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.

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.

A Distinct Metabolite Signature in Military Personnel Exposed to Repetitive Low-Level Blasts
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.

Low-impulse blast behaviour of fibre-metal laminates [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of the low-impulse localised blast loading response of fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) based on an 2024-O aluminium alloy and a woven glass-fibre/polypropylene composite (GFPP).
