Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the main causes of mortality and severe disability in young and middle age patients. Patients with severe TBI, who are in coma, are of particular concern. Adequate diagnosis of primary brain injuries and timely prevention and treatment of secondary injury mechanisms markedly affect the possibility of reducing mortality and severe disability. The present gu...

Brain injury is a damage to the brain, not congenital or degenerative, but caused by an attack physical impact from outside. Traumatic brain (TBI) that occurs when force transmitted head body causes neuropathological and dysfunction. TBI one of most common injuries worldwide. This disorder affects 2% world's population each year leading cause death serious disability in children young adults. G...

Objective(s):Estrogen (E2) has neuroprotective effects on blood-brain-barrier (BBB) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to investigate the roles of estrogen receptors (ERs) in these effects, ER-α antagonist (MPP) and, ER-β antagonist (PHTPP), or non-selective estrogen receptors antagonist (ICI 182780) were administered. Materials and Methods: Ovariectomized rats were divided into 10 gr...

UNLABELLED Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most frequent causes of brain damage. Cognitive deficits reported in the literature after moderate to severe TBI include memory, language, executive functions, attention and information processing speed impairments. However, systematic studies on patients with mild TBI are scarce although neuropsychological changes are present. OBJECTIVE T...

OBJECTIVES Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and injury-related outcomes such as postconcussive symptoms (PCS) may influence health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children. METHODS We evaluated HRQOL in 186 8- to 15-year-old children with mild TBI and 99 children with orthopedic injuries (OI). Parents rated the frequency and severity of PCS at an initial assessment within 2-weeks postinju...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a disturbance in functioning caused by an external force. The development of post traumatic epilepsy (PTE) serious risk associated with TBI. Indeed, other neurological impairments are also common following In this review, we analyze and discuss the most widely used best validated rodent models TBI, particular focus on their contribution to understandin...

The prognostic ability of global white matter and gray metabolite ratios following pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) their relationship to 12-month neuropsychological assessments intelligence quotient (IQ), attention, memory is presented. Three-dimensional proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) in subjects with complicated mild (cMild), moderate, severe TBI was acquired acu...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common in boxing and other contact sports. The long term irreversible and progressive aftermath of TBI in boxers depicted as punch drunk syndrome was described almost a century ago and is now widely referred as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The short term sequelae of acute brain injury including subdural haematoma and catastrophic brain injury may lead ...
