Posttraumatic stress disorder mediates the relationship between mild traumatic brain injury and health and psychosocial functioning in veterans of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

29 Sep 2009 This study evaluated whether posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) mediated the relationship between mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and general health ratings, psychosocial functioning, and perceived barriers to receiving mental healthcare 2 ... Read more...

Management guided by brain tissue oxygen monitoring and outcome following severe traumatic brain injury.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The authors sought to describe changes in clinical management associated with brain tissue oxygen (PbO(2)) monitoring and how these changes affected outcomes and resource utilization. METHODS: The cohort study comprised 629 patients admitted ... Read more...

Time course for autoregulation recovery following severe traumatic brain injury.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the time course for cerebral autoregulation (AR) recovery following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS: Thirty-six patients (27 males and 9 females, mean +/- SEM age 33 +/- 15.1 years) ... 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.
