A Laboratory Model for Studying Blast Overpressure Injury

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987
Blast injury remains an important source of trauma in both civilian and military settings. We have studied a recently developed blast wave generator to evaluate its effectiveness for laboratory study of blast injury. In order to determine the reliability of the device and the pathology of the lesions caused by the short duration (0.5-1.0 msec), and ...

Blast Traumatic Brain Injury in the Rat Using a Blast Overpressure Model

Current Protocols in Neuroscience, 2013
AbstractTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health concern for civilians and military populations, and blast‐induced TBI (bTBI) has become an increasing problem for military personnel over the past 10 years. To understand the biological and psychological effects of blast‐induced injuries and to examine potential interventions that may help to ...

Shooter-Experienced Blast Overpressure in .50-Caliber Rifles

Journal of Special Operations Medicine, 2018
Increasingly, military and law enforcement are using .50-caliber rifles for conflict resolution involving barricades, armor, vehicles, and situations that require increased kinetic energy. Consequences to the shooter resulting from the blast produced while firing these rifles remain unknown.

A Health Hazard Assessment for Blast Overpressure Exposures Subtitle - Blast Overpressure Research Program

1999
Abstract : The advent of nuclear blast caused a renewed interest in blast research in the United States. Thus, was the beginning of the Blast Overpressure Program at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. From the early 1950's through 1997, research on the biomedical, biological and biophysical effects of blast and shock was conducted.

Human Eye Response to Blast Overpressure

ASME 2012 Summer Bioengineering Conference, Parts A and B, 2012
Each year, approximately two million people in the United States suffer eye injuries that require treatment [1]. Although it is suggested that blast overpressure can cause serious eye injuries, there is no clear evidence in the literature to support this injury mechanism.

Lung Injury and Recovery After Exposure to Blast Overpressure

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2006
A critical immediate determinant of survival after exposure to blast overpressure (BOP) is pulmonary damage, but mechanisms of injury and the course of recovery are not well understood. The objective of this study was to characterize the progression of oxidative and inflammatory responses in lungs as well as the activation of consequent protective ...

Blast Overpressure in Rats: Recreating a Battlefield Injury in the Laboratory

Journal of Neurotrauma, 2009
Blast injury to the brain is the predominant cause of neurotrauma in current military conflicts, and its etiology is largely undefined. Using a compression-driven shock tube to simulate blast effects, we assessed the physiological, neuropathological, and neurobehavioral consequences of airblast exposure, and also evaluated the ...

Scaling Laws for the Peak Overpressure of a Cannon Blast

Journal of Fluids Engineering, 2016
For large cannons, blast overpressure can have a detrimental effect on the crew in the near field (i.e., within a distance of 50 tube diameters or calibers from the muzzle center) as well as on the support personnel and equipment in the far field (i.e., at a distance greater than 50 calibers).

Biological response to blast overpressure: A summary of modeling

Toxicology, 1997
A soldier in training is exposed to a variety of blast sources that can adversely affect his auditory and nonauditory systems. While auditory standards have been formulated for many decades, knowledge about nonauditory effects of blast have not been captured in a criterion that can be applied to all circumstances. For the past 15 years, JAYCOR, working

Blast Overpressure Studies with Animals and Man

1993
Abstract : The U.S. Army needs realistic safe limits for exposure to impulse noise produced by heavy weapons. Impulse noise limits, based on data from small arms, may be overly conservative. In order to define new limits for heavy weapons, this systematic 5-year study of the effects of high-intensity impulse noise on human volunteers was undertaken ...
