Background: Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable groups of road accident victims, who are prone to a growingmortality rate due to the constant rise in the number of accidents. This study was performed to investigate the injurypatterns among motorcyclist trauma patients admitted to Kamyab Hospital, the largest trauma center affiliated withMashhad Univercity of Medical Sc...

DESIGN Prospective, hospital based cohort study, with one year follow up of sample stratified by coma score. SETTING Five acute hospitals in Glasgow. SUBJECTS 2962 patients (aged 14 years or more) with head injury; 549...

Head injury is one of the common problems that we are facing from accidents. It can range mild-to-severe head injuries, among which mild most one. In some cases injury, there be an associated brain hemorrhage. such cases, integrated approach may benefit patient. A 55-year-old male who had a traumatic with small hemorrhagic focus in right parietal region detected CT scan was treated homeopathic ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between the degree of midline shift by Computed Tomography (CT) finding and Glasglow Coma Score (GCS) as a predictive of clinical outcome in patients after head injury. METHOD AND METHOD: The present study was performed by retrospectively reviewing 216 consecutive cases of traumatic head injury admitted to the trauma center in Siriraj Hospital from 1999 un...

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) blood flow velocity was measured daily by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in 121 patients with severe (50), moderate (16) and minor (55) head injury during their hospital stay, and the results compared with findings in control subjects. Admission MCA velocity was significantly lower after severe 35.8 (31.9-39.7) cm/s, mean (95% confidence limits), moderate 45.5...

Head injury is a major cause of disability and death in adults. Significant developments in imaging techniques have contributed to the knowledge of the pathophysiology of head injury. Although extensive research is available on severe head injury, less is known about mild-to-moderate head injury despite the fact that most patients sustain this type of injury. In this review, we focus on structu...
