Beanbag ballistic projectiles, as well as other Kinetic Impact Projectiles (KIPs), have been scrutinized in their role for crowd control due to the risk of blunt trauma including skull fractures, intracranial bleeds and retained beanbag components.[1]
Previous research into injury rates from KIPs shows that 15.5% of patients who presented for injuries from KIPs had permanent disabilities — typically from ocular trauma or abdominal organ trauma, which required subsequent operations. About 84.2% of patients had permanent blindness if they sustained ocular trauma. KIPs utilizing metal, including beanbag rounds, h...

Polyuria, Polydipsia and Possible Diabetes Insipidus?
Discussion
The body is smart. It has mechanisms for maintaining balances within the body in a closely controlled manner but allows for a variety of states. This is very true for fluid balance in the body which is highly controlled between almost all of the major body organ systems. When fluid is low, the sensor sends signals for us to drink, and conserves fluid until we can. When the fluid is high, the kidneys excrete the excess and sends signals not to drink. Usually it works very well. While there are many pathological states that can cause polyuria and/or polydipsia, the most common reason is excessive fluid intake beca...
