SEDA seeks to summarize the entire body of relevant medical literature into a single volume, identifying emerging trends and themes in medicine as related to side effects and adverse drug effects. The focus of Dr. Gubler’s contribution included the broad topic of blood, blood components, and blood-related therapies. Dr. Gubler also showcased RVU at a panel hosted by AMSUS, The Society of Federal Health Professionals, about research conducted by the Military Medicine Program, the Office of Research, and the Physician-Scientist Track. Dr. LaPorta published a manuscript entitled, "Robotically Applied Hemostatic Clamping for Care-Under-Fire: Harnessing Bomb Robots for Hemorrhage Control," in the Canadian Journal of Surgery. The research looks at existing law enforcement robots that are capable of providing autonomous hemorrhage control through the application of wound clamps to simulated extremity wounds. American College of Osteopathic Surgeons' 2021 Annual Clinical Assembly Presentations: • Lynzee Allen, OMS II, and Dr. LaPorta: "The Accuracy of Pre-hospital Acquisition and Interpretation of Lung POCUS Images in Patients Presenting with COVID-19 Disease: The Protection of the Hospital Staff on Arrival" • SD Clodfelder, Dr. Ryznar, and Dr. LaPorta: "Delayed Care in Myocardial Infarction and Cerebrovascular Accident Patients in The COVID-19 Pandemic" • Gina DiMattia, OMS III, and Dr. LaPorta: "Usability
