Acute Ischemic Stroke After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Acute Ischemic Stroke After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Incidence and Impact on Outcome.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to nearly 300 000 annual US hospitalizations and increased lifetime risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Occurrence of AIS immediately after TBI has not been well characterized. We evaluated AIS acutely after TBI and its impact on outcome. METHODS A prospective database of moderate to severe TBI survivors, admitted to inpatient rehabil...

cerebellar atrophy after moderate-to-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the cerebellum has not attracted the same degree of attention as cortical areas and the hippocampus in traumatic brain injury (TBI) literature, there is limited structural and functional imaging evidence that the cerebellum is also vulnerable to insult. The cerebellum is emerging as part of a frontocerebellar system that, when disrupted, results in significant co...

Pediatric sleep difficulties after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury.

The objective of this study is to systematically investigate sleep following moderate-severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). School-aged children with moderate-severe TBI identified via hospital records were invited to participate, along with a school-age sibling. Subjective reports and objective actigraphy correlates of sleep were recorded: Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ),...

Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

How inhibition relates to impulsivity after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.

Impulsive behaviors and poor inhibition performances are frequently described in patients with traumatic brain injury(TBI). However, few studies have examined impulsivity and associated inhibition impairments in these patients.Twenty-eight patients with moderate to severe TBI and 27 matched controls performed a stop-signal task designed to assess prepotent response inhibition (the ability to in...
