Patients with traumatic brain injury show clear impairments in behavioural flexibility and inhibition that often persist beyond the time of injury, affecting independent living and psychosocial functioning. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that patients with traumatic brain injury typically show increased and more broadly dispersed frontal and parietal activity during pe...

In this article, the neuroradiological evaluation of traumatic brain injury is reviewed. Different imaging strategies in the assessment of traumatic brain injury are initially discussed, and this is followed by a review of the imaging characteristics of both primary and secondary brain injuries. Computed tomography remains the modality of choice for the initial assessment of acute head injury b...

background: simultaneous electrocardiographic (ecg) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (mi). this study was designed to assess the role of ecg changes to predict true mi in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. methods: data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ecg changes were recorded. enzyme study was ...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a significant public health concern in our country, because of placing in top three most common causes of death and substantial direct and indirect costs to society. the incidence of tbi in our country is 1.7 times of international incidence. traumatic brain injury induced by primary and secondary mechanisms that give rise to death and neurologic morbidity in pat...

Traumatic brain injury is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality, and results in reduced quality of life and lifespan: An estimated 1.7 million traumatic brain injuries occur annually in the United States alone. Traumatic brain injury carries an increased risk of epilepsy that correlates with the severity of the brain injury. Posttraumatic epilepsy accounts for less than 10% of epi...

introduction: following a traumatic brain injury (tbi), the excessive release of proinflammatory cytokines is major cause of cerebral edema that can cause permanent neuronal loss. this study examined the changes in brain concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines il-1, il-6, tnf-α and tgf- after different doses of estrogen or progesterone treatment in brain-injured rats at 6 and 24 h post-in...
