Novel intracranial brain cooling catheter to mitigate brain injuries.
BACKGROUND The neuroprotective effects of cooling the spinal cord in a sheep model by a self-contained intrathecal catheter was reported recently by the authors. The present study was designed to determine if cooling catheters in the lateral ventricles of the brain can effectively cool the CSF and thereby reduce brain temperature while maintaining systemic normothermia. METHODS The cooling ca...
متن کاملSoft tissue infection after missile injuries to the extremities. A non-randomized, prospective study in Gaza City.
INTRODUCTION Patients with soft tissue injuries caused by missile attacks during wartime have been treated with radical debridement and delayed closure. In a study in Gaza City, the rate of infection of missile injuries to the extremities when treated with minimal surgical intervention, was measured. METHODS Patients with severe soft tissue damage, compound fractures, and injuries to major bl...
متن کاملEditorial comment: soft tissue infection after missile injuries to the extremities--a non-randomized, prospective study in Gaza City.
In the last decade, hundreds of civilians and soldiers died, and thousands were wounded due to numerous terrorist attacks in Israel. 1–3 This conflict led to prolonged , low-intensity damage to people and property, which is different than a total war. In the military literature, this is called low-intensity conflict. Low-intensity conflict is not peace and it is not war—the severity and distrib...
متن کاملThe Effects of Estrogen Receptors' Antagonist on Brain Edema, Intracranial Pressure and Neurological Outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury in Rat
Background: In previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. This study used ICI 182,780, a non-selective estrogen receptor antagonist, to test the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the estrogen receptors. Methods: The ovariectomized rats were divided into...
متن کاملPenetrating missile injuries of the brachial plexus.
We studied a consecutive series of 58 patients with penetrating missile injuries of the brachial plexus to establish the indications for exploration and review the results of operation. At a mean of 17 weeks after the initial injury, 51 patients were operated on for known or suspected vascular injury (16), severe persistent pain (35) or complete loss of function in the distribution of one or mo...
