Evaluation of Eye Injury Risk from Consumer Fireworks
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
Eye injuries affect approximately two million people annually. Various experimental studies have been performed to evaluate potentially injurious conditions from blunt objects using animal and human cadaver eyes. Experimental ...
Literature Review of Eye Injuries and Eye Injury Risk from Blunt Objects
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
Eye injuries affect approximately two million people annually. Various studies that have evaluated the injury tolerance of animal and human eyes from blunt impacts are summarized herein. These studies date from the late ...
Predicting Mild Traumatic Brain Injury with Injury Risk Functions
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
To assess the safety of various products, equipment, and vehicles during traumatic events injury risk curves have been developed correlate measurable parameters with risk of injury. The first risk curves to predict head ...
Measuring Head Impact Exposure and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Humans
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
Helmeted sports such as football offer a unique opportunity to study head injury biomechanics in live human subjects. Impact reconstruction using game videos and real-time measurements of head kinematics in football provide ...
Surrogate Head Forms for the Evaluation of Head Injury Risk
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
This paper summarizes the use of surrogate head forms in biomechanical research pertaining to head injury and, more specifically, mild traumatic brain injury. Because cadavers are limited and controlled studies of brain ...
Blasted Flies and Nanoparticles for TBI
(Brain Injuries and Biomechanics Symposium, 2013-09-19)
This presentation briefly summaries two major areas of work in our lab, development of a Drosophila model of blast injury and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with cerium oxide nanoparticles. First, we discuss the ...
