Blast Brain Injury: Quantifying Axonal Injury Due to Primary Blast
This review includes a study of the cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) by Group A Streptococci (GAS), the existing treatment of the infection, and the proposal of a novel therapy. The purpose of this review is to determine the microbiology and pathogenesis of NF in addition to how the treatment may be modified to best target the infecting pathogens. Existing treatments include rapid surgical d...
متن کاملBlast-induced biomechanical loading of the rat: an experimental and anatomically accurate computational blast injury model.
Blast waves generated by improvised explosive devices (IEDs) cause traumatic brain injury (TBI) in soldiers and civilians. In vivo animal models that use shock tubes are extensively used in laboratories to simulate field conditions, to identify mechanisms of injury, and to develop injury thresholds. In this article, we place rats in different locations along the length of the shock tube (i.e., ...
متن کاملBlast injury research models.
Blast injuries are an increasing problem in both military and civilian practice. Primary blast injury to the lungs (blast lung) is found in a clinically significant proportion of casualties from explosions even in an open environment, and in a high proportion of severely injured casualties following explosions in confined spaces. Blast casualties also commonly suffer secondary and tertiary blas...
متن کاملEffect of Aspirin on Spinal Cord Injury: An Experimental Study
Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, peroxyl radical scavenger, and antioxidant agent that inhibits phospholipases, nitric oxide synthetases, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. The existing literature contains no studies on the effects of various doses of aspirin on spinal cord injury (SCI). Therefore, we sought to investigate the putative effects of aspirin on experimental SCI.The weight-drop injury...
متن کاملA case study of blast eye injury at work place
This case report aims at investigating whether two consecutive surgical settings would be beneficial in achieving postoperative success for the patient with blast eye injury. A 45-year-old male patient admitted on 17(th) October 2011 with history of blast eye injury. Right eye examination revealed central corneal laceration with incarceration of lens matter, multiple foreign bodies also seen em...
