Medic wins research grant
Capt. (Dr.) Andrew Hall has been competitively awarded a $21,000 grant from the Office of the Air Force Surgeon General for his research on the effects of new blood vessel formation in the treatment of cold injuries such as frostbite. The study will investigate the use of the use of omental fats, which are found in the fat layer covering the intestines. According to Maj. Eric Olsen, director of the 81st Medical Group Clinical Research Laboratory, “They are capable of creating new blood vessels to increase blood flow to injured extremities and reduce the extent of cold injury. The study has military implications in reducing morbidity associated with cold injuries.” Captain Hall is a second-year surgery resident currently in fellowship training at the CRL.
