A Distinct Metabolite Signature in Military Personnel Exposed to Repetitive Low-Level Blasts [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Military Breachers and Range Staff (MBRS) are subjected to repeated sub-concussive blasts, and they often report symptoms that are consistent with a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Biomarkers of blast injury would potentially aid blast injury diagnosis, surveillance and avoidance.

Repeated Low-Level Blast Exposure: A Descriptive Human Subjects Study [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2016
The relationship between repeated exposure to blast overpressure and neurological function was examined in the context of breacher training at the U.S. Marine Corps Weapons Training Battalion Dynamic Entry School. During this training, Students are taught to apply explosive charges to achieve rapid ingress into secured buildings.

Low-Level Primary Blast Induces Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Rats [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2019
AbstractObjectiveMild blast traumatic brain injury is commonly prevalent in modern combat casualty care and has been associated with the development of neurodegenerative conditions. However, whether primary lower level blast overpressure (LBOP) causes neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation remains largely unknown.

Perspectives on Development of Measures to Estimate Career Blast Exposure History in Service Members and Veterans

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
The Department of Defense (DOD) has recently prioritized the investigation of the acute and chronic adverse brain health and performance effects of low-level blast (LLB) generated by the use of weapons systems.

Shocked by GRB 970228: the afterglow of a cosmological fireball [PDF]

, 1997
The location accuracy of the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras and acute ground-based followup have led to the detection of a decaying afterglow in X rays and optical light following the classical gamma-ray burst GRB 970228. The afterglow in X rays and optical

Overpressure Exposure From .50-Caliber Rifle Training Is Associated With Increased Amyloid Beta Peptides in Serum

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: Overpressure (OP) is an increase in air pressure above normal atmospheric levels. Military personnel are repeatedly exposed to low levels of OP caused by various weapon systems.

Amelioration of Acute Sequelae of Blast Induced Mild Traumatic Brain Injury by N-Acetyl Cysteine: A Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) secondary to blast exposure is the most common battlefield injury in Southwest Asia. There has been little prospective work in the combat setting to test the efficacy of new countermeasures. The goal of this

Pulmonary Biochemical and Histological Alterations after Repeated Low-Level Blast Overpressure Exposures [PDF]

Toxicological Sciences, 2006
Blast overpressure (BOP), also known as high energy impulse noise, is a damaging outcome of explosive detonations and firing of weapons. Exposure to BOP shock waves alone results in injury predominantly to the hollow organ systems such as auditory, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems. In recent years, the hazards of BOP that once were confined to
