The impact of barbiturate therapy in children with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI)
… pressure (ICP) in children with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Specifically, evidence is limited on the use of barbiturate therapy as a second-tier treatment option for uncontrolled ICP in children, in part because cohort sizes are small and there are little data on physiological …

Understanding real-world and laboratory traumatic brain injury (TBI) using the computational model with brain functional regions
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or concussion, is a severe health concern. Many symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, and working memory deficits, are reported to be related to the dysfunction of brain functional regions, but the underlying mechanism …

Acute Metabolic and Neuroendocrine Responses to Maximal Treadmill Exercise in Patients Recovering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Public awareness of the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) increased significantly throughout the past decade. The increased awareness is primarily the result of a heightened understanding of the impact of blast-related TBI in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a renewed interest in …

The Support Needed for Spouses of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Survivors: An Exploration into Resources and Reference Materials
<p>Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is, indeed, an equal opportunity perpetrator. Of the millions of Americans who sustain a TBI each year, at least 230,000 people are hospitalized and survive, and more than 80,000 to 90,000 people experience the onset of long-term disability (“Report to Congress”). …

Investigating the effects of psychoeducation interventions in improving misconceptions of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among undergraduate university students.
… of studies exploring the misconceptions of TBI and concussion in various geographical regions, but an insufficient number of studies have focused on why this may be the case and what can be done to improve the knowledge amongst different populations. The current study attempted to explore …

Exploring the potential for biomarkers to aid forensic diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) – a systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent condition worldwide. Understanding its pathophysiology is imperative for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and cause of death determination. Biomarkers could offer potential insight. Proteins involved in neuroinflammation, such as systemic …

Preclinical Assessment of Immunocal® as a Preventative Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in a Mouse Model of Closed Head Injury
<p>Over the past three decades, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been considered a "silent epidemic" and recognized as an emergent public health problem by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). TBI is defined as a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of …

Stories of school reintegration following traumatic brain injury (TBI): The experiences of children, their primary caregivers and educators in the Western Cape
… focuses on the experiences of children with traumatic brain injury (TBI), their parents and educators of being back at school. TBI is a major health concern in South Africa (SA). Children who sustain a TBI have significant, but often hidden, disorders which affect their learning and social …

The prevalence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an investigation of behavioural and executive functioning outcomes (among those who have sustained TBIs) in a sample of male young offenders
… antisocial behaviour as well as for sustaining traumatic brain injuries (TBI; Moffitt, 1993; Williams, Cordan, Mewse, Tonks & Burgess, 2010). International literature has long made known the explicit link that exists between TBI and delinquent behavior (Eslinger, Flaherty-Craig, & Benton, 2004; …

Energy failure following traumatic brain injury: Potential mechanisms and impact of normobaric hyperoxia
… finding in post mortem studies following traumatic brain injury (TBI), but clinical studies using 15oxygen positron emission tomography (15O PET) suggest that classical ischaemia is uncommon beyond the first 24 hours after injury. Evidence of metabolic failure in the absence of classical …

A cognitive profile of South African children with traumatic brain injury
… populations have shown that an event such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) experienced in childhood can lead to persistent neuropsychological deficits months, even years post-injury. However, there still exists a dearth of research on pediatric TBI (pTBI), more so in developing countries like …

AUTOMATED MIDLINE SHIFT DETECTION ON BRAIN CT IMAGES FOR COMPUTER-AIDED CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
… shift (MLS), the amount of displacement of the brain’s midline from its normal symmetric position due to illness or injury, is an important index for clinicians to assess the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In this dissertation, an automated computer-aided midline shift estimation …
