...Cloward used a small suction tube to remove bits of debris, then trimmed off all injured tissue with a knife. If the pieces of metal were close to the surface, they were removed; if small and deeply embedded, they were allowed to remain in the brain, for fear of increasing damage by operation.

...Says Dr. Miller, detonation of bombs often causes definite brain injury in persons near by. But today, instead of shell shock, doctors call it blast concussion.
