the symptoms may not necessarily occur immediately at the time of injury. While a brain injury occurs at the time of trauma, it may take time for enough swelling or bleeding to occur to cause recognizable symptoms.
The use of the GCS allows for rapid, if somewhat blunt, communication about injury severity in the setting of TBI. It is important to recognize that the categories of injury delineated by GCS may include a variety of injury patterns, in isolation or in combination, the management of which ...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is typically classified along a continuum of severity, conventionally divided into mild, moderate, and severe categories. Traditional definitions rely on early clinical features to define the least severe end of the continuum, mild TBI. The term also implies the least ...
An injury was defined as an event resulting in physical trauma to a student sustained during a school-sponsored activity. Categories of injury types were created based on text descriptions by school staff on injury reports. We identified 697 injuries from Pupil Accident Reports completed during the...
This review links the biology of EVs to the pathogenesis of TBI. To more clearly distinguish the subtypes of extracellular vesicles with differential effects on TBI and facilitate the selection of appropriate EV-based therapeutic strategies, we divided EVs into three categories: pathological EVs (PEV...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) promotes neural stem/progenitor cell (NSC) proliferation in an attempt to initiate innate repair mechanisms. However, all immature neurons in the CNS are required to migrate from their birthplace to their final destination to
The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM) divides TBI severity into three broad categories: mild, moderate, and severe (Kay et al., 1993). Severity classification is based on acute effects of the injury, which involve loss of consciousness. The patient's level of consciousness is...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability. Sequelae can include functional impairments and psychiatric syndromes such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety. Special Operations Forces (SOF) veterans (SOVs) ma
All respondents who reported that their most serious injury in the past 12 months was a concussion or other brain injury were selected to form the TBI group. Nonrespondents (i.e., those in the categories of “don’t know” and “refusal”) were excluded. Patients with TBI were compared ...
