In 2021, Keith Mims’ family had his funeral programs printed. 95 days later, he emerged from the hospital as a walking miracle.

Keep reading for his story, along with expert advice from a Brookwood Baptist Health cardiothoracic surgeon on steps you can take to avoid ending up on the operating table.

Meet Keith Mims

If Keith Mims seems familiar, you may have heard him hosting his own sports show on Summit Media or announcing football games. For years, he announced at Legion Field and for the Alabama High School Athletic Association.

Then in 2019, he developed chest pains and started sweating and vomiting. He quickly called 911 and told the operator “I think I’m having a heart attack; I’ll leave the door open.”

That turned out to be the first of three major heart episodes. Doctors at Brookwood Baptist Medical Center treated the first two with heart catheterizations, but the third was a matter of life or death.

Open heart surgery

This time, Mims’ doctors told him he’d have to have open heart surgery. Ultimately, Mims had a quadruple bypass followed by 65 days in the main hospital, plus another month of inpatient rehab.

Mims spent much of that time in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) at Brookwood Baptist Medical Center. While there, he lost about 40 pounds and couldn’t eat, sit up or use his body.

Once he was able to leave intensive care, his rehab involved learning to walk again with the help of a physical therapist.

“The care that I got at Brookwood was just incredible. Everyone had an overwhelming sense of pride in doing their job in a first-class way. I am so exceptionally grateful for them.”

Now Mims walks two miles on the treadmill seven days a week and lifts weights three days a week, even though his heart only beats at 15% of capacity.

He considers himself lucky to be alive, thanks to the expert care he received.

Dr. Trent Howard’s top tips for heart health

After hearing Mr. Mims’ story and dealing with heart issues with a few people in my inner circle, I wanted to speak with a heart surgeon.

My main question: What can we all do to protect our hearts and hopefully keep from ending up on the operating table?

Fortunately, Dr. Trent Howard, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Shelby Baptist was kind enough to spend time answering my questions.

Here are his top tips:

1. Do the things we’ve been told all our lives will help us stay healthy

In case you need a refresher, these include:

Control your blood sugar + pressure
Don’t smoke—or quit smoking if you do
Exercise
Make healthy food choices
Take your prescribed medications

2. Pay attention to new symptoms

Here are some examples of what not to ignore:

Chest pain
Feeling lightheaded or dizzy, like you are going to pass out
Getting tired or fatigued—more than normal
Palpitations
Shortness of breath
Swelling in your extremities

“All of those things could be symptoms of new heart artery problems, heart rhythm problems or even vascular disease.

If any of these symptoms are new or persistent, they should definitely be checked out by your primary care doctor or your cardiologist if you already have one.

“They can start the process of EKGs, stress tests, heart catheterizations and so on,” said Dr. Howard.

3. Know when to go to the ER

Sometimes you just need to go directly to the emergency room:

“If you’re experiencing new shortness of breath, new chest pain or passing out, you want to get to the emergency room right away.

Don’t spend time trying to get into your doctor or cardiologist because things need to be addressed immediately.

“The ER can do a good job of sorting out what’s going on and what needs to happen,” said Dr. Howard.

What to expect if you go to the ER with heart problems

In the ER, here’s what you can expect:

An EKG to trace your heart rhythm
Blood work to see if there’s injury to the heart muscle or if you’re in an ongoing heart attack
Pulse oximeter to make sure you’re getting enough oxygen
Chest X-Ray to rule out various issues

The results of these tests will help determine what’s going on and the treatment pathway.

Here are some of the main options:

Hospital admission: for stress tests, heart catheterization or surgery
Heart monitor: to determine if you have a heart rhythm problem
Cardiologist or electrophysiologist (“heart electrician”): to poinpoint the problem and potential solutions
Heart rhythm restoration / stroke prevention: to address a known heart rhythm problem

Protect your heart—it’s the only one you haveI don’t know about you, but after hearing Keith Mims’ story and getting Dr. Howard’s tips, I’m feeling pretty motivated to take some actions to protect my health.

