Stress affects brain function, and may lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Considerable empirical data for the neurobiology of PTSD has been derived from neuroimaging studies, although findings have proven inconsistent. We used an activation likelihood estimation analysis to explore differences in brain activity between adults with and without PTSD in response to affective stimuli. W...

introduction : very severe head trauma cases, defined as glasgow coma scale (gcs) scores of less than 6, have a higher mortality rate and poorer outcome. the purpose of this study was to recognize factors associated with survival and 6-month favorable outcome of very severe head trauma patients presenting to emergency department.  methods: in this historical cohort study, the authors retrospect...

We analyzed the results of treatment 134 victims with a closed abdominal trauma liver damage. Diagnosis injuries damage to was performed in operating room, and wore complex character. Compulsory execution CT brain, patients concomitant trauma, reduced mortality rate from swelling dislocation brain at traumatic injury. In assisting used individualized diagnostic program takes into account scale ...

Background: S100B Protein is a biomarker that reflects post-trauma brain injury. In traumatic brain injury definite prediction of outcome of the patients is important goal. In this regard our study focuses on the S100B protein value in predicting brain death after head trauma. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on seventy-two patients (50 male and 22 female) aged 5-80 years (me...

Introduction: Extradural hematoma is a common pathology in our department. The natural history of small-volume usually towards resorption. In rare cases, the calcifies and compresses brain. We report an extradural 15-year-old boy who had road traffic accident on February 2011. brain CT-scan performed following day revealed small right frontal hematoma. During hospitalization, he fever 40 degree...

Early adverse life events (EALs) increase susceptibility to depression and impair cognitive performance, but the physiological mechanisms are still unclear. The target of this article is clarify impact childhood experiences on emotional performance from perspective heart–brain axis. We used Repeatable Battery for Assessment Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) test function Childhood Trauma Questi...

During brain trauma, white matter experiences shear and stretch forces that, without severing axons, nevertheless trigger their secondary degeneration. In central nervous system (CNS) trauma models, voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav) blockers are neuroprotective. This, plus the rapid tetrodotoxin-sensitive Ca2+ overload of stretch-traumatized axons, points to "leaky" Nav channels as a pivotal e...

CONTEXT A multiwave longitudinal neuroimaging study in a cohort of direct survivors of a South Korean subway disaster, most of whom recovered from posttraumatic stress disorder 5 years after trauma, provided a unique opportunity to investigate the brain correlates of recovery from a severe psychological trauma. OBJECTIVES To investigate region-specific brain mobilization during successful rec...

 Objective: To evaluate the association of base deficit (BD) with mortality in traumatized children, and to assess this association in a subgroup of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).   Methods: In this cross-sectional study performed prospectively on a convenience sample of patients under 16 years of age with trauma presenting to an academic lev...
