It's All About The Blast
Blast explosions have been the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in military
personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to being the primary cause of
traumatic burns and amputations, blast exposure is the primary cause of combat-related
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
This presentation will review the symptomatology, etiology, and epidemiology of PTSD and
TBI after blast exposure. It will also review the research opportunities at UTHSCSA and
UTSA to examine the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, and treatment of PTSD and TBI in
military service members and veterans.
