Complex Assessment of Combat Neurotrauma

Combat-related blast-induced neurotrauma: a public health problem?

The purpose of this article is to raise nurses' awareness of the significance and potential public health impact of combat-related blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) in U.S. troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. A comprehensive review of the current literature on BINT was completed by the author, based primarily on combat-related blast exposure in the military population. She found that it ...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Cerebral Blood Flow in Experimental and Clinical Neurotrauma: Quantitative Assessment

Scaling in Blast Neurotrauma

The high incidence of blast exposure on today’s battlefield has been strongly associated with traumatic brain injuries. Anecdotal evidence of prolonged apnea following blast exposure has been observed in military personnel and is commonly reproduced in animal neurotrauma models. Animal models have shown that apnea tolerance is both dose and species-dependent; important factors include primary b...
