Gabapentin, an anticonvulsant agent, is now often used for the treatment of neuropathic pain all over the world. It is unclear whether the combined use of gabapentin, sodium valproate, and flunitrazepam results in enhancement of the side effect, a gait disturbance. A 60-year-old man was taking oral sodium valproate for symptomatic epilepsy after a brain contusion and flunitrazepam to relieve in...

Murine models of CNS injury show auto-reactive T cell responses directed at myelin antigens, associated with improved neuronal survival and functional recovery. This pilot study shows, for the first time, that similar immune responses against myelin occur in human traumatic brain injury (TBI), with an expansion of lymphocytes recognising myelin basic protein observed in 40% of patients studied....

The ascertaining experiment involved 38 men in amateur sports at the age of 25-42 years with consequences brain contusion late remote period. issue renewal combatants by means physical culture and rehabilitation for becomes topical. A correctional program was developed: stage 1 (28 days) held on basis Ukrainian Research Institute Prosthetics, 2 (42 independently, but Gr1 trained under supervisi...

Abstract Background Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a frequently performed procedure to treat intracranial hypertension following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke. DC salvage that reduces mortality at the expense of severe disability compromises quality life. The not without serious complications. Methods We describe complications its management in case-based review this article. Resul...

Background and Aim: We aimed to determine the prognostic imaging and clinical markers of chronic Post-Traumatic Sleep-Wake Disorders (PTSWDs) with a special focus on the early cognitive and executive dysfunctions following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The prevalence rate of Post-Traumatic Psychiatric Disorders (PTPDs) in various sleep disorders was also investigated. Methods and Materials/Pat...

We have previously reported that administration of a CD11d monoclonal antibody (mAb) improves recovery in a clip-compression model of SCI. In this model the CD11d mAb reduces the infiltration of activated leukocytes into the injured spinal cord (as indicated by reduced intraspinal MPO). However not all anti-inflammatory strategies have reported beneficial results, suggesting that success of the...

Background High-energy blunt chest injury will bring out severe cardiac and pulmonary injuries. It may cause cardiac contusion, rupture, cardiac valve dysfunction, and aortic laceration [1]. As traumatic hemopericardium occurs, ultrasound is a convenient and reliable tool for diagnosis. We presented a 55-year-old male victim of blunt chest trauma complicated with hemopericardium, cardiac tampon...

According to statistics, chest injuries rank third in prevalence and are characterized by high mortality, which is 35 – 45%. This article presents a patient diagnosed treated for bilateral pulmonary contusion with post-traumatic pneumonitis after combined mine-explosive injury. Purpose. Of particular interest the clinician understanding of lung injury from standpoint interpretation diagnosis, m...
