Neuropsychological Recovery Trajectories in Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Influence of Patient Characteristics and Diffuse Axonal Injury

mental 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...

Moderate and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Mental Trauma Experienced by Caregivers of patients with Diffuse Axonal Injury or Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

CONTEXT As with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly with diffuse axonal injury (DAI), is that the caregivers are so overwhelmingly involved in caring and rehabilitation of the victim that in the process they become traumatized themselves. This review intends to shed light on the hidden and silent trauma sustained by th...

Traumatic Brain Injury at Multiple Length Scales: Relating Diffuse Axonal Injury to Discrete Axonal Impairment

The length scales involved in the development of diffuse axonal injury, typically range from the head level (i.e., mechanical loading) to the cellular level, where discrete axonal injuries are located near inclusions. The aim is to investigate the local axonal strains near an inclusion in relation to the tissue level strains of the brain stem during mechanical loading of the head and the result...

The Relationship Between Executive Function and Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Background: Cognitive impairment is a common complication of Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (STBI). One of cognitive problems following STBI is impaired executive functions which involve high-level cognitive processes and their dysfunction can lead to reduced quality of life.  Objective: This study aims to investigate the cognitive impairment in men with STBI compared to healthy men. Materials...
