Background: Traumatic brain injury is believed to be a public health disorder with some complications. Post Traumatic Neurocognitive Disorders (PTND) received much attention among these complications because of the high prevalence of mild traumatic brain injuries. On the other hand, advanced neuroimaging is increasingly becoming an exciting modality in the field of traumatic brain injury. Magne...

OBJECTIVE Pre- and post-injury language performance scores following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) were investigated through a replication and subsequent extension of a previous case study where a trend for declining language scores was described based on pre- and post-injury data. METHODS Test norms were used to descriptively analyze pre- and post-morbid language performance and perform...

BACKGROUND Estimates of the prevalence of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) among military personnel and combat veterans rely almost exclusively on retrospective self-reports; however, reliability of these reports has received little attention. AIMS To examine the consistency of reporting of mTBI over time and identify factors associated with inconsistent reporting. METHOD A longitudinal c...

traumatic brain injury is a common entity. however cerebral infarction in infants is a rare entity while the diagnosis of this pathology in the pediatric population is usually difficult. the mild head trauma is rarely accompanied by intracranial injury and even less, with cerebral infarction. we herein report the first case of cerebral infarction after a mild brain trauma in a 2-year-old latin-...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is one of the most common neurological diseases with no definite treatment. erythropoietin (epo) and progesterone (prog) have been shown to have neuroprotective effects in different types of experimental brain injury models. this study was designed to determine the effect of epo, prog and combination of epo/prog on neurological outcome after traumatic brain injury. ...

background & aim: using pharmaceutical agents in treatment of aphasia has caught the attention of many neurologists and neuroscientists. this short review study has sought the role of pharmacotherapy in treatment of aphasia, a linguistic impairment after acquired brain lesions. the pharmacological principles and mechanisms related to the effects of drugs used in aphasia rehabilitation are point...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is one the most common cause of disability between young adults. these people have been socially isolated during post-surgery traumatic brain injury. in this study we investigated the effect of social isolation on the structural deficits after tbi in the young rats. young rats were divided into control group with social interaction, sham group with social isolation ...

background: in previous studies, the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol; in diffuse traumatic brain injury has been shown. this study used ici 182,780, a non-selective estrogen receptor antagonist, to test the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effect of 17&beta-estradiol; in traumatic brain injury is mediated by the estrogen receptors. methods: the ovariectomized rats were divided in...
