background: simultaneous electrocardiographic (ecg) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (mi). this study was designed to assess the role of ecg changes to predict true mi in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. methods: data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ecg changes were recorded. enzyme study was ...

Investigations of the basic pathological, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) over the past two decades have been carried out primarily in rodents. Unfortunately, these studies have not translated into improved outcome in patients with TBI. To better model human TBI, a swine model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) was developed. A CCI device was used to generate...

BACKGROUND 11q23 deletion syndrome, also known as Jacobsen syndrome, is characterized by growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, facial dysmorphism, multiple congenital abnormalities, and thrombocytopenia. In 11q23 deletion syndrome, it is often difficult to anticipate the severity of bleeding. We report a neonatal case of 11q23 deletion syndrome with bleeding that was more severe than pre...

conclusions it seems that, in patients undergoing pncl, sa is as effective and safe as ga. patients who undergo pncl under sa require smaller amounts of analgesic dose and show hemodynamic stability during surgery and recovery time. also, sa technique provides decreased blood loss and shortened surgery as well as anesthesia times compared to ga. results map and heart rate show no significant di...

germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is the most common variety of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage and is characteristics of the premature infant. the importance of the lesion relates not only to its high incidence but to their attendant complications (ic: hydrocephalus). brain sonography is the procedure of choice in diagnosis of germinal matrix- intraventricular hemorrhage and h...
