mental trauma experienced by caregivers of patients with diffuse axonal injury or severe traumatic brain injury
conclusions a long-term longitudinal study encompassing integrated research is needed to fully understand the traumatic experiences of caregivers. unless research on tbi or dai trauma is given its proper attention, the burden of trauma and injury on societies will continue to exacerbate globally. context as with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic bra...
متن کاملMechanically Induced Diffuse Axonal Injury: Brain Injury Due to Periodic and Indicial Traumatic Events
Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is the predominant mechanism of traumatic brain injury (TBI) after sudden periodic and impulsive events. It is common in all TBI, regardless of severity, and is characterized by a shear action induced on axons by surrounding tissue. DAI leads to progressive changes that may ultimately lead to the loss of connections between nerve cells. The slow progression of events...
متن کاملevaluation of the effect of glibenclamide in patients with diffuse axonal injury due to moderate to severe head trauma
objectives we aim to evaluate the role of glibenclamide on the short-term outcome of patients with dai due to moderate to severe tbi. patients and methods in this controlled randomized clinical trial, 40 patients with moderate to severe tbi were assigned to glibenclamide (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. six hours after admission the intervention group received 1.25 mg glibenclamide every 1...
متن کاملDiffuse Axonal Injury: Pathological and Clinical Aspects
Diffuse traumatic brain injury refers to widespread pattern of injury throughout the brain caused by traumatic disruption of nerve cells, with particular injury to the axons [1]. There are four principal types of traumatic brain injury: diffuse vascular injury, diffuse axonal injury, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and diffuse brain swelling [2]. Clinically, DAI is characterized by generalized ...
متن کاملBlast Brain Injury: Quantifying Axonal Injury Due to Primary Blast
This review includes a study of the cause of Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF) by Group A Streptococci (GAS), the existing treatment of the infection, and the proposal of a novel therapy. The purpose of this review is to determine the microbiology and pathogenesis of NF in addition to how the treatment may be modified to best target the infecting pathogens. Existing treatments include rapid surgical d...
