Disease relevance of Blast Injuries

 

High impact information on Blast Injuries

  • Using the HACS data, the numbers of injuries due to overpressure (primary blast injury), missiles energized by the blast (secondary injury), displacement of the victim by the blast wind (tertiary injury) and flash burn can be determined [3].
  • Predictors of mortality in close proximity blast injuries during Operation Iraqi Freedom [4].
  • Pulmonary blast injury increases nitric oxide production, disturbs arginine metabolism, and alters the plasma free amino acid pool in rabbits during the early posttraumatic period [5].
  • Plasma nitrate + nitrite (nitrates), as final NO products, and free amino acid pool (FAAP) characteristics, as indicators of protein/amino acid metabolism, were analyzed in the early (30 min) period following blast injury [5].
  • SETTING: Pulmonary function test laboratory at Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem. PARTICIPANTS: Eleven surviving victims of a blast injury sustained during a bus terrorist explosion [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Blast Injuries

 

Biological context of Blast Injuries

 

Gene context of Blast Injuries

  • METHODS: Retrospective analysis included 134 patients with pure sensorineural hearing loss after blast injury (a total of 192 injuries), who were treated between 1991 and 1995 [11].
  • The pathophysiology of primary blast injury and its implications for treatment. Part II: The auditory structures and abdomen [12].
  • An adult male injured in a landmine explosion presented with the classic triad of primary, secondary and tertiary blast injuries [13].
  • The Blast Injuries of the Ear Seminar was conducted to better define the state of knowledge about the medical care and consequences of blast injuries of the ear in battle [14].
