30 Oct 2009 Many treatments for posttraumatic, skull base aneurysms have been described. Eight months after an all-terrain-vehicle accident, this 12-year-old girl presented with right-side Horner syndrome caused by a 33 x 19-mm internal carotid artery aneurysm ... Read more...

Factors influencing self-rated health in traffic-related mild traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To report self-rated health and factors influencing health after traffic-related mild traumatic brain injury. DESIGN: Population-based, cross-sectional study of traffic-related mild traumatic brain injury occurring between 1 December 1997 ... Read more...

Propofol infusion syndrome with arrhythmia, myocardial fat accumulation and cardiac failure.

13 Oct 2009 Propofol is a potent and widely used central-acting sedative drug. It has been implicated in the development of a usually fatal syndrome characterized by metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and Brugada-like cardiac rhythm ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Injuries'

Definition: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
