About Journal of Military and Veteran’s Health - JMVH
The Journal of Military and Veterans’ Health is the official journal of the Australasian Military Medicine Association www.amma.asn.au. It is a peer reviewed scientific journal dedicated to supporting the publication of research and information on military medicine and veterans’ health, recognising that the impact of military service translates into health effects on military personnel long after they retire. It provides and promotes information for those health professionals who are working in, researching or have an interest in the unique facets of medicine and health of military personnel and veterans.
E102: "Pathophysiology, treatment and aeromedical retrieval of SCUBA – related DCI" by Jeffrey Stephenson
"Pathophysiology, treatment and aeromedical retrieval of SCUBA – related DCI" by Jeffrey Stephenson outlines the pathophysiology, treatment, and aeromedical transfer of SCUBA-related decompression illness, detailing how changes in pressure during underwater diving lead to nitrogen bubble formation and arterial gas embolisms. It explores the historical development of diving medicine, explaining foundational concepts established by researchers like Paul Bert and J.S. Haldane regarding gas uptake and decompression tables. The source thoroughly examines medical interventions, emphasizing the necessity of immediate first aid, administration of pure oxygen, and definitive therapy inside hyperbaric chambers. Furthermore, it addresses the complexities of patient transport, highlighting how flight stressors such as altitude and vibration can exacerbate symptoms during aeromedical retrieval. Finally, the article tackles various clinical controversies, including the occurrence of decompression sickness despite adherence to safety tables and the validity of treating divers who present long after symptom onset.

E101: "Pelvic Floor Health in Female Military Personnel: A Narrative Review" by S O'Shea
"Pelvic Floor Health in Female Military Personnel: A Narrative Review" by S O'Shea evaluates pelvic floor health among female military personnel, highlighting how conditions such as urinary incontinence and genitourinary infections frequently affect servicewomen. The research underscores that rigorous physical training, heavy load carriage, and demanding deployments significantly increase the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction. Furthermore, female soldiers encounter distinct environmental, equipment, and cultural barriers that complicate proper hygiene management in austere settings. Servicewomen often rely on various self-management techniques, though some methods can inadvertently heighten their vulnerability to infections or dehydration. Ultimately, the literature emphasizes the critical need for tailored pre-deployment education and targeted organizational support to optimize the health and operational performance of female troops.

E100: "PROJECT CEREBRO: An Evaluation of Blast Gauges in the Australian Defence Force" by MAJ Steven Bennett MMS
100 Episodes of the JMVH podcast! Thank you all so much for your continued support of our podcast, it really means a lot to us to have such devoted listeners. For your 100th episode, we bring you.. "PROJECT CEREBRO: An Evaluation of Blast Gauges in the Australian Defence Force" by MAJ Steven Bennett MMS. Project Cerebro evaluated the effectiveness of Blackbox Biometrics blast gauges worn by Australian Defence Force personnel to monitor exposure to explosive pressure waves. Researchers discovered that troops frequently encounter potential blast risks during non-operational military training rather than active combat assignments. Although soldiers generally accepted the wearable sensors, logistical hurdles and limited operational data constrained the overall evaluation of the pilot program. Consequently, the study advocates for continued sensor deployment and deeper international cooperation to improve future research on mild traumatic brain injury.
