SUMMARY:Prospects for studying how high-intensity compression waves cause 
 damage in human blast injuries - Kate Brown\, Imperial College Blast Biome
 chanics and Biophysics Group

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The use of Improvised Explosive Devices against security force
 s in the current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have resulted in severe
 ly injured casualties with complex musculoskeletal injuries. Understanding
  the damage that high intensity compression waves induce in human tissues 
 is critical for developing improved therapies for patients suffering from 
 blast injuries.  Given the inherent heterogeneities in the human body\, we
  are taking a highly integrated approach involving expertise in shock phys
 ics\, biomechanics and fundamental biology to understand the processes inv
 olved in the transfer of blast-induced shock waves through biological tiss
 ues and the subsequent damage that occurs.
