Research News and Information
Definition of 'Blast Injuries'Injuries resulting when a person is struck by particles impelled with violent force from an explosion. Blast causes pulmonary concussion and hemorrhage, laceration of other thoracic and abdominal viscera, ruptured ear drums, and minor effects in the central nervous system.

Humane killers, human injury: functional outcome of vole captive bolt injuries.
30 Aug 2009 
BACKGROUND: High-pressure blast injuries to the hand due to vole captive bolt devices are serious injuries that are to a great extent unknown to emergency care operators and trauma surgeons. There is no study on the functional outcome of these ... Read more...
30 May 2009 The nature of warfare in the 21st century has led to a significant increase in primary blast or over-pressurization injuries to the whole body and head, which manifest as a complex of neuro-somatic damage, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). ... Read more...
In-vitro approaches for studying blast-induced traumatic brain injury.
30 May 2009 Traumatic brain injury caused by explosive or blast events is currently divided into four phases: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary blast injury. These phases of blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) are biomechanically distinct, ... Read more...
