Seizures are common consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and have been reported in clinical series as an incidence of 15% to 22% in patients of traumatic brain injury. Nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) are also common that approximately 10% of patients have been suffered from electroencephalographically detected seizures during the acute period of TBI. Early posttraumatic seizures are one cau...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is one of the serious neurodisorders commonly caused by car accidents and sports. preventive measures are highly recommended to reduce the risk and number of tbi cases. after tbi, the primary injury to the brain initiates a secondary injury process that spreads via multiple molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of tbi. many studies in animals using cdna microarra...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered an epidemic that continues to compromise the welfare of humankind. Despite the extensive efforts invested in countering this clinical health problem, current clinical science and technology still fall short of providing a pharmacological cure for TBI rendering tens of thousands of TBI patients vulnerable to its detrimental sequelae. Over the past 30 ye...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of chronic disability. Worldwide, it is the leading cause of disability in the under 40s. Behavioral problems, mood, cognition, particularly memory, attention, and executive function are commonly impaired by TBI. Spending to assist, TBI survivors with disabilities are estimated to be costly per year. Such impaired functional outcomes following TBI c...

background: the present study assesses independent predictors of clinically important traumatic brain injury (citbi) in order to design a prognostic rule for identification of high risk children with mild head injury. materials and methods: in a retrospective cross-sectional study, 3,199 children with mild traumatic brain injury (tbi) brought to emergency ward of three hospitals in tehran, iran...

This study examines rates of reporting of new or worse post-traumatic symptoms for patients with a broad range of injury severity at 1 month and 1 year after traumatic brain injury (TBI), as compared with those whose injury spared the head, and assesses variables related to symptom reporting at 1 year post-injury. Seven hundred thirty two TBI subjects and 120 general trauma comparison (TC) subj...

objective: to determine the diagnostic value of serum white blood cell (wbc) count, fever (>38˚c) and wbc rise (>10%) for bacterial meningitis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (tbi). m et h o d : this cross-sectional study was conducted in shahid rajaei hospital affiliated with shiraz university of medical sciences during a 1-year period from 2013 to 2014. we included consecutivel...

A 53-year-old male with history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) presented localized dissociative amnesia following a second head injury. While memory loss due to TBI is present in the literature, presentations this type are very rare. Although fully independent activities daily living, patient demonstrated severe deficits visual and processing speed upon neurocognitive evaluation. Effort testin...

Abstract Objective Although emerging data suggest that women with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may suffer greater neurobehavioral dysfunction in both the post-acute and chronic phases of injury, sex differences have been severely understudied within context military TBI. Therefore, we examined on Comprehensive Traumatic Brain Injury Evaluation (CTBIE) using a diverse sample Iraq/Afghanistan-era...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an external mechanical injury to the brain. Neuroinflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of TBI. Microglia and astrocytes play a central role in the initiation and regulation of inflammation. Numerous pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) released by microglia. In ...
