"After conducting autopsies on US combat veterans who survived improvised explosive device (IED) blasts in Iraq and Afghanistan but later died of other causes, researchers in the US found the ex-soldiers had a unique type of brain injury.
Described as a ‘distinctive honeycomb pattern of broken and swollen nerve fibres’, the injuries were not the same as those found in car crash and drug overdose victims, or sufferers of punch-drunk syndrome, which is caused by repeated blows to the head."
Now we need to find a way to identify these brain structures in living patients, and localize a way to help the heal or mitigate the issues.
Our Troops gave much and in too many cases they gave all they have.
We need to keep the faith with them as they kept it with us.
