Modeling Highly Repetitive Low-level Blast Exposure in Mice. [PDF]
J Vis ExpExposure to explosive blasts is a significant risk factor for brain trauma among exposed persons. Although the effects of large blasts on the brain are well understood, the effects of smaller blasts such as those that occur during military training are less understood.

Functional and Structural Neuroimaging Correlates of Repetitive Low-Level Blast Exposure in Career Breachers. [PDF]
J Neurotrauma, 2020 Combat military and civilian law enforcement personnel may be exposed to repetitive low-intensity blast events during training and operations. Persons who use explosives to gain entry (i.e., breach) into buildings are known as "breachers" or dynamic entry personnel. Breachers operate under the guidance of established safety protocols, but despite these
