teaching, research, and innovation. AIMBE Fellows have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Science and the Presidential Medal of Technology and Innovation and many also are members of the National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Vatheuer Family Foundation Announces Continuing Partnership with the OHSU Center for Regenerative Medicine
The generous support of of the Vatheuer Family Foundation is a powerful vote of confidence in the promising regenerative therapies being explored at the CRM. It helps to assure we may continue to produce cutting edge research in the field. More can be learned about our partnership on the Vatheuer Family Foundation Website.
OHSU CRM Collaborator RevMedX Wins Popular Science Invention Award for Innovative New Medical Device
Our close collaborator RevMedX won the Popular Science Invention Award 2014 for it's flagship product, the XStat. The XStat is a first-in-kind device for the treatment of gunshot and shrapnel wounds in the battlefield that is capable of stabilizing serious hemorrhage within 15 seconds. The XStat and other RevMedX products are the first line in saving the lives of wounded soldiers, and when combined with the promising new limb regenerative therapies being developed in our lab there is hope that even seriously wounded heroes can make a full recovery.
We are also working with RevMedX on a new version of the XStat, the XStat PPH, designed for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage in low resource settings. Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries, and is responsible for a quarter of all maternal deaths globally.
