1 Plasma Med # 1 1 st International Conference on Plasma Medicine Corpus Christi, TX October 15-18, 2007 Plasma – Foundation for a New Revolution in Healthcare Richard M. Satava, MD FACS Professor of Surgery University of Washington and Senior Science Advisor US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command

2 Presenter Disclosure Slide* Richard M. Satava, MD FACS METI, Inc Preimera BC/BS InTouch Technologies, Inc Karl Storz Stryker SimuLab US Surgical * There will be no discussion of any products from these companies

3 “The Future is not what it used to be” ….Yogi Berra Disruptive Visions

4 “The Future is here …... it’s the Information Age” Current Visions

5 New technologies that are emerging from Information Age discoveries are changing our basic approach in all areas of medicine... EXAMPLES Fundamental Concept

6 Total Integration of Surgical Care Courtesy of Joel Jensen, SRI International, Menlo Park, CA Minimally Invasive & Open Surgery Pre-operative planning Surgical Rehearsal Intra-operative navigation Remote Surgery Simulation & Training Pre-operative Warmup

12 From tissue and instruments to Information and energy* * “The Information Age is about changing from objects and atoms to bits & bytes” Nicholas Negroponte “Being Digital” - 1995 The Fundamental Changes

13 Perceived Needs for Plasma in Medicine Infections disease treatment (eg leishmanaisis ) Hemorrhage control Sterilize equipment/supplies Continuous sterilize surgical instruments* Drug delivery and activation* Cell signaling and regulation*

14 Infections Disease Treatment Live/dead before and after treatment Determine efficacy of inactivation of parasites Insure safety of other cells and tissues Leishmanaisis

15 Hemorrhage Control Primary hemorrhage control Wound debridement and stablization “Electronic dressing” ?

16 Sterilization Equipment and supplies Continuous instrument sterilization

17 Working at the Cellular Level Drug delivery and/or activation Cell signaling and regulation

18 Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Long Island, NY Femtosecond Laser (1 x 10 –15 sec) Time of Flight Spectroscopy Cellular opto-poration Los Alamos National Labs, Los Alamos NM

21 Fig. 2. Top: Fluorescent micrograph of the actin cytoskeleton of an engineered striated muscle cell. Bottom: AFM-acquired topographical map. Wrinkles and lines along the diagonals of the 30 micron square are actin stress fibers under the lipid membrane surface. Fig. 3. Schematic illustrating the technique for functionalizing AFM tips to identify specific molecules on the cell surface during raster scanning. Fig. 4. Nanoincision by electroporation. (A ) The AFM cantilever is positioned above a region of interest in the cell. (B ) Electrical current is injected through the cantilever tip, causing the formation of a nanometer scale pore in the membrane, thru which the AFM tip can be dropped, or other instrumentation attached to the tip, prior to the membrane resealing.

22 This is what we need...... but what else can you imagine? Infections disease treatment (eg leishmanaisis ) Hemorrhage control Sterilize equipment/supplies Continuous sterilize surgical instruments* Drug delivery and activation* Cell signaling and regulation*

23 The Future …….is full of surprises and unintended consequences
