OBJECTIVE To investigate the occurrence and severity of traumatic brain injury in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. DESIGN Cross-sectional study with prospective neurological, neuropsychological and neuroradiological examinations and retrospective medical record review. PATIENTS Thirty-one consecutive, traumatic spinal cord injury patients on their first post-acute rehabilitation ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of missed acute care traumatic brain injury diagnoses in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury, and to examine risk factors for missed traumatic brain injury diagnosis. DESIGN Prospective magnetic resonance imaging and neuro-psychological assessment plus retrospective medical record review, including computed tomography. SUBJECTS Ninety-two adults w...

Background: Renal trauma is among the most important challenges. Better management of traumatic renal patients necessary to improve patients’ clinical outcome. Objectives: This study aimed analyze pattern, severity, mechanism injury, and outcome in trauma. Methods: cross-sectional was conducted largest center southern Iran from March 2018 June 2022. Adult with diagnosed based on abbreviated inj...

conclusions with regards to the predictive strength of the combination of gcs and iss, a predictive system for analyzing the clinical outcome may be provided. results 15496 traumatic patients referred to the hospital and traumatic deaths occurred in 289 patients. blunt trauma accounted for 286 (99%) of death and penetrating trauma for only 1%. our findings concerning the injury pattern, correla...

Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP), a key regulatory protein, could be facilitated by mild hypothermia in the brain, heart and liver. This study observed the effects of mild hypothermia at 31 ± 0.5°C on traumatic brain injury in rats. Results demonstrated that mild hypothermia suppressed apoptosis in the cortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus, facilitated CIRP mRNA and protein expression i...

Traumatic ruptures of the diaphragm occur most frequently at blunt injuries of the abdomen or thorax as a component of polytraumatism. At the acute stage they present a serious diagnostic problem since signs of polytrauma are predominant. The authors report 3 cases of traumatic rupture of the diaphragm with thoracotomy as the therapeutic approach. The first patient presented with severe polytra...

BACKGROUND Blast-related traumatic brain injuries have been common in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but fundamental questions about the nature of these injuries remain unanswered. METHODS We tested the hypothesis that blast-related traumatic brain injury causes traumatic axonal injury, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), an advanced form of magnetic resonance imaging that is sensitive to a...

traumatic brain injury resulting road accidents create damage to the brain. the severe brain injury may cause extensive tissue loss of several parenchyma which results in cavities due to primary destruction and secondary injuries such as ischemia and inflammation. recent findings suggest that neuronal precursors in the adult mammalian brain can be a therapeutic target in ischemic brain injuries...
