Introduction:
The various aspects that comprise metabolic syndrome such as pre-diabetes,
dyslipidemia and pre-hypertension epitomize prodromal phases of severe cardiometabolic
disorders.1 Lifestyle modifications have demonstrated the ability to mitigate or arrest the
subsequent advancement of various components of metabolic syndrome. The cardio protective
benefits of the adoption of the Mediterranean diet have been well established in the medical
literature. But can this supposed panacea be more effective in preventing the progression from
pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes than traditional pharmacological interventions such as the use
of Metformin? That is what this paper will endeavor to ascertain.

An Evaluation of Hemorrhage Control in a Field Environment

Abstract Tesim:
Massive hemorrhage is the number one cause of battlefield mortality
followed by tension pneumothorax and airway trauma. As a result of this,
hemorrhage control has been at the forefront of battlefield medicine. Lifesaving
intervention can be performed at the most basic level of Self Aid Buddy Care.
With its success, the civilian population is incorporating hemorrhage control
into the echelon of pre-hospital emergency care. Programs, including Stop the
Bleed are providing training and education in tourniquet use to the most likely
first responders and bystanders. The program, presented through UNC trauma, was
assessed for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). One
strength of the program is that it’s nationally recognized. Weaknesses include a
lack of training requests and volunteer instructors. Opportunities include
increased awareness of potential for mass casualties and improvements in
technology. The analysis also looked at threats to the program such as the lack
of a certifying assessment. Overall, the programs are vital as tourniquet use
has been shown to be an invaluable tool in controlling life threatening
hemorrhage.
