Regenerated rat skeletal muscle after periodic contusions.

In the present study we evaluated the morphological aspect and changes in the area and incidence of muscle fiber types of long-term regenerated rat tibialis anterior (TA) muscle previously submitted to periodic contusions. Animals received eight consecutive traumas: one trauma per week, for eight weeks, and were evaluated one (N = 8) and four (N = 9) months after the last contusion. Serial cros...

Grading of Brain Contusions by Modified Method: An Autopsy Study

Quantification and analysis of brain contusion was initially done in 1970’s followed by 2005. They derived brain contusion index based on parenchymal depth and surface distribution of contusion over brain. We conducted this study with the objectives of whether severity of contusion index determines Post trauma survival, is there a region specific contusion which determines Post trauma survival ...
