Mechanical Tissue Resuscitation Treatment Reduces Brain Tissue Volume and Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Increases Blood Perfusion in a Traumatic Brain Injury Model in Swine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Each major war tends to have a „signature injury‟, with traumatic brain injury (TBI) associated with the Iraq war (Operation Iraqi Freedom II and Operation Enduring Freedom) due to the high incidence of personnel injured by IED (improvised explosive devices). Based upon successful outcomes in a rat model, this study in swine examined the efficacy of application of either 50 or 100 mm Hg vacuum to a controlled cortical impact (focal injury). Based on MRI and histological analysis, 100 mm Hg applied immediately after injury and continued for 72 hours was more efficacious than 50 mm Hg in decreasing the volume of injured tissue and the volume of hemorrhage.

Biomechanical analysis of blast-induced traumatic brain injury
Purpose: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is one of the causes of death or permanent invalidity which can occur unexpectedly in both military and civilian populations. This study set out to conduct a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian computational analysis of the interaction between a single planar blast wave and a human head in order to assess the extent of intracranial shock w...

The means of treatment of ICU patients is to sustain perfusion and O2 delivery to all major organs to avoid organ damage. On neurosurgical ICU the most important factor is to prevent secondary brain injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to ischemia or low tissue oxygenation. To minimize the risk of brain ischemia, standard treatment guidelines have been ...

Introduction: Brain injury is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and so far, there has been no absolute treatment for the damaged brain tissue. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds can be a promising method for treatment of traumatic brain injury. Materials and Methods: Human meningioma stem cells were isolated, cultured and then expanded into in vitro cond...
متن کاملApplication of a granular mineral-based hemostatic agent (QuikClot) to reduce blood loss after grade V liver injury in swine.
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled hemorrhage is a leading cause of death in cases of trauma. Many products currently are under development to control traumatic bleeding. One such Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product is QuikClot. This study determined the efficacy of QuikClot, a hemostatic agent, in reducing blood loss and mortality in a standardized model of severe liver injury as well as ...
متن کاملMelatonin treatment reduces astrogliosis and apoptosis in rats with traumatic brain injury
Objective(s):Melatonin is known as an anti-inflammatory agent, and it has been proven to exert neuroprotection through inhibition of cell death (apoptosis) in several models of brain injury.Secondary injury following the primary traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in glial cells activation, especially astrocytes. In fact, astrocyte activation causes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines...
