Free THOR Webinar | July 7, 11 AM EDT Blood Products as Pharmaceuticals: Should that be our Goal? Dr. Steve Spitalnik will discuss defined dosing, potency, quality metrics, and the path toward precision transfusion medicine. Join: thornetwork.com/webinar #THORNetwork

Registration is open for THOR–CNS Rome 2026. Global leaders in trauma care, transfusion medicine, and emergency medicine will gather in Rome to advance resuscitation science for severe traumatic bleeding. 📍 Rome 📅Nov 10–11, 2026 Learn more: thorrome.com #TraumaCare

The afternoon session at #THOR2026 focused on hemorrhagic shock, endotypes, omics, AI, and precision medicine. The key idea: not one “magic bullet,” but the right treatment for the right patient. #TraumaCare #Hemorrhage #PrecisionMedicine

The second scientific morning session at #THOR2026 focused on TBI. Drs. Billiar, Valadka, and Hawryluk discussed blunt and penetrating brain injury, whole blood, plasma, omics, military data, and the challenge of building evidence-based guidance. #TBI #Neurotrauma

Day 2 of #THOR2026 opened with lessons from Ukraine. Drone warfare, complex wounds, prolonged tourniquet use, decision support, and AI-enabled trauma care are changing what casualty management requires. #Ukraine #MilitaryMedicine #TCCC

Questioning dogma is part of THOR’s DNA. Dr. Spinella discussed how cold-stored platelets have historically been viewed, and why hemostatic function matters in active bleeding. #THOR2026 #TransfusionMedicine

TOWAR Trial results: In injured patients requiring prehospital blood transfusion and at risk of hemorrhagic shock, whole blood did not result in lower 30-day mortality compared with component blood. #THOR2026 #WholeBlood

The whole truth about whole blood? We still need more LTOWB studies, timing matters, logistics matter, and the battlefield continues to answer questions. Give patients what they bleed. #THOR2026 #WholeBlood

Cryopreserved platelets may not replace liquid platelets where supply is strong. But Prof. Reade’s CLIP-II results show why they may still matter where platelet access is limited. Rural, remote, military, austere care. #THOR2026 #TransfusionMedicine

Plasma saves lives, but access is the challenge. Dr. Andre Cap discussed FrontlineODP™, Velico’s spray-dried plasma system, and Phase 1 trial results showing no safety signals, no thromboembolic events, and successful rehydration of 66 units. #THOR2026 #PlasmaEverywhere

RDCR is not one-size-fits-all. Irish leaders in prehospital care, surgery, anaesthesia, and transfusion medicine discussed the unique challenges of managing life-threatening bleeding and building RDCR capability in Ireland. #THOR2026

New to THOR? Curious about RDCR? Col Tom Woolley’s RDCR Primer traced how the field has evolved from defining resuscitation practices to building systems for whole blood, hemorrhage control, technology, ethics, and preparedness. It’s not just about whole blood. #THOR2026 #RDCR

Radiation injury isn’t just radiation. John McManus highlighted how immune collapse after exposure can drive infection, sepsis, organ failure, and death. Preparedness means understanding what actually determines survival. #THOR2026 #RadiationMedicine

The blood supply chain works like a vending machine, but LSCO asks how we keep restocking it under pressure. Surg Cdr Tom Scorer made clear there is no single answer. Every product has limits. Preparedness means layered blood support. #THOR2026 #TransfusionMedicine

The gap is not just radiation science. It is dose estimation, biodosimetry capacity, cytokine use, stockpile readiness, and internal contamination management at scale. Dr. Nicholas Dainiak made the preparedness challenge clear. #THOR2026 #RadiationMedicine

At #THOR2026, Prof. Ray Powles highlighted the EBMT Pocket Guide, a practical tool for radiation triage using blood counts and clinical signs to guide care under pressure. Small guide. Big stakes. #RadiationPreparedness #Hematology

At #THOR2026, Dr. Mayhew examined Hiroshima and Nagasaki through a clinical lens, from blast and burns to marrow failure, bleeding, infection, and survivorship. #TraumaCare #NuclearPreparedness
