Head trauma from blast exposure is a growing health concern, particularly among active military personnel, and is considered the signature injury of the Gulf War. However, it remains elusive whether fundamental differences exist between blast-related Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and TBI due to other mechanisms. Considering the importance of lipid metabolism associated with neuronal membrane integrity and its compromise during TBI, we sought to find changes in lipidomic profiling during blast or blunt (Stereotaxically Controlled Contusison-SCC)-mediated TBI.

In the present study, we aim to identify the plasma-based metabolic dysregulations along with the associated temporal changes at 5-6 h, day 1 and day 7 post-injury in a preclinical animal model for blast exposure, through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Using significantly advanced metabolomic and statistical bioinformatic platforms, we were able to elucidate better and unravel the complex networks of blast-induced neurotrauma (BINT) and its interlinked systemic effects.

We aimed to assess whether there is any clinical and pathological difference among the various histological categories of PSVD.
Patients And Methods: This study included liver biopsy cases classified as PSVD (2020-2022).
Recent advancement in integrated multi-omics has significantly contributed to many areas of the biomedical field. Radiation research has also grasped uprising omics technologies in biomarker identification to aid in triage management. Herein, we have used a combinatorial multi-omics approach based on transcriptomics together with metabolomics and lipidomics of blood from murine exposed to 1 Gy (LD) and 7.
