road traffic accidents represent the important health threat to children in developing countries. post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) can occur as result of road traffic accidents. in this regard, people under 30 years old are the main victims of road traffic accidents. during previous decades road accident consequences for mental state or other aspects of life was neglected. survey proposed ...

Background: American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) [1] recommends that patients presenting with acute non-traumatic headache concerning for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) undergo lumbar puncture (LP) when non-contrast head computed tomography (CT) is negative. The diagnostic yield of this approach is unknown. Objective: Evaluate the diagnostic yield, lengths of stay and complication rat...

The aim of this study is to analyze whether melatonin administration influenced the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) activity, proinflammatory cytokines expression, and oxidative response in the basilar artery after SAH. A total of 48 rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: control group, SAH group, SAH + vehicle group, and SAH + melatonin group. All SAH animals were subjected to inje...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent studies reported that apoptosis was involved in the pathogenesis of early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The aim of this study was to examine whether sodium orthovanadate (SOV) prevents post-SAH apoptosis by modulating growth factors and its downstream receptor tyrosine kinases. Method- Rats were operated on with the endovascular perforation mode...

unexpected extreme sudden traumatic stressor may cause post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd). important traumatic events include war, violent personal assault ( e.g. , sexual assault, and physical attack), being taken hostage or kidnapped, confinement as a prisoner of war, torture, terrorist attack, severe car accidents, and natural disasters. in childhood age sexual abuse or witnessing serious...

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has become an effective tool in the evaluation of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but it still has limitations. Up to 15% of non-traumatic SAH cases are negative on CTA. The benefits of catheter angiography in the evaluation of certain cases of CTA-negative SAH have been previously demonstrated. Here, we present the case of a 48-year-old female...

Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two ...

Early brain injury (EBI), following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), includes blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and consequent edema formation. This study aims to evaluate the effect of lycopene on early brain injury and inflammation in SAH. Neurological deficits, brain water content and Evans blue dye extravasation were evaluated after the treatment with lycopene. Besides neuronal apoptosis,s...
