UNLABELLED We prospectively evaluated the contribution of 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT in patients who have sustained acute, mild or moderate head trauma. METHODS Forty-two patients formed the first subgroup of moderate trauma (ModTr) and 25 patients formed the second subgroup of mild trauma (MilTr). All 67 patients underwent an initial SPECT (Tinit) within 4 wk after a closed cranial trauma. After a me...

posttraumatic cerebral infarction is a rare complication and is an indicator of poor clinical outcome of head-trauma in spite of appropriate medical and surgical interventions. cerebellar infarction following head trauma is also very rare and only a few reported cases are available in literatures. a 2-year-old child sustained head injury in a car accident and underwent surgery because of cerebr...

Based on previous findings of impaired eye and arm motor control after mild closed head injury (CHI), this study examined whether early eye and arm motor function, and the level of post-injury cerebral dysfunction manifested in motor control, relates systematically to recovery at 3 and 6 months after mild CHI. At 1 week post-injury, we assessed oculomotor function, upper-limb visuomotor perform...

Major Professor: Thomas Talavage Chronic neurological damage as a result of chronic repetitive head trauma is a major concern for football athletes today. Repetitive concussions have been linked to many neurologi...

An affective, somatic, and memory checklist of symptoms was administered to subjects who had no personal experience or knowledge of head injury. Subjects indicated their current experiences of symptoms, then imagined having sustained a mild head injury in a motor vehicle accident, and endorsed symptoms they expected to experience six months after the injury. The checklist of symptoms was also a...

Background: Mild head injuries in children are associated with morbidity and family distress. Though they common causes of emergency department visits, have been studied less than other more severe types trauma. This study aims to contribute the reduction this gap. Method Materials: The medical records 381 mild were reviewed analyzed. Identification any risk factors has attempted regression ana...

there are only a few, non-evidence based, neuroprotective strategies for treatment and prevention of brain injuries after closed head trauma. to establish new therapy strategies, a novel animal model is needed. the aim of our investigation was to link standardized small animal models and actual patient medical care. data of experimental small animal studies often cannot be transferred to cns in...
