University of California Cannabis Research Workshop, May 2021: Meeting Summary.

This meeting report describes the University of California's (UC) Cannabis Research Workshop on May 26-27, 2021, which was organized by the UC Office of the President (UCOP) in partnership with the University of California, Davis (UCD). The event was designed to explore ways to strengthen research collaborations within and between campuses, discuss federal and state regulations and scientific priorities, and provide updates on current or recent cannabis and cannabinoid research studies. Topical areas were highlighted in four breakout sessions, including: 1) agronomy and environmental impacts; 2) biomedicine and public health; 3) economics, law, public policy, and social science; and 4) administrative considerations for supporting university research on cannabis and cannabinoids.

Combat Anesthesia: A Case Report of a Gunshot Wound and New Trauma Protocols.

Revolutionary innovations and technical advances in the disciplines of medicine, surgery, and anesthesia are inextricably connected to military conflict. The demonstrated lifesaving value of these novel approaches in high-acuity trauma has provided the impetus for translation of these elements into injury care in the civilian environment. One element of this battlefield medical revolution is the implementation and refinement of forward surgical care. All US military services have unique configurations of this surgical team to match their expeditionary capacity. The US Army Forward Surgical Team (FST) is a small, mobile surgical unit fielded since the 1990s, but not ubiquitously used until the current contingency operations in southwest Asia. The FST has been used in a variety of ways during the current conflict with or without augmentation by a forward support medical company, Area Support Medical Company, and Brigade Medical Company also known as C-Med. Far forward stand-alone FST have often been emplaced to provide a surgical capability for patients in austere operational environments and to optimize casualty survival in situations of high-risk operations and/or with potential for protracted evacuation.
