Innovative Platform Design for In Vitro Primary Blast Injury Research
One of the principal challenges of primary blast injury research is imitation of shock waves accurately and consistently in a safe and tunable platform. Existing simulators have been effective in these goals but have not been conducive for in vitro models due to their large size and air-mediated …

Biomechanical Responses and Functional Outcomes in Large Animal and Human Surrogate Models of Primary Blast Injury
… over the past century has led to a rise in blast traumatic brain injuries (bTBIs), particularly among military personnel. More than 515,000 servicemembers have been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) since the year 2000, and blast was reported to be the most common cause of TBI in …

Ultrastructural damages in the brain induced by low-intensity primary blast wave : a transmission electron microscopy study on mild traumatic brain injury
… AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Explosive blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a "signature wound" of recent military conflicts, commonly affects Service Members. While past blast injury studies have provided insights into TBI with moderate-to high-intensity explosions, the …

Effect of endplate on the blast wave profile in a compressed gas shock tube
Blast related brain injuries are commonly encountered in the recent wars of Iraq and Afghanistan increased use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). An estimated 20% of veterans returning from these operations have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The mechanisms and long-term effects of …

Effects of Mild Blast Traumatic Brain Injury on Cerebral Vascular Function, Histopathological and Behavioral Outcomes in Rats
Impact traumatic brain injury (i.e. non-blast TBI) is often associated with reduced cerebral perfusion and impaired cerebrovascular function due, in part, to the generation of reactive oxygen (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) (e.g. peroxynitrite, ONOO‾). Although blast TBI (bTBI) also …
