Arthur Fleming

Arthur Fleming is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Surgery at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles, CA. His career spans over two decades with contributions in trauma surgery, critical care, and urban violence epidemiology.

• Specializes in trauma outcomes and gunshot wound management
• Focuses on post-trauma biochemical changes and hemodynamic optimization
• Active in public health research regarding injury patterns in underserved populations

Research Interests:
Fleming's work addresses trauma pathophysiology (e.g., tryptophan deficiency post-injury), critical care metrics (calcium levels as survival indicators), and geographic violence trends in Los Angeles. His surgical research includes colorectal injury management and atypical trauma patterns like cervical spine injuries from cranial gunshot wounds.

Publication Trends:
His 13 PubMed-listed articles (1990-2005) cluster in General Surgery (46%), Critical Care (23%), and Medicine (General) (23%). Key subfields include trauma timing optimization, urban violence mapping, and post-injury metabolic dysregulation.

Collaborations:
Worked extensively with teams at Charles R. Drew University including Shoemaker, Bishop, Kennedy, and Sterling-Scott. Networks include trauma epidemiologists Kalantar-Zadeh and Coleman, with physical proximity to researchers like Assari and Kim.
