This book was released on 1985 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blast waves are known to cause injuries to internal organs, e.g., lung, gastrointestinal tract, ear, and larynx. To explore the possibility of using body covering as a means of protection, Clemedson and Jonsson 1 covered rabbits with rigid and soft material and exposed the animals to blast waves in shock tube and free field explosion experiments. They found that the rigid material protected the animal from lung injury. The soft coverings, however, were found to produce increased loading and aggravate the lung injury. Both peak pressure and rate of pressure rise in the thorax were found to be considerably higher in their experiments. Nevertheless the underlying mechanism causing such phenomena was not explained. From these results it appears that material coverings can increase the blast loading at the body surface, which, in turn, can cause increased ITP and higher risk of blast injury. Since ITP has been correlated with the severity of blast injury, understanding of the effect of vest material on blast wave transmission, reflection, and absorption is an important step toward the design of a protecting device.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the Blast OverPressure (BOP) program is to understand the mechanisms by which biological organs are injured so that a Damage Risk Criteria (DRC) for humans can be defined in terms of blast parameters. In addition to the various experimental projects, mathematical models have been developed to understand the underlying mechanisms, correlate mechanical response and observed injury, and to provide a way to extrapolate animal experimental studies to the prediction of human exposure safety guidelines. This report documents the construction of mathematical models to study animal response to external blast. Based on sheep anatomy a simplified 16- element three-dimensional model was constructed to capture the gross body response. A refined two-dimensional model was then constructed to follow wave propagation inside the thorax and to identify locations subjected to the greatest stress. Keywords: Wounds and injuries; Blast loads; Blast waves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosion and Blast-Related Injuries is an authoritative text that brings together diverse knowledge gained from both the experience of clinicians treating blast casualties and the insights of scientists obtained from research and modeling of blast exposures. By providing information on explosion and blast injury patterns, as well as the mechanism of blast-induced injuries, it is a useful reference for both physicians and researchers. With contributions by experts from around the globe, the book covers topics such as the epidemiology of blast and explosion injury, pathology and pathophysiology, and the modeling and mechanism of injury. Finally, this book might stimulate additional studies into ways to improve our current mass casualty response systems.* Contains contributions from experts who had first hand experience dealing with explosion and blast injuries. * Provides a diverse global experience derived from both military operations and terrorist attacks in civilian settings from the US, Europe and the Middle East. * Covers such topics as epidemiology of blast and explosion injury, pathology and pathophysiology, modeling and mechanism of injury, and finally presents the global experiences of blast injury and mass casualty management.

Download or read book Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Diseases written by C.A. Nienaber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date summary of all aspects of aortic disease, written by international experts in their fields, covering diagnostic concepts of all aortic diseases, the most modern therapeutic approaches in various aortic syndromes, the pathogenic origin and the most recent molecular and cellular findings that have revolutionized our present knowledge of aortic diseases. The reader will come to understand the aorta as a functional organ with a complex regulatory system rather than just a major arterial vessel, and will have a better understanding of the prognostic impact of various aortic syndromes, and of the most recent therapeutic concepts for chronic as well as acute aortic pathology. As a unique feature of this book, the aorta is placed in the center of systemic illnesses, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension, infectious diseases and connective tissue disorders, storage diseases, trauma and toxic factors; this concept aims to attract the attention of both clinical specialties such as cardiology, radiology and cardiovascular surgery and adjacent areas like pathology and clinical genetics. The book portrays the aorta as an integral part of the cardiovascular system and the entire organism and features the complexity and clinical impact of all major aortic diseases.
Download or read book Ehlers Danlos Syndrome A Multidisciplinary Approach written by J.W.G. Jacobs and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients and practitioners. It is intended for use in daily clinical practice rather than as a reference book for research or the latest developments, and has been written to be understandable for any healthcare worker or educated patient without compromise to the scientific content. The book is organized as follows: chapters on classifications and genetics are followed by chapters on individual types, organ (system) manifestations and complications, and finally ethics and therapeutic strategies, with an appendix on surgery and the precautions which should attend it. A special effort has been made to take account of the perspective of the patient; two of the editors have EDS. The book will be of interest to patients with hypermobility syndromes and their families, as well as to all those healthcare practitioners who may encounter such syndromes in the course of their work.
