USAISR PUBLIC AFFAIRS
More than 1,700 military medical clinicians and scientists joined academia and industry leaders to kick off the 2015 Military Health System Research Symposium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Aug. 17. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Dr. Jonathan Woodson welcomed attendees during the opening session of the four-day conference Aug. 17-20, designed to highlight military-relevant research and development. Woodson spoke about future priorities for the military health system. “We are in the midst of a major transformation in military medicine and as we pivot
to the future - as we come out of this decade plus of combat - we need to understand what the imperatives are for the future,” said Woodson. “As we look to the future, it will be necessary to redesign how we do business across many domains to show that we are better, stronger and more relevant to the times and challenges that are before us - and there will be many.” MHSRS combined three previous conferences, including the former Advanced Technology Applications for Combat Casualty Care Conference; the Air Force Medical Service Medical Research Symposium; and the Navy Medicine Research Conference. By combining these conferences into one event, the meeting serves as a critical strategy ses-

Family Meal Time with Terry Lein Bow Tie Pasta and Italian Sausage
Research shows that families who eat together are healthier and happier. Children of all ages benefit from having dinner with their families on a regular basis; it leads to closer family relationships, healthier eating habits and greater success in school. September is National Family Meals month, and Terry Lein, wife of Maj. Gen. Brian Lein, commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and Fort Detrick, shares a family recipe as well as some insight on how the Lein family bonds over dinner. How does your family work to incorporate family meals despite your busy schedules? We have always made it a priority to eat dinner together. Some nights, it meant we ate quite late, but it is that important to us to have that time together as a family to catch up on our day. I have always made my children’s lunches when they were in school, and I still make my husband’s lunches. I like to make sure he eats healthy and has healthy snacks to keep him energized during his busy days. As a family, what benefits do you see to fitting in regular family meals? We are all very close. It is really important to us to talk, and we talk about everything! If we don’t hear from our kids at least once a day, we worry something is wrong. What does the Lein family talk about at the dinner table? Like I said, we talk about everything.

I can’t think of a topic that would be off limits. Brian being a doctor has lent itself to some very colorful and educational conversations. It depends on the day what we share at the table; It could be politics, religion, SEC football or relationships. Do you and Maj. Gen. Lein have any advice about how to make family dinners successful? Our advice is to make it happen! It has to be a commitment to carve out
the time even with all the activities of life. When we sit down to eat there are no cell phones, computers or TV. Now with all the kids off to college and starting on their careers there is nothing we look forward to more than sitting down together for dinner. This recipe is a family favorite. The first time we had it was at a friend’s house before we were relocated to Landstuhl, Germany, in 1993. We have been making it ever since. It’s great to make for company too!

During the early 1940s the Maryland Army National Guard formally leased Detrick Field on a year-round basis from the City of Frederick for use. The last military aircraft left Detrick Field in December 1941 following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. All assets of
the 104th Aero Squadron of the 29th Infantry Division, Maryland National Guard, were assigned anti-submarine patrol duty off the Atlantic Coast. Detrick Field Site was considered an ideal site to build a research center due to the isolated area, and was authorized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command would like to remind you that August is National Immunization Awareness Month, which means it is time to ensure your family’s immunizations are upto-date and schedule your seasonal flu shot. People of all ages should maintain their health through immunizations. Vaccines have helped wipe out or significantly reduce the number of many dangerous and deadly diseases in the U.S. and the world. Despite the success, many people become severely compromised or die from preventable diseases. By staying up-to-date on recommended vaccinations, Soldiers and Army civilians help protect themselves, their families, friends and the Fort Detrick community from life-threatening infections. Vaccines are especially important for the military to ensure our Armed Forces are ready and fit. The Army’s history of using preventive vaccinations began in 1777 when George Washington ordered the inoculation of all Continental Army recruits to prevent smallpox, an extremely infectious and serious disease. In the years since, USAMRMC researchers have developed vaccines that have prevented diseases in the military but have also helped safeguard public health. “While the Army has developed many vaccines, the development of the influenza vaccine is probably the vaccine that most Americans recognize,” said Capt. Xiaoxu
Lin, Ph.D., laboratory director of the USAMRMC’s Walter Reed Army Institute of Research’s Viral Diseases Branch. The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses and can cause mild to severe illness. In the 1940s, the U.S. Army Surgeon General commissioned research to develop influenza vaccines after recalling an outbreak of the flu that sapped the strength of the Army in the early 1900s. The vaccine was one of the first iterations of the flu vaccine still used today. The single best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each season. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the U.S. range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people. “There are a couple of common misconceptions about the flu vaccine that many people have that stop them from getting the vaccine,” said Lin. “One is that the flu shot will give them the flu, and the other is that flu vaccinations are just for kids. Both of these statements are not true.” There are two vaccines available: the flu shot or the nasal spray mist. There are common side effects associated with both vaccines, which include soreness and redness at the injection site, cough, nasal congestion, sore throat and chills, but most resolve within 24 to 48 hours. Flu vaccines are safe and are not able to infect you with the flu because the vaccines contain killed or weakened viruses.

