Hospitals should warn elderly patients about brain bleed symptoms, says judgewww.calgaryherald.comWww.calgaryherald.com
What is the prognosis after a brain hemorrhage? Is recovery possible? Many patients who have experienced a brain hemorrhage do survive. However, survival rates are decreased when the bleeding occurs in certain areas of the brain or if the initial bleed was very large. If a patient survives the...

Subarachnoid bleed:Subarachnoid bleeding occurs in the space beneath the arachnoid layer where the cerebrospinal fluid is located. Often there is intenseheadacheandvomitingwith subarachnoid bleeding. Because this space connects with the spinal canal, pressure buildup tends not to occur. However, this inj...

European epidemiological data show that traumatic brain injury (TBI) mainly affects elderly patients [1,2]. A considerable proportion of elderly individuals are on oral anticoagulants due to cardiovascular problems. TBI is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality in older patients [3,4]...

, (3) collateral blood influx (insufficient to save the tissue but enough to bleed), (4) infarction in areas in which the remaining vessels are fragile due to a vessel disease such as SVD or CAA [41], and (5) venous obstruction with subsequent congestion and extravasation of blood into ...
A bleed area detection approach that used information about the location and intensity features in CT slices reported a sensitivity of 82.5% [23]. The random classifier with handcrafted intensity features was able to predict the voxel level ICH probability with a DSI of 0.899 [24]. A symmetry...
Alternatively, blood tests for brain injury may not be as obviously and tangibly convincing for clinicians who may still feel compelled to perform a CT of the head to rule out a brain bleed. What is the new hope presented with the recent approval of Abbott’s Alinity i TBI test? The new...
