A 3-D Finite-Element Minipig Model to Assess Brain Biomechanical Responses to Blast Exposure

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Despite years of research, it is still unknown whether the interaction of explosion-induced blast waves with the head causes injury to the human brain.

Lack of chronic neuroinflammation in the absence of focal hemorrhage in a rat model of low-energy blast-induced TBI

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2017
Blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been a common cause of injury in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Blast waves can damage blood vessels, neurons, and glial cells within the brain.

Repeated Low-Level Blast Overpressure Leads to Endovascular Disruption and Alterations in TDP-43 and Piezo2 in a Rat Model of Blast TBI

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Recent evidence linking repeated low-level blast overpressure exposure in operational and training environments with neurocognitive decline, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative processes has prompted concern over the cumulative deleterious effects ...

Objective and Subjective Auditory Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury and Blast Exposure in Service Members and Veterans

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Service members and veterans (SMVs) with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or blast-related injury often report difficulties understanding speech in complex environments that are not captured by clinical tests of auditory function.

Color changing photonic crystals detect blast exposure [PDF]

NeuroImage, 2011
Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is the "signature wound" of the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, with no objective information of relative blast exposure, warfighters with bTBI may not receive appropriate medical care and are at risk of being returned to the battlefield. Accordingly, we have created a colorimetric blast injury

Blast Exposure Leads to Accelerated Cellular Senescence in the Rat Brain

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is one of the major causes of persistent disabilities in Service Members, and a history of bTBI has been identified as a primary risk factor for developing age-associated neurodegenerative diseases.

Cavitation in blast induced traumatic brain injury: the occurrence, mechanism, threshold and implication [PDF]

, 2021
Blast induced traumatic brain injury (BTBI) has been a prevalent injury in recent conflicts, due to the vast use of improvised explosive devices. However, the mechanisms for BTBI remain unclear, particularly those linked to the primary blast waves ...

Blast Exposure and Risk of Recurrent Occupational Overpressure Exposure Predict Deployment TBIs [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2019
Abstract 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 TBI following an acute, high-level ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
