posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a disorder of emotional and mental stress occurring as an outcome of injury or severe emotional shock. several neuroimaging studies in humans have shown the functions and relationship between the anatomical changes of brain and ptsd. the three major areas of the brain are affected by ptsd .these three areas are the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cor...

conclusions appropriate surgical stabilization can be safely performed during established post-traumatic hypoxemia using a multidisciplinary approach, continuous monitoring, and serial investigations to diagnose fulminant pathology and associated injuries. results a total of 31 adults (26 males and 5 females) with lis of 0.1 to 2.5 (26 patients) and > 2.5 (five patients) at admission were recru...

both at11th edition of the international classification of diseases (icd-11) and in fifth edition of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (fifth edition-dsm-5), have pointed out that attitudes and quality of sleep can be seriously impaired by post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd). the present study was conducted to compare hostility and sleep disorders among nursing student...

breast cancer is the most common cancer among women that creates stress in physical, mental and spiritual aspects of patients’ lives. adjustment consequences for these patients may lead to post-traumatic growth including positive changes following the traumatic experience and/or return to the higher psychological level from what there was before that traumatic event. given the impacts of spirit...

post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a disorder of emotional and mental stress occurring as an outcome of injury or severe emotional shock. yoga may be useful in decrease of ptsd symptomology. new studies demonstrate that people suffering from ptsd can find actual relief with yoga. yoga decreases stress-induced allosteric load in three reactive systems of stress: the autonomic nervous syste...

background post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) comprises a collection of symptoms following exposure to injury-causing accidents of life. it is estimated that the prevalence of ptsd in children with malignancy and their parents is between 10-30% and even several years after treatment of malignancy this disorderremain in 20-20% of these patients. objectives this study investigated the prevalen...

Background. During hypertensive therapy for post-subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) symptomatic vasospasm, norepinephrine is commonly used to reach target blood pressures. Concerns over aggravation of vasospasm with norepinephrine exist. Objective. To describe norepinephrine temporally related deterioration in neurological examination of two post-SAH patients in vasospasm. Methods. We retrospectivel...

AIM Delayed cerebral ischemia (DIND) and cerebral vasospasm (CV) remain the most common and debilitating neurological complications following aneurysmal subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH). Many reports demonstrate the importance of proanthocyanidines (PR) on the vascular system, including endothelium-dependent relaxation of blood vessels. These effects of PR to cerebral vascular system was examine...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We examined the effects of a caspase-1 inhibitor, N-Ac-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethyl ketone (Ac-YVAD-CMK), on neurogenic pulmonary edema in the endovascular perforation model of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in mice. METHODS Ninety-seven mice were assigned to sham, SAH+vehicle, SAH+Ac-YVAD-CMK (6 or 10 mg/kg), and SAH+Z-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-FMK, 6 mg/kg)...

PURPOSE Microvascular endothelial integrity is important for maintaining the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) disrupts this integrity, making the BBB dysfunctional-an important pathophysiological change after SAH. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) regulate microvascular permeability by balancing each other's expression. METHODS This study inves...
