Neurotrauma, including cranial and spinal injuries, is a major health issue in both the developing and developed world. The incidence of traumatic brain injuries varies from 91 to 430 per 100,000 people, involving the younger active subpopulation of the societies [1]. Despite being a major cause of morbidity and mortality, neurotrauma is to a great extent preventable. The incidence of neurotrau...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is an important clinical problem in the worldwide and especially due to breaking driving rules in iran, but undesirable consequences of trauma can persist for the rest of patient’s life. we investigated the effect of a novel weight drop model of tbi on incidence of seizure 2 weeks after tbi. in this regard, 21 male wistar rat weighted 250-300 gr randomly were divide...

Current knowledge of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neurotrauma and the key clinical and experimental strategies for promoting recovery and regeneration after brain and spinal cord trauma are reviewed. Brief overviews of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of neurotrauma are presented, and the key experimental and clinical treatments for the promotion of recovery and regeneration afte...

BACKGROUND In 2000 the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee published guidelines for safe and cost-effective management of minimal, mild and moderate head injured patients.The aims of this study were to investigate to what extent the head injury population is under the influence of alcohol, and to evaluate whether the physicians' compliance to the guidelines is affected when patients are influenc...

Significant attention has recently been drawn to the potential link between head trauma and the development of neurodegenerative disease, namely chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The acute neurotrauma associated with sports-related concussions in athletes and blast-induced traumatic brain injury in soldiers elevates the risk for future development of chronic neurodegenerative diseases suc...

A majority of investigations on primary blast injuries have focused on gas-containing organs, while the likelihood of blast-induced neurotrauma remains underrated. In Norway minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) are hunted using small fishing boats rigged with harpoon guns, which fire harpoons tipped with a grenade containing a charge of 30-g penthrite. The grenade detonates 60-70 cm inside...

The high incidence of blast exposure on today’s battlefield has been strongly associated with traumatic brain injuries. Anecdotal evidence of prolonged apnea following blast exposure has been observed in military personnel and is commonly reproduced in animal neurotrauma models. Animal models have shown that apnea tolerance is both dose and species-dependent; important factors include primary b...
