Hattiesburg Mississippi Ms Southern University

With one look at his extensive curriculum vitae, it’s evident that history professor Dr. Michael Neiberg lives and breathes military history. And because of this passion the link between The University of Southern Mississippi and the United States military has grown.

Neiberg, also director graduate studies and co-director of the Center for the Study of War and Society for the Southern Miss Department of History, recently accepted the Harold Keith Johnson Chair of Military History at the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) in Carlisle, Pa. USAWC prepares students for senior or advisory leadership positions in the Armed Forces, Department of Defense, foreign militaries and other government agencies.

Neiberg will serve as chair for the 2010-11 academic year, educating army colonels and lieutenant colonels on history and strategy.

“The prestige is a nice thing, but more important is the chance to work with the army’s educational staff,” Neiberg said. “I’ll have the opportunity to understand the inner workings of the U.S. Army, to get a better sense of their history and the current issues they are facing. This strengthens the ties between Southern Miss and the senior level army intellectual community.”

Created in 1978 to honor the legacy of General Harold Keith Johnson, the former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, this distinguished position is offered only to senior scholars in the field of military history. Neiberg received an invitation to join USAWC from the Commandant of the U.S. Army War College.

According to the USAWC Web site, chair holders are encouraged to pursue individual research and writing projects and make their expertise available to other programs in the war college.

“USAWC also hosts the Army Heritage and Education Center, which is the premier repository for army records,” Neiberg said. “For historians like me, it’s a wonderful, wonderful resource to have access to for a time. In the fall, I’ll teach Advanced Military History and in the spring I’ll teach an elective course.”

Specializing in comparative history of war and society, Neiberg previously taught at the Air Force Academy and received numerous teaching and mentoring awards. Neiberg is also a founding member of the International Society of First World War Studies, which is based in France. With his international presence on the rise, Neiberg was recently invited to join the scientific committee of the Museum of the Great War in Péronne, France. This is the largest World War I museum in the European Union.

In January, he was asked by the Department of the Army Historical Advisory Committee (DAHAC) to chair a team of five historians on an evaluation of the curriculum and instructional methods used at the army’s Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. The DAHAC is a White House level appointment and further strengthens the ties Southern Miss already has with the Leavenworth community.

“We will brief the 3-star general in charge of the army’s education programs at the Pentagon,” Neiberg said. “It’s our job to make sure the army’s history programs are in line with professional academic standards and to help them get the resources they need. One of the things we’ll be doing is to get the army to improve their record systems so wounded soldiers can more easily demonstrate where and how they suffered their injuries.”

Later this year, Neiberg will release a book that looks at the outbreak of World War I from the standpoint of European civilians who had to live through it. In 2008, the History News Network named him a Top Young Historian in America. Neiberg currently teaches courses in war and society and the history of modern France, in addition to world history.

“My work and accomplishments are an example of what the Southern Miss Center for the Study of War and Society is doing to make Mississippi a place where these critical issues are being studied and researched,” he said.

A new tool may help standardize the use of computed tomography (CT scans) in children with minor head injury and help reduce the number of scans, according to a new study in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj091421.pdf.

More than 650,000 children with minor head injuries resulting in loss of consciousness, amnesia, disorientation and/or vomiting are seen each year in emergency departments at North American hospitals. CT scans are important for diagnosing serious brain injuries but they expose children to the potentially harmful effects of ionizing radiation and significantly add to health care costs. Use of CT for minor head injury in Canadian pediatric emergency departments has increased to 53% in 2005 from 15% in 1995.

There are currently no widely-accepted, evidence-based guidelines on the use of CT scans in children with minor head injuries.

A team of researchers from pediatric institutions across Canada have developed the CATCH rule (Canadian Assessment of Tomography for Childhood Injury) to guide physicians in determining whether a child with minor head trauma should receive a CT scan. The study involved 3866 children aged 0 to 16 years of age from 10 Canadian pediatric teaching institutions.

"We believe an accurate clinical decision rule, like the CATCH Rule, can stabilize or reduce the number of children receiving a CT scan, thereby minimizing both health care costs and exposure to the potentially harmful effects of ionizing radiation," write Dr. Osmond, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and coauthors. "There is growing concern that early exposure to ionizing radiation may result in a significant rise in lifetime fatal cancer risk."

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Ottawa, University of Alberta, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, CHU Sainte-Justine, McGill University, Columbia University Medical Centre, University of Calgary, Dalhousie University and University of Manitoba.

There is considerable debate when it comes to the use of CT scans. Some support routine CT scanning of all minor head injury patients, while others are more selective.

"Without the support of widely accepted, evidence-based guidelines, physicians are likely to follow the conservative approach of ordering CT scans for most children seen in emergency departments with minor head injury," write the authors.

The authors conclude that the CATCH Rule, made up of 7 simple findings from the child's history and physical exam, has the potential to both standardize the need for CT and reduce the number of CT scans performed in children with minor head injury. They note that further studies are required to validate this rule in other pediatric age groups.
