The scientists compared that
tissue with brain
tissue samples from three young amateur American football players and a professional wrestler, all of whom had a history of repetitive concussive
injury, and with four samples from comparably aged control subjects with no history of
blast exposure, concussive
injury or neurological disease.
The discussion also covers the management of common long - term complications such as heterotopic ossification, in which solid masses of bone begin growing inappropriately within soft
tissues near
blast injury sites, and the formation of blood clots in the extremities and lungs, which occurs at a high rate in DCBI survivors.
There are four types of
blast trauma
injury: 1) primary
injury caused directly by the pressure wave, which can travel through
tissue at velocities close to that of sound in water, 2) secondary
injury caused by objects put in motion by the
blast, 3) tertiary
injury caused by an individual thrown into motion by the
blast and hitting surrounding objects, and 4) quaternary
injury caused by burns, explosion - related
injuries, illnesses and diseases not attributed to the other three
blast trauma types.
«Another area of application for this framework would be the simulation of
tissue injuries caused by extreme events such as
blasts, car crashes and sport collisions.»
Our discovery that xenon reduces
blast - induced
injury in mouse brain
tissue is very encouraging, and will prompt further research in this area.»
Other projects that use stem cells include the development of cell therapies to improve functional recovery after compartment syndrome, a condition associated with
blast injuries that can cause
tissue death and amputation.