“These are the things you can do to prevent winding up in the cardiologist’s office or in the operating room,” Dr. Howard said.

Ability to Treat Patients Who Require Blood in Peril, Donations at 20-Year Low

The number of blood donors is at an all-time low going back 20 years, according the American Red Cross. This has led to a critical shortage of blood supplies across the country — to the point that the organization declared an emergency blood shortage in January 2024.

Investigators at UAB recently published research in JAMA which shows that the nation’s ability to treat patients who require blood on any given day is in peril. Our nation’s ability to treat the patients who require blood on any given day — from victims of mass-casualty events to those undergoing treatment for cancer — is in serious peril, according to a new paper, “The Bloody Transfusion Problem,” published in the Journal of the American Medicine Association (JAMA).

John B. Holcomb, M.D., professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery. (UAB)

John B. Holcomb, M.D., professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery and lead author, paints a picture that extends beyond technical research into the economics, politics, and logistics of solving the country’s problems surrounding blood supply and usage. These include the alarmingly inadequate supply of blood overall alongside the need for shelf-stable blood products; the near-absence of blood products available in prehospital settings; and the need to sustain consistent research funding for trauma studies of hemorrhagic shock.

Key findings show that fewer than a third of hospitals which received blood components from the American Red Cross in 2019 routinely had platelets ready for transfusions. Among prehospital systems including helicopters and ground ambulances, fewer than one percent have prehospital transfusion programs. And overall, throughout the United States, the rate of blood donation is falling. In fact, the Red Cross recently declared an emergency blood shortage and reported that the number of U.S. blood donors is at all-time low going back 20 years. The consequences are amplified by a staggering amount of trauma, currently the leading cause of life-years lost among people between one and 75 years of age and costing the United States billions annually.

Translating trauma care

Holcomb has been studying these issues for most of his career, which spans from treating soldiers on the battlefield to civilian trauma care; Holcomb has a wealth of experience as a retired army colonel who served as the Commander of the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research and Trauma Consultant for the Army Surgeon General from 2002 to 2008.

Holcomb describes a seminal moment early in his trauma career. During his surgical residency, he had been trained to resuscitate patients primarily with crystalloid, followed by red cells, plasma, and platelets in sequential order.

“The patients became incredibly deluded and coagulopathic,” Holcomb said.

After he first deployed with the Joint Special Operations Command in Somalia in 1983, he started giving fresh whole blood to trauma patients.

“It was remarkable to see the physiologic effect, the lack of coagulopathic bleeding, and how well the patients did with fresh, whole blood available,” Holcomb said.Holcomb identifies that experience as an impetus for his ongoing efforts to advocate for changes in the U.S. civilian and military blood supply. The improvements in outcome Holcomb witnessed on the battlefield have been confirmed by government-sponsored studies, resulting in changes in practice at trauma centers around the world.

Still, Holcomb estimates it will require hundreds of millions of dollars to mitigate injury’s societal impact and create lasting change.

Waging the battle

Meanwhile, Holcomb sees much work left to be done to address the other problems outlined in his research. One issue of grave concern surrounds care in the prehospital setting.

According to the paper, “Although the use of prehospital blood products is standard of care within the deployed Department of Defense trauma system only a limited number (<1 percent) of civilian prehospital systems have implemented prehospital transfusion programs despite high-quality evidence supporting a mortality benefit in this setting.”

Meanwhile, 33 percent of hospitals themselves that received blood components from the American Red Cross in 2019 did not routinely have platelets ready to transfuse to bleeding patients.

There are also issues of disparity, with rural, minority, and disadvantaged trauma patients impacted more heavily than others.

“Patients who already have a disproportionate death rate also disproportionately do not have blood available in the EMS agencies that serve their zip codes,” Holcomb said. “There is an economic disparity that trickles down into health disparities and causes more people to die unnecessarily. It’s that simple.”

