Although blast-induced Traumatic Brain Injury (bTBI) has become a signature wound of
conflict, its cause is not yet fully understood. Regarding primary blast injuries, ie, those …

Cerebral vascular injury as a consequence of blast-induced traumatic brain injury is
primarily the result of blast wave-induced mechanical disruptions within the neurovascular …

Blast-induced neurotrauma has received much attention over the past decade. Vascular
injury occurs early following blast exposure. Indeed, in animal models that approximate …

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

The glycocalyx is a proteoglycan–glycoprotein structure lining the luminal surface of the
vascular endothelium and is susceptible to damage due to blast overpressure (BOP) …

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 …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) has been suggested to be caused by direct head
exposure and by torso exposure to a shock wave (thoracic hypotheses). It is unclear …

Blast-induced shock waves (BSWs) are responsible for several aspects of psychiatric
disorders that are collectively termed mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The …

Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is a rising health concern of soldiers deployed in
modern-day military conflicts. For bTBI, blast wave loading is a cause, and damage incurred …
