OBJECTIVE To identify the injury patterns in the spine caused by under-vehicle blast, and attempt to derive the mechanism of those injuries. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The Improvised Explosive Device has been a feature of recent conflicts with frequent attacks on vehicles, leading to devastating injuries. Vehicle design...
متن کاملBlast mines: physics, injury mechanisms and vehicle protection.
Since World War II, more vehicles have been lost to land mines than all other threats combined. Anti-vehicular (AV) mines are capable of disabling a heavy vehicle, or completely destroying a lighter vehicle. The most common form of AV mine is the blast mine, which uses a large amount of explosive to directly damage the target. In a conventional military setting, landmines are used as a defensiv...
متن کاملBlast Brain Injury: Quantifying Axonal Injury Due to Primary Blast
This review includes a study of the cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) by Group A Streptococci (GAS), the existing treatment of the infection, and the proposal of a novel therapy. The purpose of this review is to determine the microbiology and pathogenesis of NF in addition to how the treatment may be modified to best target the infecting pathogens. Existing treatments include rapid surgical d...
متن کاملBlast injury research models.
Blast injuries are an increasing problem in both military and civilian practice. Primary blast injury to the lungs (blast lung) is found in a clinically significant proportion of casualties from explosions even in an open environment, and in a high proportion of severely injured casualties following explosions in confined spaces. Blast casualties also commonly suffer secondary and tertiary blas...
متن کاملAbdominal trauma in primary blast injury.
BACKGROUND Blast injury is uncommon, and remains poorly understood by most clinicians outside regions of active warfare. Primary blast injury (PBI) results from the interaction of the blast wave with the body, and typically affects gas-containing organs such as the ear, lungs and gastrointestinal tract. This review investigates the mechanisms and injuries sustained to the abdomen following blas...
