traumatic brain injury (tbi) initiates a cascade of numerous pathophysiological events that evolve over time. despite the complexity of tbi, research aimed at therapy development has almost exclusively focused on single therapies, all of which have failed in multicenter clinical trials. a variety of brain insults, including traumatic brain injury, encephalitis, stroke, and status epilepticus (s...

it has been estimated that more than 1.7 million individuals suffer a traumatic brain injury (tbi) each year. tbi causes secondary biochemical and metabolic changes which contribute to subsequent tissue damage and associated neuronal cell death. two early and delayed events occur after tbi, which results in neurological deficits. primary injury events include the mechanical damage that occur at...

objective(s):melatonin is known as an anti-inflammatory agent, and it has been proven to exert neuroprotection through inhibition of cell death (apoptosis) in several models of brain injury.secondary injury following the primary traumatic brain injury (tbi) results in glial cells activation, especially astrocytes. in fact, astrocyte activation causes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is defined as an external mechanical injury to the brain. neuroinflammation plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of tbi. microglia and astrocytes play a central role in the initiation and regulation of inflammation. numerous pro-inflammatory mediators including cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ros) and nitric oxide (no) released by microglia. in ...

over half of all reported traumatic brain injuries are the result of a motor vehicle accident. other then the direct head impact itself, the sheer forces of the accident can cause the brain also to collide against the internal bone of the skull. in fact, when a moving head comes to a quick stop, the brain continues in its movement, striking the interior of the skull. this can cause bruising of ...

in recent years, the usefulness of intracranial pressure (icp) monitoring has been questioned in several reports for traumatic brain injury (tbi) management. therefore the needs of multidisciplinary groups of discussion of neurosurgeons and neurointensivists to update practical applications of icp in severe adult tbi has been advocated in many parts of the world. a consensus conference was held...

emotion regulation difficulties are from the factors that caused the incidents and automobile accidents and work related. this study aimed to comparing emotion regulation difficulties in mild traumatic brain injury (tbi) patients and normal people in kashan.the study was performed on 30 tbi patients referred to shahid beheshti hospital in kashan city and 30 normal people in kashan. tbi patients...

head trauma associated with multiple destructive cognitive symptoms. cognitive destruction leads to impairment in cognitive tasks and cognitive failure. cognitive failures include problems with memory, attention, and operation. this study aimed to comparing cognitive failures in mild traumatic brain injury (tbi) patients and normal people in kashan. the study was performed on 40 tbi patients re...

conclusions this persian version of the fim can be used as a valid, reliable, and replicable instrument for research and rehabilitation purposes in tbi patients. results the inter-rater reliability was acceptable on admission and at discharge (icc = 0.779 to 0.895). the internal consistency of fim and its subscales were excellent (α ≥ 0.97). the results for criterion validity by adjusting the v...