The requirements of cold-chain blood storage present an additional challenge in civilian, especially prehospital, and military applications.

“Imagine a doctor in Syria working out of a backpack,” Holcomb said. “Keeping the blood products cold is difficult.”

To overcome this, Holcomb is a strong advocate for getting shelf-stable blood products to market, a goal multiple countries around the world have already achieved. He is optimistic that shelf-stable blood products will be available in U.S. within the next couple of years.

“The units donated are going down while the need for blood goes up,” Holcomb said, pointing to the estimation presented in the paper that more than 55,000 additional donors will be required for the new prehospital blood program implementation alone.

The paper advocates for increased reimbursement for blood-collection centers as well as payment for donors.

“The testing today is so good that I see no problem with people selling blood and improving the supply of blood product in the United States,” Holcomb said.

The paper states that while the investment required to address the multifaceted issues surrounding the nation’s blood supply, policies, and protocols is significant, improving care is cost effective over the long term. As it is, the costs of trauma to the U.S. are estimated $4.2 trillion a year. The nonmonetary costs are immeasurable.

“This is not abstract,” Holcomb said. “It’s personal. This involves our kids, our spouses, and our parents as they go about their everyday lives. The death rate from lack of blood prehospital alone is extraordinary and can be prevented.”

He added that these issues have been discussed within the transfusion and trauma communities for years, but he hopes the publication will reach a wider audience and ultimately affect greater change.

Co-authors of “The Bloody Transfusion Problem” are William K. Hoots, M.D., professor emeritus in the Departments of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston and Travis Polk, M.D., director of the Combat Casualty Care Research Program, U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, Uniformed Service University of Health Sciences in Fort Detrick, Maryland.

HACKATHON — The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s team of four Department of Computer Science students was the top winner at Auburn Hacks 2024, the state of Alabama’s largest hackathon, along with an award for the best use of MongoDB, a developer data platform. (UAB)

By Tehreem Kham | UAB News

The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s team of four Department of Computer Science students was the top winner at Auburn Hacks 2024, the state of Alabama’s largest hackathon, along with an award for the best use of MongoDB, a developer data platform.

At Auburn Hacks 2024, a 24-hour event where students from universities across the Southeast united to build technical projects, the UAB team stood out among others by utilizing core engineering and hacking into a practical program to develop a project with real-world applications.

The team created a resume feedback website allowing users to enter their resume and a job description to get personalized, immediate feedback. The feedback will be tailored to the role the user is applying for, and it will also advise on things to improve and edit, alongside guiding the user if they are a good fit for the role.

“I am so proud of the hard work of these students,” said Department Chair Yuliang Zheng, Ph.D. “Students in our computer science program experience comprehensive education, thanks to our balanced curriculum. We place a strong emphasis on cultivating theoretical knowledge and technical skills in computing alongside hands-on experience to develop vital soft skills in our students. This holistic approach equips our students with the proficiency to apply cutting-edge knowledge to innovate solutions to real-world problems.”The winning team included the following College of Arts and Sciences students:

Michael Gathara of Hoover, Alabama, a second-semester graduate student in computer science.
Sowmith Kunapaneni of Vijayawada, India, a first-year doctoral student in computer science.
AJ Nettles of Monroeville, Alabama, a second-year graduate student in cybersecurity and a student of the National Science Foundation Cybercorps: Scholarship for Service Program at UAB.
Akshar Patel of Montgomery, Alabama, a computer science senior and an Honors Collegestudent in the Science and Technology Honors Program.

The hackathon provided a collaborative environment for Gathara, competitive energy for Nettles, an opportunity to innovate for Kunapaneni, an opportunity to learn and apply niche computer science skills for Patel, and a unique, fun experience for all, according to these students.

Applying computer science knowledge

Auburn Hacks presented an opportunity for these students to apply what they learned in their classes to real-world problems and develop an innovative project. They used class knowledge from their natural language processing courses taught by John Osborne, Ph.D., assistant professor, and artificial intelligence courses taught by Thomas Gilray, Ph.D., assistant professor.

