Head Injury from Antiquity to the Present with Special Reference to Penetrating Head Wounds

چکیده
animals. Here they present evidence for interneuronal mechanisms within the ventrobasal thalamus. This provides an anatomical substrate for the numerous excitatory, inhibitory, and recurrent collateral mechanisms delineated neurophysiologically by D. Purpura, and by T. Frigyesi and R. Schwartz. A grand overview of the role of cerebral cortex in the modulation of input to the medial thalamus at thalamic and at spinal levels is presented by D. Albe-Fessard and her associates. An intensive analysis of corticifugal mechanisms in learned movement (E. V. Evarts), in contact placing (V. E. Amassian and associates), on eye movements (B. Cohen), and upon the ventrolateral thalamic nucleus (J. Massion and L. RispalPadel) are presented extensively, as are other studies dealing with cerebellofugal mechanisms, corticotectal projections, and retroflexive visual cortical projections to lateral geniculate body. An overall hypothesis of thalamic function, based upon human pathyphysiologic anatomical analysis is presented by R. Hassler. The work which includes edited discussions, is exemplary in its execution, and will serve as a substantial source for reference, both as to substance and hypothesis, in this complex field.

متن کاملManagement of embedded foreign body: penetrating stab wound to the head.
Penetrating craniocerebral trauma is an injury in which a projectile violates the skull but does not exit. The significance of penetrating injuries to the head depends largely on the circumstances of the injury, the velocity of impact, and attributes of the projectile. While most penetrating head injuries are caused by firearms, lower-velocity mechanisms of penetrating brain injury present uniq...
متن کاملPenetrating brain injury: a case of survival following blast fragmentation injuries to the head.
We present a case of penetrating head injuries caused by blast fragmentation, along with other serious injuries (including to the arms, face and neck), where a good recovery was made despite an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of 75. We suggest that survival and outcome are reliant on several factors and cannot be predicted from ISS, velocity of penetrating injury or presenting Glasgow Coma Scale (G...
متن کاملPenetrating head injuries.
The story begins long before the dawn of recorded history, at the time when man learned to use sticks and stones as weapons. We shall trace the injuries caused by weapons, which became increasingly more deadly from the Stone Age, through the ancient civilisations of Egypt and Greece to modern times. What do we mean by a penetrating wound of the head? There are three kinds of head injury. First,...
