This article describes the potential application of brain tissue oxygen monitoring technology in the care of patients who have sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). To accomplish this objective, a review of the intracranial dynamics that are created by primary and secondary brain injury, and the challenges of optimizing oxygen delivery to the injured brain are...

motor vehicle and falling down are responsible for the most number of traumatic injuries. this study aimed to compare the characteristics of traumatic brain injury among accident and falling down cases. in this analytical cross- sectional study, data were collected from the records of cadavers who died due to accident or falling down and referred to kahrizak dissection hall, tehran forensic med...

Reduced endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) function has been linked to secondary complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We previously found that there is increased eNOS function after SAH but that it is uncoupled, leading to secondary complications such as vasospasm, microthromboembolism and neuronal apoptosis. Here we test the hypothesis that recoupling eNOS with simvastatin can...

conclusions ptsd from childbirth occurs in some women. early identification of risk factors should lead to early therapeutic intervention in the mothers at risk of ptsd. results one hundred and three (17. 2%) women had symptoms of ptsd following childbirth based on the ptsd symptom scale (pss). the results of logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between maternal occup...

post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is a syndrome causing from a severe traumatic happening that leads to threatened death or injury. ptsd is associated with changes in limbic, hippocampal, and prefrontal cortical region function due to changes in synaptogenesis, dendritic modifying, and neurogenesis. changes in neuron in ptsd patients result from pathophysiological disturbances in inflammato...

objective: numerous iranian veterans who took part in iraq-iran war have developed post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd). several studies demonstrated changes in serum lipid concentrations in chronic ptsd (cptsd) patients. the purpose of this study was to assess serum lipid concentrations in soldiers with cptsd and compare it with serum lipid concentrations in patients with chronic mdd (cmdd). ...

Terson’s Syndrome (TS) was originally described as intraocular hemorrhage associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)1. It is a consequence of sudden rise in intracranial pressure (IP) that reduces venous return to the cavernous sinus or obstruct the retinochoroidal anastomoses and central retinal vein, culminating in venous stasis and ocular hemorrhage (Figure). TS has also been r...

A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with painless diplopia, left-ptosis, and left downward gaze, 3 days after sustaining a fall from standing height with subsequent lumbar and head trauma. Prior to the ED consult, his only symptom was persistent generalized high intensity headache. On physical examination, no other neurological deficit was found. Computed tomography (C...
