Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with both acute and delayed neuro- logical injury. Cerebral vasospasm is commonly associated with delayed neurological decline in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. However, the role played by vasospasm in traumatic brain injury is less clear. Vasospasm occurs earlier, for a shorter duration, and often without significant neurological conseq...

objectives: to describe the executive function of patients with traumatic injury admitted to rajaei hospital, shiraz, iran and to compare the executive function between normal individuals and those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd). methods: this was a case control study being performed during a 6-month period during spring and summer of 2013 in shiraz level i trauma center. ...

introduction: this study was designed to investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) administration in rats for 6 weeks after traumatic brain injury (tbi). methods: adult male wistar rats (n = 30) were injured with controlled cortical impact device and divided into four groups. the treatment groups (n = 10 each) were injected subcutaneously with recombinant human g-...

Abstract Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global public health burden. Although neurogenesis occurs post-injury, achieving long term survival of newly generated neurons remains elusive. High Mobility Group Box protein 1 (HMGB1) pivotal cytokine in hosting the neuro-inflammatory response to injury, but also mediates during physiological development. In this review, we examine curre...

STUDY OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the prevalence of traumatic brain injuries in children who vomit after minor blunt head trauma, particularly when the vomiting occurs without other findings suggestive of traumatic brain injury (ie, isolated vomiting). We also aimed to determine the relationship between the timing and degree of vomiting and traumatic brain injury prevalence. METHODS This ...

BACKGROUND Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have been frequently used to explore changes in motor cortex excitability in stroke and traumatic brain injury, while the extent of motor cortex reorganization in patients with diffuse non-traumatic brain injury remains largely unknown. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS It was hypothesized that the motor cortex excitability would be decreased and would co...

Current states of traumatic eye injury are reviewed in terms of epidemiology in the developing countries and developed countries, causes of the trauma, eye injury types, traumatic eye injury diagnostic methods and treatments. Trauma-caused vision-threatening conditions such as open global injury, traumatic optic neuropathy and proliferative vitreoretinopathy are particularly discussed. Also the...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to describe the hospital-based incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury in Tehran, Iran. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of traumatic spinal cord injury patients, admitted between March 2010 and July 2011 in 61/68 hospitals of Tehran. RESULTS Overall, 138 cases of traumatic spinal cord injury were identified. The majority of pa...

The great majority of acute brain injury results from trauma or from disorders of the cerebrovasculature, i.e. ischaemic stroke or haemorrhage. These injuries are characterized by an initial insult that triggers a cascade of injurious cellular processes. The nature of these processes in spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage is poorly understood. Subarachnoid haemorrhage, a particularly deadly fo...
