The neurological consequences of combat blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) pose
important clinical concerns for military service members and veterans. Previous studies have …

The interaction of explosion-induced blast waves with the head (ie, a direct mechanism) or
with the torso (ie, an indirect mechanism) presumably causes traumatic brain injury …

Blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) presents a serious threat to military personnel and often
results in psychiatric conditions related to limbic system dysfunction. In this study, the …

Animal studies provide valuable insights on how the interaction of blast waves with the head
may injure the brain. However, there is no acceptable methodology to scale the findings …

Blast traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a prominent military health concern. The pervasiveness
and long-term impacts of this injury highlight the need for investigation of the physiological …

Multiple finite-element (FE) models to predict the biomechanical responses in the human
brain resulting from the interaction with blast waves have established the importance of …

Free-field blast exposure imparts a complex, dynamic response within brain tissue that can
trigger a cascade of lasting neurological deficits. Full body mechanical and physiological …

Despite years of research, it is still unknown whether the interaction of explosion-induced
blast waves with the head causes injury to the human brain. One way to fill this gap is to use …

Explosions in the battlefield can result in brain damage. Research on the effects of shock
waves on brain tissue mainly focuses on the effects of single-orientation blast waves, while …

Abstract Aim/Purpose This study aimed to apply a shock wave from the ventral side of a pig
and examine its effect to use the results for new body armor production for humans. Methods …
