In this chapter, the first sections will define TBI based on the severity of the injury, physical mechanism causing the injury, and chronicity level. Subsequent sections will outline the major cognitive deficits observed in TBI patients, including impairment in general intelligence, memory, executive...

We define injuries to the head as cases resulting in any physical trauma to the head, scalp, and frontal region overlaying the intracerebral contents. This definition was designed to describe the epidemiology of impacts to the head, which have the potential for more severe outcomes like traumatic...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects millions of people worldwide, many of whom are affected with post-TBI mood disorders or behavioral changes, including aggression or social withdrawal. Diminished functionality can persist for decades after TBI and del
281 codes were statistically significantly associated with sex (50 of them were associated with higher odds of being female, and 231 with higher odds of being male) in both datasets after Bonferroni correction and were further included in the multiple logistic regression model to define gender score...
However, the overall results of HSS related studies are inconsistent and further clinical trials are needed to define its role. In severe TBI patients with increased ICP or brain edema, a serum sodium level Na+ up to 150 - 155 mEq/L may be acceptable [120]. However, serum electrolytes ...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant problem of public health, with potentially devastating consequences for the patients and their families and represents a substantial burden to healthcare and economic systems. Sometimes defined as “the most complex disease of the most complex organ,” TB...
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 ...
