Abstract Large mining blasts can complicate the identification and discrimination of small underground nuclear explosions and may offer evasion opportunities. Mining blasts typically show a unique spectral signature: spectral reinforcements associated with time-delayed detonations between adjacent shot holes or rows of shots. Discrimination of a nuclear detonation that is simultaneous with a mining blast must depend upon recognizing significant spectral or waveform abnormalities within seismic signals from the mining blasts.

Abstract:
7053 Background: The revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) aids in prognosticating MDS. The percentage (%) of blasts in the bone marrow is one of the major determinants of the scoring system. The aspirate blast % is utilized as the standard of care, but there could be discrepancies in the blast % reported by the aspirate and the biopsy. We aim to study the possible use of bone marrow biopsy blasts in MDS-EB in calculating IPSS-R. Methods: The MDS database was reviewed for cases of MDS-EB after due IRB approval. We calculated IPSS-R scores based on the aspirate blast % (IPSS-

Abstract:
A new approach to determine the most efficient blast design was proposed, taking the peak particle velocity (PPV) as the main constraint, while including costs, production, granulometry, air blast and carbon footprint as relevant characteristics. The research was based on a case study that registered and analyzed 548 blasts over more than 10 years, while the vibration of the blast was recorded in 32% of them. A general attenuation law and several local laws were determined based on the geological conditions of the quarry. The blast design improvement allowed one to reduce the specific consumpt

Abstract The neuropathology of mild traumatic brain injury in humans resulting from exposure to explosive blast is poorly understood as this condition is rarely fatal. A large animal model may better reflect the injury patterns in humans. We investigated the effect of explosive blasts on the constrained head minimizing the effects of whole head motion. Anesthetized Yucatan minipigs, with body and head restrained, were placed in a 3-walled test structure and exposed to 1, 2, or 3 explosive blast shock waves of the same intensity.

Standard of care is induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine also known as 7 + 3. Bone marrow aspirates are assessed on day 14 (D14) and day 28 (D28). Achievement of CR (complete remission) is predicative of overall survival (OS ).Morphological review of BM (bone marrow) on D14 remains the standard evaluation for any indication for CR.

Abstract Background: In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a rapid decline of circulating blasts in response to induction chemotherapy or prednisone is one of the most important prognostic factors for achieving remission and for relapse-free survival (RFS). However, in AML parameters of chemosensitivity have been restricted to the assessment of residual bone marrow (BM) blasts during aplasia. We hypothesized that time to peripheral blood (PB) blast clearance would have prognostic relevance with respect to RFS in AML. Methods: From 1994 to 2006 outcomes of 86 adults (47 males; median

Abstract Purpose: Recent studies have shown that dose escalation of daunorubicin from 45mg/m2 to 90mg/m2 during acute myeloid leukemia (AML) induction showed response benefit and overall survival in patients <=65 years. Yet, the further management of patients with persistent disease based on the evaluation of D14 bone marrow has often been questioned due to lack of data. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall remission rates of patients with a positive D14 bone marrow compared with those who had a negative D14 results, and to determine if blast % on the D14 bone marrow

This paper is concerned with the assessment of community response to sonic booms or blasts. It summarizes and analyzes the totality of results from studies in the English language that used real booms or blasts, with subjects in real buildings. In acoustics, we are accustomed to noise sources operating in accordance with the equal-energy principle (a 1 dB increase in amplitude is equivalent to a 1 dB increase in duration). The results show that rattles are the most important attribute contributing to the annoyance engendered by sonic booms/blasts, and that the process is not equal-energy. Rath

Abstract: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm driven by the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene and typically progresses through chronic, accelerated, and blast crisis phases. While blast crises often present with myeloid or lymphoid phenotypes, transformation to acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) is exceedingly rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We describe a 41-year-old female with CML whose disease transformed to AUL during blast crisis. Initially treated with imatinib, therapy was discontinued due to loss of response, followed by a brief,

Abstract An accurate blast count is pivotal in the diagnosis, classification and prognosis of patients with myelodysplasia. Blast counts in all previous classification schemes are based on morphologic assessment of marrow aspirates with a poor correlation to blast counts determined by flow cytometry. A significant problem in blast enumeration by flow cytometry is the variable hemodilution of the marrow during collection for flow cytometric analysis. Blast counts can vary depending on which aspirate tube is used for flow analysis, e.g., 2.4%, 1st 5ml tube; 0.62%, 2nd 5ml tube; 0.58% 3rd 5ml tub