CDMRP Professional Development Series Includes Pioneer Surgeon MELISSA MYERS
USAMRMC PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program welcomed Dr. Wei-Ping Andrew Lee to the Fort Detrick auditorium as part of the CDMRP professional development series Aug. 6. Lee, current professor of plastic and rehabilitative surgery and director of the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, delivered the audience a captivating lecture on “Changing the Risk-Benefit Balance of Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation.” Lee is a true pioneer in the area of hand transplantation, being among the first to perform a single hand transplant in the United States in March 2009. Lee went on to lead a team of surgeons to perform the nation’s first double-hand, or bilateral, hand transplant in May of 2009, and then later was also the first in the nation to perform a transhumeral transplant in 2010. Moving forward to 2012, Lee and his team then successfully performed a second bilateral arm transplant on an Iraq War veteran quadruple amputee. Having established multidisciplinary programs for hand transplantation at both Johns Hopkins and the University of Pittsburgh, Lee and his team have performed, and continue to perform, exceptional and life-changing work. “We believe that this is an area worth maturing,” commented Lee concerning the importance of transplantation advancement

and what these procedures give back to recipients; “because, when you have nothing, a little is a lot.” Transplantation is a fast-developing and exciting field, with incredible advancement occurring since the first successful hand transplant in France in 1998. Worldwide, there have been 227 total Vascularized Composite Allografts, or VCAs, performed; with the vast majority of those being hand transplants, coming in at 113. “In the last 18 years or so around the world, a number of VCAs have been per-
formed,” said Lee, and “even though Europe led the way in the beginning, the United States is catching up.” According to Lee, there are more major limb amputations returning from Iraq and Afghanistan than ever before; and Lee and his team feel a strong pull towards this “particularly deserving” group of single, double, triple and even quadruple amputee men and women returning from theatre. “Everyone here knows how devastating an amputation can be,” said Lee to the room full of attendees sitting before him;
Sustaining a community of excellence through restoration, environmental stewardship and workforce development
and “even though we’re not saving their life, VCAs can be life giving.” The work Lee and his team are doing increases transplant recipients’ independence and function, allowing these individuals to actually have the ability to return to work/ school and move forward with their lives; an option they did not, and would not, have had without transplantation. Although the use of prosthetics has proven life-changing as well, prostheses have their shortcomings; and for the hand in particular, a prosthetic can in no way ever replace what is lost with a hand. “Prosthetics, despite all their advances, cannot fully replace the multiple tasks of the human hand, such as the ability to touch and to feel; to give a hug or to hold your loved ones hand,” explained Lee. New advancements by multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research teams like Lees are changing the transplantation paradigm. Surgical endeavors as complex as transplantation may come with their own unique challenges and complications -- requiring the technical competence of many different areas of expertise -- but when weighing the costs versus the benefits, Lee and his team have found that the benefits far outweigh the risks; improving the patients’ quality of life in unimaginable ways. With many patients currently waiting on the donor list for VCAs, Lee and his robust laboratory team look forward to many more opportunities to change the lives of amputees. “I consider all of you here as an integral partnership force in this endeavor,” said Lee in closing, “so, thank you.” This CDMRP event was organized by the CDMRP professional development working group.
Upcoming Science Café Dealing with Head Injuries PAUL BELLO
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF HEALTH AND MEDICINE
With the new school year fast approaching, the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center and the National Museum of Health and Medicine are teaming up to offer families a fun-filled forum where they can learn how to minimize the risk of concussion, as well as how to recognize the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury. The presentation, “Your Head Matters: Wear a Helmet,” takes place during the NMHM’s monthly Medical Museum Science Café, Tuesday, August 25 from 6 - 7 p.m. in Silver Spring, Maryland. The free evening program promises to be informative, entertaining and unique, as Washington-based singer/songwriter Marsha Goodman-Wood will also be on hand to perform original songs that educate children about safety. Wood’s academic background is in cognitive neuroscience and her latest album, Gravity Vacation, includes a song entitled “Wear a Helmet,” a tribute to a high school friend who was injured in an accident. “We want to reach school age kids, as well as parents, and feel her [Wood] songs are a perfect complement to the night’s theme,” said Pamela Sjolinder, regional education coordinator for the DVBIC. “Our goal for presentations like this is to talk to parents and kids on a level where kids can understand the material. Most of all, we want this to be fun for everyone involved.” The DVBIC will have a table of information available, such as its parent guides detailing what to do when a child suffers a concussion or when to send children back to school following an injury. These guides also
offer tips on how to stay off the computer and how to cut back on physical education when an injury has occurred. The Shannon Maxwell books, “Big Boss Brain” and “My Dad is Invincible,” written especially for children of military parents who have suffered a traumatic brain injury, will also be available for families to take at the program. Sjolinder, who briefs all the youth sports teams at Fort Belvoir and who has worked this summer with its youth soccer and basketball camps, will also provide a hands-on demonstration on how to properly wear a bicycle helmet. She will be joined by her colleague, Sherray Holland, a physician’s assistant and fellow educator at the DVBIC, who has worked at a concussion care center helping youth athletes. She will make a presentation that highlights the organization’s new educational initiative, “A Head for the Future,” which has additional information about concussions and prevention tips. “Parents don’t always know what to do with their child after a concussion. School teachers or athletic coaches understand the symptoms, but not so much the parents,” Sjolinder said. “One thing I try to do is ask them questions because most don’t know what to ask. A presentation like this definitely helps mom and dad.” The NMHM’s Medical Museum Science Cafés are a regular series of informal talks that connect the mission of the Department of Defense museum with the public. The NMHM was founded as the Army Medical Museum in 1862 and moved to its new location in Silver Spring, Maryland in 2012. For more information on this program or other NMHM activities, please visit www.medicalmuseum.mil.

