Injury to the cervical cord is common but may be overlooked The first important requirement in managing any patient with an injury to the cervical spine is to make the diagnosis: failure to do this in a patient with traumatic spinal instability may lead to increased neurological deficit. In one large series of such injuries the diagnosis was missed in the accident and emergency department in on...
BACKGROUND Cervical (C)-spine clearance protocols exist both to identify traumatic injury and to expedite rigid collar removal. Computed tomography (CT) of the C-spine in trauma patients facilitates the removal of immobilization collars in patients who are neurologically intact, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an indispensable adjunct for evaluating trauma patients with neurolog...
Three hundred fifty-one alert emergency department patients with post-traumatic neck pain were evaluated prospectively. Seven (2%) had proven fractures or ligament disruptions. The immediate onset of neck pain and the presence of posterior midline cervical tenderness each had 100% sensitivity, with specificity of 65% and 48%, respectively. Discharged patients were followed up by telephone or le...
Historical perceptions regarding the severity of traumatic spinal cord injury has led to considerable disparity in triage to tertiary care centers. This article retrospectively reviews a large regional trauma database to analyze whether the diagnosis of spinal trauma affected patient transfer timing and patterns. The Pennsylvania Trauma database was retrospectively reviewed. All acute trauma pa...
Background and purpose: Quality of life among traumatic brain injury patients is of great importance in having more effective treatment. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between quality of life after traumatic brain injury and demographic characteristics. Materials and methods: In this cohort study, the statistical population included 409 patients with traumatic brain injury...
Background and Objective: Traumatic brain injury is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide and the second leading cause of death in Iran. About half of patients with traumatic brain injury have hemoglobin of less than 9 g/dL during the first week of admission. With regard to the secondary damage to brain tissues caused by anemia and blood transfusion complications, we decid...
objectives we aim to evaluate the role of glibenclamide on the short-term outcome of patients with dai due to moderate to severe tbi. patients and methods in this controlled randomized clinical trial, 40 patients with moderate to severe tbi were assigned to glibenclamide (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. six hours after admission the intervention group received 1.25 mg glibenclamide every 1...
A multilevel contiguous fracture of the subaxial cervical spine represents the severe trauma, and anterior plate fixation with anterior transpedicular screw fixation is a new and reliable fixation pattern for the treat-ment of acute spinal cord injury (ASCI). We present a case of multilevel contiguous fractures in the lower cervical spine without obvious posterior ligamentous complex injury, bu...
Background and purpose: Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. It could occur following physical problems such as traumatic brain injury. This study was conducted to investigate the level of depression after traumatic brain injury based on demographic characteristics. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, the research population included 409 patients with t...
