Transverse Fracture of the Stapes Anterior Crus Caused by the Blast Pressure from a Land Mine Explosion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stapes fractures without other ossicle problems are rare and ossicle problems due to explosion pressure are also rare. We describe a very rare case of stapes anterior crural fracture resulting from a land mine explosion. As this case suggests, a close examination of the ossicles is necessary during an exploration tympanotomy.

Discrete element modeling of explosion-induced fracture extension in jointed rock masses
The explosion process of explosives in a borehole applies a very high pressure on its surrounding rock media. This process can initiate and propagate rock fractures, and finally, may result in the rock fragmentation. Rock fragmentation is mainly caused by the propagation of inherent pre-existing fractures of the rock mass and also from the extension of the newly formed cracks within the intact ...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of the domino effects of the explosion caused by the CNG fuel station using consequence modeling and GIS
Introduction: compressed natural gas stations are one of the most critical and dangerous urban land uses and should be highly regarded. The domino effects of accidents are essential concepts in urban areas. The present study aims to analyze explosive domino accidents at compressed natural gas stations (CNG). Modeling the consequence in fuel stations can minimize the likelihood of a crisis and l...

The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the auditory ossicles inhamster. Twenty temporal bones from 10 adult hamsters, weighing 275-300 g were used. After dissectingthem, the features of the ossicles were assessed with an ocular micrometer and photographed by astereomicroscope. Finally, all data were evaluated and analysed using the Sigma Statt software. T...
متن کاملStudying Peak Particle Velocity Due to Blast in Development Tunnels’ Face in Coal Stoping
The impact of blast-driven shocks on the safety and stability of the underground coal mines has been well established. The seismic imperfections resulting from blasting depend on the total explosive energy released during blasting and the closeness of the development tunnel face to the stope face. Also, the quality of the rock mass wherein the whole stope face is located might pose considerable...
متن کاملEffects of Blast Vibration on Unplanned Dilution in an Underground Metal Mine
One of the factors affecting overbreak or slough of the roof and walls of underground stopes, causing unplanned dilution is blast vibration. The amount of damage caused by earth vibration can be measured in terms of peak particle velocity (PPV). In this study, in order to investigate the effects of blast vibration on the occurrence of unplanned dilution, 72 three-component records acquired upon...