Sjolinder will provide similar presentations during the Aug. 25 event at the NMHM monthly Medical Museum Science Cafe.

NMLC PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Naval Medical Logistics Command celebrated the Navy’s 68th Medical Service Corps birthday during a ceremony held at Fort Detrick August 4. Cmdr. Michael J. Kemper, the NMLC’s executive officer, opened the ceremony by reading several letters written by navy medicine leadership including Rear Adm. T. J. Moulton, director, Medical Service Corps; Rear Adm. S. M. Pachuta, chief, Dental Corps; Rear Adm. R. C. Bono, director, Medical Corps; Rear Adm. R. J. McCormickBoyle, director, Nurse Corps; Hospital Corps Force Master Chief, S. E. Boss, and Vice Adm. M. L. Nathan, United States Navy surgeon general. Through his written comments, Nathan said, “The Medical Service Corps is truly our most diverse corps in terms of what they bring to navy medicine. This group of dedicated professionals encompasses our scientists, researchers, medical providers and administrators in addition to the many subspecialties that characterize this talented corps.” “President Harry S. Truman signed the Army-Navy Medical Service Corps Act August 4, 1947, establishing a permanent, commissioned corps of specialists to complement the standing medical department officer corps. Initially comprised of four specialties, including supply and administration, medical allied sciences, optometry and

pharmacy, the Navy’s Medical Service Corps now has more than 3,000 active duty and reserve officers in 31 specialties,” said Nathan. NMLC’s former commanding officer, Capt. James “Bernie” Poindexter, chief of the Defense Health Agency’s Medical Logistics Division, was the guest speaker. In his remarks, he reflected, in part, on his time
as a Medical Service Corps member and the importance of building and sustaining relationships with those who comprise the MSC. “When I reflect upon my 32 plus years of active duty service and specifically on my time in the MSC, and all the jobs I’ve had, I think about how I became successful -- and that came through the relationships I have
Sustaining a community of excellence through restoration, environmental stewardship and workforce development
built and sustained over time.” He continued, providing comments that centered on the conclusion of his naval career, as his September 2015 retirement date approaches. “Whether you know it or not, you are a mentor - be that in a formal or an informal relationship - and I think this is absolutely critical to our development as professionals, and it is critical to where we are going as a corps. So I encourage you to continue to cultivate both formal and informal mentoring relationships. Capt. Mary S. Seymour, NMLC’s commanding officer, closed out the ceremony by presenting Capt. Poindexter with a commander’s coin. “I gave a lot of these out when I was the commanding officer here, but I never got one of these for myself,” Poindexter said. In closing, he directed his remarks to an audience comprised partly of MSC officers. “We must stay focused on the mission, stay purposeful, maintain our relationships and build on those relationships,” Pointdexter said. “That’s how we become successful -- build relationships by listening, respecting and trusting. We are only as effective as the relationships we build throughout our careers.” Naval Medical Logistics Command’s mission is to deliver patient-centered logistics solutions for military medicine. Its vision is to become the Department of Defense’s premier medical logistics support activity. Fort Detrick Standard August 21, 2015
