abstract objective: to determine the effects of glycemic level on outcome patients with traumatic brain injury . m e t h od s :   from september 2010 to december 2012, all medical records of adult patients with tbi admitted to the emergency room of laura daniela clinic in valledupar city, colombia, south america were enrolled. both genders between 18 and 85 years who referred during the first 4...

STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence and natural history of sleepiness following traumatic brain injury. METHODS This prospective cohort study used the Sickness Impact Profile to evaluate sleepiness in 514 consecutive subjects with traumatic brain injury (TBI), 132 non-cranial trauma controls, and 102 trauma-free controls 1 month and 1 year after injury. RESULTS Fifty-five percent of...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is currently a rising player in the cause of disability and neurological dysfunction worldwide. TBI common occurrence military extreme activities, sports arena accidents. Severe can be fatal but mild persists progressively deteriorates homeostasis physiology. Apart from physical disabilities, psychological complexities arise people with TBI. Despite seriousness this...

Abstract Background To compare the preventive effects of levetiracetam and valproate on late-onset post-traumatic seizures in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods A total 95 TBI were recruited from 2017 to 2020. They randomized into three groups: (LEV) group ( n = 30) receiving LEV treatment (500 mg, bid, po); 32) sodium mg/d, once daily, control 33) no anti-seizure medication. g...

The current study was designed to address the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on plasticity and reorganization in the juvenile brain. Given that two of the major pathological sequelae of TBI involve a generalized neuroexcitation insult and diffuse axonal injury, we have employed models of these pathologies, delivered either independently or in combination, to examine their effects on in...

objectives the aim of this study was to present the incidence and characteristics of repeated tbi (rtbi) in iranian patients. patients and methods during one year, all admitted tbi patients with prior tbi history were enrolled into the study. in each patient, data such as age, gender, past medical history, injury cause, anatomic site of injury, tbi severity, clinical findings and ct scan findin...

The authors aim to determine if a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessed before dementia onset is associated with a higher risk of neuropsychiatric symptoms after dementia onset. A population-based incident series of people with dementia were assessed for TBI prior to onset of dementia and for neuropsychiatric symptoms after the onset, using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. Participant...

Tau is a protein that has received national mainstream recognition for its potential negative impact to the brain. This review succinctly provides information on structure of tau and normal physiological functions, including in hibernation changes throughout estrus cycle. There are many pathways involved phosphorylating diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), brain injury, aging, drug use. ...

the brain edema is one of remarkable injuries after traumatic brain injuries (tbi). the common treatments for limiting edema are included mannitol, barbiturates, corticosteroids, hyperventilation and central nervous system derange. the most of these treatments for edema is problematic. for example, mannitol can be effective for the short period of time (24 hours) after brain injuries but is not...

Use of novel approaches in imaging modalities is needed for enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes of persons with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study explored the feasibility of using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in conjunction with behavioral measures to target dynamic changes in specific neural circuitries in an animal model of TBI. Wistar rats were randomly ass...
