Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Comparison of accidental and nonaccidental traumatic brain injuries in infants and toddlers: demographics, neurosurgical interventions, and outcomes.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Nonaccidental trauma has become a leading cause of death in infants and toddlers. Compared with children suffering from accidental trauma, many children with nonaccidental trauma present with injuries requiring neurosurgical management and ... Read more...

Neurological injuries from car surfing.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Trauma secondary to car surfing is a unique mechanism of head and spinal injury in children and adolescents. In this study, the authors present their experience with neurological injuries resulting from car surfing and describe the growing ... Read more...
