Abstract Objective History of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a potential risk factor for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease later in life, but findings have been inconsistent. We evaluate if past history TBI affects rate clinically normal older adults. Method Participants were 190 cognitively (CDR < 0.5) adults (age at baseline: M = 71.6, SD 7.0) with positive (TBI+; n 83) ...

This paper proposes a sampling based kinodynamic planning technique for planning persistent monitoring trajectories for a sensing robot in a spatiotemporal environmental field. The robot uses a Kalman-Bucy filter to estimate the spatiotemporal field. Since the error covariance matrix of the Kalman-Bucy filter evolves according to the nonlinear Riccati differential equation, this requires planni...

BACKGROUND Neurofibrillary tangles and beta-amyloid plaques have been observed in the amygdala in Alzheimer disease. A disproportionate abundance of this abnormality in the amygdala may cause behavioral symptoms similar to Klüver-Bucy syndrome. OBJECTIVES To describe an atypical behavioral presentation of Alzheimer disease and to review the literature on the subject. DESIGN Case study. SE...

BACKGROUND Axonal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may cause impaired sensory integration. We aim to determine the effects of childhood TBI on visual integration in relation to general neurocognitive functioning. METHODS We compared children aged 6-13 diagnosed with TBI (n = 103; M = 1.7 years post-injury) to children with traumatic control (TC) injury (n = 44). Three TBI severity gr...

Abstract Objective Both anxiety and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are both related to poorer Trail Making Test (TMT) performances. TBI survivors exhibit a greater incidence of in contrast the general population. We evaluated relationship between on TMT perceived workload ratings. Method The sample consisted 39 moderate-to-severe [(21 with normal symptoms (NSA) 18 abnormal (ASA)] 51 healthy compa...

objective(s) gastric ulceration is induced by various forms of stress like surgery, ischemia and trauma. the female sex has more resistance to stress and the gastrointestinal lesions happen fewer than male sex. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of estradiol and progesterone on the gastric acid and pepsin levels following traumatic brain injury (tbi) induction. materials and met...

Seventy-six prepubertal children receiving autologous or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) were enrolled in a prospective study on the impact of different pretransplant preparative regimens on growth. Patients were divided into three groups: group I, consisting of 37 children who had received total body irradiation (TBI) and cytotoxic drugs as preparative regimen; group II, including...
