Our data suggests that this gene was down-regulated in all treated worms (Additional file Additional file 3: Table S3(a)), implying that exposures to explosives had weakened the innate immune system in E. fetida, consistent with our earlier findings [ 10].
European kids were getting their first exposure to explosive performances by Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Eddie Cochran.
Previously, we also created a 4K-cDNA microarray to profile gene expression in E. fetida as differentially affected by exposure to explosive compounds [28], [29].
Most military-related TBI comes from exposure to explosive blast; blast TBI accounts for approximately 60% of military-related TBI, of which 80% is mTBI [ 3].
Table 2 shows the pooled MRSI data for 12 subjects with PTSD but no exposure to explosive blast and the 20 controls.
Mohamed is still at risk of exposure to explosive remnants of war on his way to school or in the courtyard.
The hippocampus of 25 veterans with explosive blast mTBI, 20 controls, and 12 subjects with PTSD but without exposure to explosive blast were studied using MRSI at 7 Tesla.
Of interest, two of the five veterans died from spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage several years after exposure to explosive blast, one died secondary to rupture of a giant basilar aneurysm, and the other died of intraventricular hemorrhage.
Military service (including, but not limited to, combat exposure to blast and other explosions as well as non-combat exposure to explosives or to combatant or breach training).
The subjects were excluded if they had a family history of hearing loss or histories of the diseases such as otitis, other otological diseases, head injury, exposure to explosives, or ototoxic drug administration.
