“…This animal is utilized due to its morphological similarities to humans [4] and the experience that has been acquired with the use of pigs in the cardiovascular field [39]. The advantage of using a living model is that it allows physiological and pathophysiological data obtained during impact to be studied and recorded [4,16,40,41]. However, it is possible that the anesthesia-required for ethical reasons-alters the compensatory physiological responses of the animal, thus distorting the results or at the very least the conclusions of the study [27].…”

The introduction of firearms in the fifteenth century led to the continuous development of bulletproof personal protection. Due to recent industrial progress and the emergence of a new generation of ballistic fibers in the 1960s, the ability of individual ballistic protections to stop projectiles greatly increased. While protective equipment is able to stop increasingly powerful missiles, deformation during the impact can cause potentially lethal nonpenetrating injuries that are grouped under the generic term of behind armor blunt trauma, and the scope and consequences of these are still unclear. This review first summarizes current technical data for modern bulletproof vests, the materials used in them, and the stopping mechanisms they employ. Then it describes recent research into the specific ballistic injury patterns of soldiers wearing body armor, focusing on behind-armor blunt trauma.

“…Sondé n et al [12] used Swedish landrace pigs, protected by a ceramid/aramid body armor which were shot with a standard 7.62-mm assault rifle; morphological injuries, cardiorespiratory and electroencephalogram changes as well as physical parameters were registered. Additional references include: [3,13]. Cooper and Maynard [9] studied impacts to the lateral thoracic wall (TW) of anaesthetized pigs with a 37 mm PVC cylinder in the range 68-220 J.…”

“…19,20,78,96,100 There are few reports of lesions of strangulation in the veterinary pathology literature (Table 2). 24,55,77,83 The ligature mark is the most relevant lesion in hanging and ligature strangulation, 4,38,121 although it may be absent depending on the type of ligature used, the duration, and the characteristics of the animals' fur. 83 The ligature should be described and photographed in situ (Figs.…”

Nondrowning Asphyxia in Veterinary Forensic Pathology

Asphyxia in a forensic context refers to death by rapid cerebral anoxia or hypoxia due to accidental or nonaccidental injury. Death due to nondrowning asphyxia can occur with strangulation, suffocation, and mechanical asphyxia, each of which is categorized based on the mechanism of injury. Individuals dying due to various types of asphyxia may or may not have lesions, and even those lesions that are present may be due to other causes. The interpretation or opinion that death was due to asphyxia requires definitive and compelling evidence from the postmortem examination, death scene, and/or history. Beyond the postmortem examination, pathologists may be faced with questions of forensic importance that revolve around the behavioral and physiological responses in animals subjected to strangulation, suffocation, or mechanical asphyxia to determine if the animal suffered. While there is no prescriptive answer to these questions, it is apparent that, because of physiological and anatomical differences between humans and animals, for some mechanisms of asphyxia, consciousness is maintained for longer periods and the onset of death is later in animals than that described for people. Veterinary pathologists must be cognizant that direct extrapolation from the medical forensic literature to animals may be incorrect. This article reviews the terminology, classification, mechanisms, and lesions associated with asphyxial deaths in companion animals and highlights significant comparative differences of the response to various types of asphyxia in animals and people.

Electroencephalogram, Circulation, and Lung Function After High-Velocity Behind Armor Blunt Trauma

Abstract: The results in our animal model indicate that high-velocity BABT induce circulatory and respiratory dysfunction, and in some cases even transient cerebral functional disturbances.
