Abnormal corticospinal excitability in traumatic diffuse axonal brain injury.
This study aimed to investigate the cortical motor excitability characteristics in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) due to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). A variety of excitatory and inhibitory transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) paradigms were applied to primary motor cortices of 17 patients and 11 healthy controls. The parameters of testing included resting motor threshold (MT), motor evo...
متن کاملSelective corticospinal tract involvement in late-onset Krabbe disease.
A 4-year-old girl presented with increasing falls and progressive limb stiffness noticed for 2 months. There was no history of cognitive decline, seizures, or vision impairment. Examination revealed spastic quadriparesis, with no sensory or cerebellar abnormalities. A suggestive MRI scan of the brain (figure) and reduced galactocerebrosidase activity in leukocytes confirmed the diagnosis of lat...
متن کاملAssociation Between Serum Electrolyte Disturbances and Glasgow Coma Scale Score in Patients With Diffuse Axonal Injury
Background: Appropriate clinical measures to prevent secondary brain damage in traumatic brain injury are of critical importance. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships between serum electrolyte disturbances and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score in patients with Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) at the time of admission and discharge. Materials & Methods: In this retrospective cr...
متن کاملmental trauma experienced by caregivers of patients with diffuse axonal injury or severe traumatic brain injury
conclusions a long-term longitudinal study encompassing integrated research is needed to fully understand the traumatic experiences of caregivers. unless research on tbi or dai trauma is given its proper attention, the burden of trauma and injury on societies will continue to exacerbate globally. context as with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic bra...
متن کاملCognitive sequelae of diffuse axonal injury.
BACKGROUND The results of recent studies on cognitive disability after traumatic brain injury-associated diffuse axonal injury (DAI) are inconsistent. In these studies, the diagnosis of DAI relied on cranial computed tomography. OBJECTIVE To further clarify the extent and severity of a possibly DAI-associated cognitive impairment by the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and detailed neu...
