Methodological considerations in longitudinal morphometry of traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has recently been reconceptualized as a chronic, evolving disease process. This new view necessitates quantitative assessment of post-injury changes in brain structure that may allow more accurate monitoring and prediction of recovery. In particular, TBI is known to trigger neurodegenerative processes and therefore quantifying progression of diffuse atrophy over tim...
متن کاملNutrition considerations in traumatic brain injury.
The provision of adequate nutrition support for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been a clinical challenge for decades. The primary and secondary injuries create unique metabolic derangements along with accompanying issues such as optimal timing and route of nutrition, appropriate fluid and electrolytes, drug administration, rehabilitation, and dysphagia. Enteral nutrition is clea...
متن کاملBehavioral Considerations in Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation
Although head injured individuals as a group display heterogeneous deficits, taken alone, each of these deficits (i.e., social skills deficits, motoric impairment, etc.) can be found in other populations that have been treated successfully using behavioral techniques. Behavioral approaches, for example, have: (a) improved muscle and upper extremity strength, (b) reduced spasticity, and (c ) inc...
متن کاملBrain morphometry changes and depressive symptoms after traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms. Recent imaging studies on spontaneous depression have implicated several brain structures; however, few studies have done the same for post-TBI depression. We report on a pilot observational study correlating atrophy of brain regions of interest in subjects after TBI with depressive symptoms measured by th...
