DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.08.019
Abstract: Blast injuries include the various types of internal and external trauma caused by the impact force of high-speed blast waves with multiple mechanisms involved. Thoracic blast exposure could induce neurotrauma as well, but effective therapies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2020.117049
Abstract: Mounting evidence points to the significance of neurovascular-related dysfunction in veterans with blast-related mTBI, which is also associated with reduced [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. The goal of this study was to determine whether plasma VEGF-A is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2021.09.021
Abstract: Blast exposure is common among service members, but the chronic psychiatric effects associated with blast exposure are not well-characterized independent of a resulting mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). This analysis evaluated whether blast exposure severity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s1355617720001034
Abstract: Abstract Objectives: Recent studies suggest that close-range blast exposure (CBE), regardless of acute concussive symptoms, may have negative long-term effects on brain health and cognition; however, these effects are highly variable across individuals. One potential… read more here.

Blast Exposure Impairs Sensory Gating: Evidence from Measures of Acoustic Startle and Auditory Event-Related Potentials
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Neurotrauma"
DOI: 10.1089/neu.2018.5801
Abstract: Abstract Many military service members and veterans who have been exposed to high-intensity blast waves experience traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting in chronic auditory deficits despite normal hearing sensitivity. The current study sought to examine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/neu.2019.6742
Abstract: Injuries from exposure to explosions rose dramatically during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, which motivated investigations of blast-related neurotrauma and operational breaching. In this study, military “breachers” were exposed to controlled, low-level blast during a… read more here.
