STUDY OBJECTIVE We determine the effect of the duration of emergency department (ED) observation on computed tomography (CT) rate for children with minor blunt head trauma. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study of children with blunt head trauma and a Glasgow Coma Scale score greater than 14.

Patterns of head injury as well as management principles in children are important differences compared to adults. Traumatic brain injury by bull rush is usually seen in adults but has not been described in children-report a pediatric cranial trauma presen...

Head injury is common, sometimes requires intensive care unit admission, and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. A gap still remains in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of this condition. This review is aimed at providing a general overview of the molecular mechanisms involved in traumatic brain injury to a busy clinician. It will encompass the pathophysiology in...

Head injury is among the most devastating types of injury, specifically called Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). There a need to diminish morbidity related with TBI and improve outcome patients suffering TBI. Among improvements in treatment TBI, neuroprotection one upcoming improvements. Citicoline has been used management brain ischemia disorders, such as biochemical, pharmacological, pharmacokine...

Introduction Fracture healing can be defined as the physiological restoration of bone tissue, structure and function. A common association seen in orthopaedic practice is accelerated fracture healing, with exuberant callus formation in patients, with concomitant head injuries. This review explores our current state of understanding of this relationship. Materials and methods EMBASE and MEDLINE ...

BACKGROUND Post-traumatic amnesia is considered to be the best single indicator of the severity of closed head injury. Usually, it has been estimated retrospectively. For practical reasons this also tends to be the most common clinical method. It has been argued that prospective assessment is more accurate and reliable, but this has never been evaluated empirically in severe head injury. METH...

Head injury is one of the common problems that we are facing from accidents. It can range mild-to-severe head injuries, among which mild most one. In some cases injury, there be an associated brain hemorrhage. such cases, integrated approach may benefit patient. A 55-year-old male who had a traumatic with small hemorrhagic focus in right parietal region detected CT scan was treated homeopathic ...
