Cumulative Blast Exposure During a Military Career Negatively Impacts Recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2023
Sub-concussive injuries have emerged as an important factor in the long-term brain health of athletes and military personnel. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between service member and veterans (SMVs) lifetime blast exposure ...

High Lifetime Blast Exposure Using the Blast Exposure Threshold Survey Is Associated With Worse Warfighter Brain Health Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2023
The purpose of this study was to extend previous research by examining the relationship between lifetime blast exposure and neurobehavioral functioning after mild TBI (MTBI) by (a) using a comprehensive measure of lifetime blast exposure, and (b ...

Validation of Military Occupational Specialty as a Proxy for Blast Exposure Using the Salisbury Blast Interview

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2023
Evaluating large data sets precludes the ability to directly measure individual experiences, instead relying on proxies to infer certain constructs. Blast exposure is a construct of study currently in its infancy, resulting in diverse definitions and ...

Cumulative Blast Exposure Estimate Model for Special Operations Forces Combat Soldiers

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2022
Special Operations Forces (SOF) Service members endure frequent exposures to blast and overpressure mechanisms given their high training tempo. The link between cumulative subconcussive blasts on short- and long-term neurological impairment is largely ...

Research Letter: Blast Exposure and Brain Volume

The journal of head trauma rehabilitation, 2021
Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Objective: To determine whether blast exposure is associated with brain volume beyond posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis and history of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Blast Exposure and Self-Reported Hearing Difficulty in Service Members and Veterans Who Have Normal Pure-Tone Hearing Sensitivity: The Mediating Role of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose Evidence suggests that military blast exposure may lead to self-reported hearing difficulties despite audiometrically normal hearing. Research identifying potential mechanisms of this association remains limited. The purpose of this article is to

Development of a Blast Exposure Estimator from a Department of Defense-Wide Survey Study on Military Service Members

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2020
Long-term, repeated exposure to low-intensity blast overpressure is a potential causal factor of lasting outcomes reminiscent of post-concussion syndrome.

Blast Exposure and Risk of Recurrent Occupational Overpressure Exposure Predict Deployment TBIs.

Military Medicine, 2020
INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in recent military conflicts and deployment-related TBIs are most commonly caused by blast. However, knowledge of risk factors that increase susceptibility to

Self-Reported Concussion Symptomology during Deployment: Differences as a Function of Injury Mechanism and Low-Level Blast Exposure

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2020
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can result from either direct impact to the head or blast exposure, has been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in recent military conflicts. However, little research has compared mTBIs by mechanism of injury.
