Prognostic models may have some clinical advantages when predicting the outcome of individual trauma patients is relevant. The variables that are predicted to have a negative effect on outcome in a model can also guide clinicians in their resuscitation attempt of trauma victims.

Herein, we report on a rare case of craniopharyngioma arising in the left temporal lobe with no prior history of head trauma or surgery. There was a solid-cystic mass in the left temporal lobe on MR images. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of a craniopharyngioma occurring in the temporal lobe.

Introduction Exposure to toxic agents may occur as a result of accidental or deliberate release. Accidental release of industrial chemicals may produce small scale incidents or mass disasters such as that which occurred in Bhopal in 1984. Deliberate release occurs when toxic agents are deliberately used as weapons of war or by terrorists. The consequences for medical management systems, of both...

Currently, angular acceleration is believed to be more damaging to the brain than linear acceleration, even though both are present in any head impact. In a recent experiment, it was found that a helmeted head sustained the same degree of angular acceleration as the unhelmeted head for the same impact, but its linear acceleration was decreased significantly. So, if angular acceleration is the c...

Fifty-seven consecutive severe male head injury patients together with a defined female relative were assessed at home 3, 6 and 12 months after injury in order to measure the psychiatric and social impact of the injury on the relative. Relatives were found to have significant and persistent psychiatric and social dysfunction and they considered themselves to have a high burden in caring for the...

Acute limb ischaemia is both a limb-threatening and life-threatening surgical emergency. The clinical presentation of acute limb ischaemia can vary depending on the underlying aetiology as well as pathophysiology. While traumatic acute limb ischaemia becomes obvious in a trauma victim, nontraumatic ischaemia can be easily mistaken for other neurological or medical conditions. The rapidity with ...
