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.

The Neurovascular Unit as a Locus of Injury in Low-Level Blast-Induced Neurotrauma. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Blast-induced neurotrauma has received much attention over the past decade. Vascular injury occurs early following blast exposure. Indeed, in animal models that approximate human mild traumatic brain injury or subclinical blast exposure, vascular pathology can occur in the presence of a normal neuropil, suggesting that the vasculature is particularly ...

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.

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.

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

High Angular Resolution Observations of Four Candidate BLAST High-Mass Starless Cores [PDF]

, 2010
We discuss high-angular resolution observations of ammonia toward four candidate high-mass starless cores (HMSCs). The cores were identified by the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) during its 2005 survey of the Vulpecula ...

Modeling Gamma-Ray Burst X-Ray Flares within the Internal Shock Model [PDF]

, 2009
X-ray afterglow light curves have been collected for over 400 Swift gamma-ray bursts with nearly half of them having X-ray flares superimposed on the regular afterglow decay.

Could the GRB-Supernovae GRB 031203 and XRF 060218 be Cosmic Twins? [PDF]

, 2010
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) / X-ray flash (XRF) events GRB 031203, discovered by INTEGRAL, and XRF 060218, discovered by Swift, represent two of only five GRB-SNe with optical spectroscopic confirmation of their SN components.
