Although effective therapies are available for treatment, they need the patient to arrive at a center with CT brain facility to rule out an internal bleed at the earliest before giving clot dissolving medication. The time window is up to 4.5 hours but first 90 minutes have the best results. ...
Chronic: This kind of subdural bleed happens slowly, so fast treatment can lead to a better recovery. It’s usually caused by a less-serious head injury in someone who’s 65 or older, takes blood thinners, or has changes in their brain structure due to dementia or an alcohol use disorder...
Procedures to treat the aneurysm (placing a device using a catheter or doing surgery to open the skull) can reduce the risk that the aneurysm will bleed again. Without treatment, people who survive for 6 months have a 3% chance of another rupture each year. The outlook is better when the...

We can both consciously agree that the table is a table or that we will bleed if cut, so the subjective aspect is capable of representing the objective. The objective is capable in turn of 'incorporating' the subjective in terms of uncertainty in the physical. A fully cosmological theory ...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in long-lasting changes in hippocampal function. The changes induced by TBI on the hippocampus contribute to cognitive deficits. The adult hippocampus harbors neural stem cells (NSCs) that generate neurons (neuroge
Develops in the area between the dura and the arachnoid (subdural space)vast majority of bleeding is venous bleeding; expands at a slower rate than epidural; can bleed/ooze for a long time in older adult population; older population has more spaces b/c brain atrophies when we age...
The MRI evaluation parameters included white matter (WM) lesion volumes, perivascular and deep subcortical WM lesion grades, lacunar infarct prevalence, microbleed number, and regional medial temporal lobe (MTL) volumes. Participants were divided into 4 groups according to the presence or absence of ...
