Human Injury Criteria for Underwater Blasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Underwater blasts propagate further and injure more readily than equivalent air blasts. Development of effective personal protection and countermeasures, however, requires knowledge of the currently unknown human tolerance to underwater blast.

The relationship between brain injury criteria and brain strain across different types of head impacts can be different. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2021 Multiple brain injury criteria (BIC) are developed to quickly quantify brain injury risks after head impacts. These BIC originated from different head impact types (e.g. sports and car crashes) are widely used in risk evaluation. However, the accuracy of

KDIGO-based acute kidney injury criteria operate differently in hospitals and the community-findings from a large population cohort. [PDF]
Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2016 Background Early recognition of acute kidney injury (AKI) is important. It frequently develops first in the community. KDIGO-based AKI e-alert criteria may help clinicians recognize AKI in hospitals, but their suitability for application in the community
