Numerical modeling of primary thoracic trauma because of blast
Purpose: Since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. The primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the d...
متن کاملProtective effect of vitamin D on radiation-induced lung injury: Experimental evidence
Background: Vitamin D, especially its most active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃(Vit D) is essential in regulating a wide variety of biologic processes, such as regulating mesangial cell activation. The objective of this study was to assess the histopathological changes of effectiveness of Vit D as a protective agent against radiation induced lung injury. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Wi...
متن کاملPredictors of pulmonary failure following severe trauma: a trauma registry-based analysis
BACKGROUND The incidence of pulmonary failure in trauma patients is considered to be influenced by several factors such as liver injury. We intended to assess the association of various potential predictors of pulmonary failure following thoracic trauma and liver injury. METHODS Records of 12,585 trauma patients documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® of the German Trauma Society were analyzed ...
متن کاملLaceration of the lung following blunt trauma.
Laceration of the lung was found in 4-4% of cases of chest injury caused by blunt trauma admitted to two thoracic centres. Criteria for accurate diagnosis are presented. It is suggested that thoracotomy should be considered and carried out as soon as possible when the diagnosis is made. It was found that cases treated with early thoracotomy did not require any pulmonary resection. In others, la...
متن کاملTraumatic lung pseudocyst.
Traumatic lung pseudocyst is an uncommon lung injury due to closed chest trauma. Four cases are reported; all were male and one was a child. Three cases showed spontaneous resolution of the pseudocyst and in one case, where resolution was slow, lobectomy was carried out at the patient's insistence. Diagnosis poses no serious problems as there is inevitably a history of substantial chest trauma....
