Injury related to blast exposure dramatically rose during post-911 era military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is among the most common injuries following blast, an exposure that may not result in a definitive physiologic marker (e.g., loss of consciousness). Recent research suggests that exposure to low level blasts and, more specifically repetitive blast exposure (RBE), which may be subconcussive in nature, may...

Expression level of non-coding (MiR-155) gene as biomarker for severity of Coronaviruses infection among vaccinated and non-vaccinated Iraqi patients
CONCLUSIONS: The miR-155 gene, overexpressed in SARS-CoV-2 patients, correlates with disease activity and severity, potentially serving as a biomarker for diagnosis and a potential therapeutic target.PMID:38517783 | DOI:10.3233/HAB-240008 (Source: Human Antibodies)
