LAY SUMMARY Traumatic injury is the most common cause of death among young people. Most victims of trauma die alone before medical response is possible. Typical causes of death are not overly complex to fix if access to standard hospital interventions is feasible. Dying victims are often connected to smartphone-supporting informatic communication technologies, which make available a worldwide network of experts who can potentially reassure and remotely diagnose victims and provide life-saving advice. TeleMentored Ultrasound Supported Medical Interventions (TMUSMI) researchers have focused on empowering point-of-care providers to perform outside their scope and deliver life-saving interventions. With the recognition that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has profoundly isolated many people, solutions to respect COVID-19 isolation policies have stimulated the TMUSMI group to appreciate the potential for informatic technologies’ effect on the ability to care for oneself in cases of catastrophic injury.

LAY SUMMARY Military family caregivers (MFCs) can experience many health-related challenges associated with caregiving responsibilities. Perceived support from a spouse or partner can influence dyadic satisfaction and health outcomes among those who care for a spouse or partner. This study examined the relations among social support, dyadic satisfaction, and mental (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms) and physical (i.e., somatic symptoms) health outcomes in a sample of MFCs. This sample consisted of 104 MFCs who were the spouse or partner of their care recipient. The findings indicate that more support predicted greater dyadic satisfaction and greater dyadic satisfaction predicted fewer anxiety symptoms. This study highlights the importance of considering relationship-focused contributors to mental health outcomes.

LAY SUMMARY Optimal health is critical for military personnel’s performance and readiness. To date, military research on mental and behavioural health has primarily focused on men in the U.S. Army. Indicators of physical health (e.g., blood pressure) and how they relate to mental and behavioural health are also understudied in military populations. To explore the impact of occupational stress and to simultaneously assess different types of health in a more diverse military population, this study evaluated mental, behavioural, and physical health factors in a large group of U.S. Navy and Marine Corps service members that included men and women from various occupational specialties. Military job stress (e.g., time of service, number of deployments) was related to mental, behavioural, and physical health. A more well-rounded approach to health status assessment in large, diverse military populations may support the development of targeted disease prevention strategies.

LAY SUMMARY As a result of the unpredictable nature of warfare, military medics deployed on missions may be required to manage seriously ill or injured patients for longer than expected. Because this type of care is not typically the focus of a military medic’s training or mandate, core skills and knowledge gaps were, not surprisingly, identified. For this reason, specialized training was developed, and the term prolonged field care (PFC) was coined. PFC takes on concepts associated with traditional hospital care and translates them into austere military medical environments with limited resources, including supplies, equipment, and trained medical providers to manage critically ill or wounded patients. This training program helps medics maximize their ability to save lives and improve outcomes for those who are ill or injured. This article discusses how PFC originated both internationally and within the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command and core concepts and applications for future operations.

LAY SUMMARY Incarcerated Veterans represent 2.5% of the federal offender population and are a unique subset of the general Canadian Veteran population. This study provides the first in-depth examination of Veteran offenders in federal custody. During the study period, 374 federal offenders self-reported as Veterans. Federal Veteran offenders were older and more likely to have committed a violent offence and to have mental health concerns. Although they were more likely to report mental health concerns, Veteran offenders have more stable institutional behaviour and greater post-release success than non-Veterans. Understanding the unique characteristics and correctional experiences of federal Veteran offenders aids in identifying needs related to intervention and support to promote successful community reintegration after release. Future qualitative research should enhance knowledge of the lived experiences of Veterans involved in the federal criminal justice system in Canada.

LAY SUMMARY During the Second World War, Canada became a leader in the development and production of products used to treat shock, particularly shock caused by massive bleeds. Canada started the first blood service in response to the need for blood products overseas. This was done in the form of freeze-dried serum, which is made up of fluid-based proteins extracted from blood. Freeze-dried serum could be stored indefinitely and was lightweight, hardy, and easy to deliver both to the battlefield and to the patient. Freeze-dried serum could be provided to patients in shock as a result of losing a large volume of blood. Unfortunately, after the war, freeze-dried blood products fell out of favour over concerns about viral hepatitis. Recently, freeze-dried blood products have enjoyed a renaissance, and Canada is currently developing a new product to meet the challenges of remote resuscitation.
