Concussive brain injury from explosive blast
OBJECTIVE Explosive blast mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is associated with a variety of symptoms including memory impairment and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Explosive shock waves can cause hippocampal injury in a large animal model. We recently reported a method for detecting brain injury in soldiers with explosive blast mTBI using magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI)....
متن کاملExplosive blast neurotrauma.
Explosive blast traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the more serious wounds suffered by United States service members injured in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some military medical treatments for blast TBI that have been introduced successfully in the war theater include decompressive craniectomy, cerebral angiography, transcranial Doppler, hypertonic resuscitation fluids, a...
متن کاملBlast Resistant Design of Explosive Containment Chamber
Hypervelocity projectile rail guns require instantaneous electrical switching of extremely high energies. To achieve the necessary switching speed, cord explosives are used to drive strips or slats out of aluminum switch plates creating precise gaps which allow the electrical energy to arc. This paper describes the dynamic design of aluminum containment vessels for the explosive switches. The s...
متن کاملControlled blast exposure during forced explosive entry training and mild traumatic brain injury.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data regarding the pathophysiology and short- and long-term neurologic consequences of primary blast injury in humans. The purpose of this investigation was to test the feasibility of implementing a research protocol in the context of a forced explosive entry training course. METHODS Instructors (n = 4) and students (n = 10) completing the Police Explosives Te...