“UAB’s computer science classes equipped me with the knowledge needed for this competition,” Gathara said. “The two classes that shine are NLP and AI. Our project dealt with both AI and, more specifically, the NLP subset of AI. The concepts I learned in these classes directly translated into the program that we built.”

A major part of Patel’s portion of the project was a top-down parser that would analyze and break down code or text data into individual components that are easy to understand or process.

“I would not have been able to do this if it were not for the automata and the programming languages courses, which exposed me to making parsers,” Patel said.

Working in the High Performance Automated Reasoning Lab under Gilray and taking graduate courses helped Kunapaneni develop problem-solving skills especially required to understand different perspectives toward solving the same problems.

Lessons from the hackathon

The students say this rigorous project-building competition at Auburn Hacks has taught them lifelong lessons, furthering their innovative and collaborative skills.

“My biggest takeaway was how to communicate within a team to put together a product in a short period,” Gathara said.

For Nettles, the biggest lesson was the value of interdisciplinary collaboration as the competition featured coders from multiple fields ranging from engineering to psychology. He found that constant communication and working alongside driven peers can go a long way when working on a passion project.

“We had only 24 hours to focus on one project, which meant having something viable quickly, and then iterating to make it better rather than trying to solve it all in one go,” Kunapaneni said.

Synchronization is key when managing a team project, which was the primary lesson for Patel. He learned a project management process that entails steps ranging from planning to finally bringing together individual components to complete the project.

The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham (“BWWB”) has adopted a voluntary Historically Underutilized Business (“HUB”) Program designed to encourage the participation of HUB firms in construction projects. To that end, the BWWB will never exclude any firm from participation in, deny any person benefits of, or otherwise discriminate in connection with the award and performance of BWWB contracts based on racial, gender, social, or economic status.

It is the intent of the BWWB to foster competition among contractors, suppliers and vendors that will result in better quality and more economical services for the BWWB. Under this program, the BWWB has established a goal of 30% participation of HUB firms for services required for BWWB construction projects. The BWWB’s stated goal will not be the determining factor in construction contract awards; rather bidders must demonstrate compliance with the Good Faith Efforts, more particularly outlined in the HUB Program, toward meeting said goal.

Failure on the part of a bidder to fully submit the information required herein may be considered by the BWWB in evaluating whether the bidder is responsive to bid requirements.

Alabama Code §31-13-9 (1975) provides that as a condition for the award of any contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham, a business entity or employer that employs one or more employees within the state of Alabama shall provide documentation of enrollment in the E-Verify program.

Each Prospective Bidder must complete, as a condition for the award of any Contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham, the Certification Regarding Debarment in Section 00201. The Certification must be complete in its entirety and must be included with the Prospective Bidder’s Bid (NO EXCEPTIONS).

Legislature of Alabama Act 2013-205 grants the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) the authority to issue certificates of exemption from sales and use taxes for construction projects for certain governmental agencies. Pursuant to Act 2013-205, Section 1(g) the Contractor accounts for the sales tax not included in the Bid Form by submitting an Accounting of Sales Tax-Attachment to BWWB Bid Form. Failure to provide an accounting of sales tax shall render the bid non-responsive. Other than determining responsiveness, sales tax accounting shall not affect the bid pricing nor be considered in the determination of the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. After Notice of Award, Contractor and Subcontractor licensed by the State Licensing Board for General Contractors must comply with ADOR requirements for making application for qualification of the exemption and are responsible for ADOR reporting requirements for the duration of the project.

If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, who has neither been disqualified nor rejected pursuant to these Contract Documents, and whose Bid based on an evaluation by the OWNER indicates that the award will be in the best interest of the Project and will result in the lowest overall cost to the OWNER for completion of the project. If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded within 60 calendar days after the day of the opening of bids.

The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, the right to waive irregularities or to accept any proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the OWNER.
