Exposure to a Predator Scent Induces Chronic Behavioral Changes in Rats Previously Exposed to Low-level Blast: Implications for the Relationship of Blast-Related TBI to PTSD [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2016 Blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) has been unfortunately common in veterans who served in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The postconcussion syndrome associated with these mTBIs has frequently appeared in combination with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The presence of PTSD has complicated diagnosis, since clinically,

Low-level blast exposure disrupts gliovascular and neurovascular connections and induces a chronic vascular pathology in rat brain [PDF]
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2019 Much concern exists over the role of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the chronic cognitive and mental health problems that develop in veterans and active duty military personnel.

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.

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.
