There has been little effort to identify an overall occurrence of numerous cerebral white matter hyperintensities (NCWMH) on relevant brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences in postinjury fat embolism syndrome (CFES) patients. Also, quantification pre-CFES cognitive status, degree neurologic deterioration, and presence a skeletal fracture with CFES is nominal. The authors performed Pub...

introduction : very severe head trauma cases, defined as glasgow coma scale (gcs) scores of less than 6, have a higher mortality rate and poorer outcome. the purpose of this study was to recognize factors associated with survival and 6-month favorable outcome of very severe head trauma patients presenting to emergency department.  methods: in this historical cohort study, the authors retrospect...

epidemics of methanol poisoning happen across the globe. there are prognostic factors associated with morbidity or mortality from methanol poisoning. recently we have compared retrospective observational case series of methanol-poisoned patients from norway (1979 and 2002-2005), estonia (2001) and tunisia (2003/2004), and patients from two different centers in iran (teheran 2004-2009 and mashha...

OBJECTIVE To compare the value of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and cerebral state index (CSI) on predicting hospital discharge status of acute brain-injured patients. METHODS In 60 brain-injured patients who did not receive sedatives, GCS and CSI were measured daily during the first 10 days of hospitalization. The outcome of prognostic cut-off points was calculated by GCS and CSI using receiver o...

The neurologist is often required to evaluate the unconscious patient from both the diagnostic and prognostic perspective. Knowledge of the anatomical basis of coma is essential for competent evaluation but must be combined with an understanding of the many, often multi-factorial, medical conditions that result in impaired consciousness. Consciousness is a state of awareness of self and the env...

Aim: To compare the predictive accuracy of Glasgow coma Scale (GCS) versus full outline unresponsiveness score (FOUR score) for poor out-come prediction in children admitted paediatric ICU. Study design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and duration study: Department Pediatrics, Services Hospital Lahore from 29th June 2017 to December 2017. Methodology: One hundred seventy were enrolled...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a public health problem worldwide. Secondary damage of brain injury begins within a few minutes after the trauma and can last a long time. It can be reversible, unlike primary injury. Therefore, therapeutic intervention can be used. The aims of this study were to assess the effects of minocycline on neurological function and serum S100B protein and neuron-specifi...

Objective To show the effect of dual monitoring including cardiac output (CO) and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring for severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patiens. We hypothesized that meticulous treatment using dual monitoring is effective to sustain maintain minimal intensive care unit (ICU) complications and maintain optimal ICP and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) for severe TBI pati...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether early mobilization of patients with severe acquired brain injury, performed in the intensive/neurointensive care unit, influences functional outcome. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Fourteen centres in Italy. SUBJECTS A total of 103 consecutive patients with acquired brain injury. METHODS Clinical, neurological and functional data, includin...
