S100B is expressed in astrocytes and can be released into peripheral bloodstream after brain injury. Many studies have shown the good sensitivity of S100B testing in mild TBI (mTBI) diagnosis. Patients with normal S100B levels may not need to do the CT scan. Therefore, initial blood S100B ...
Blast Induced Traumatic Brain Injury or bTBI needs objective and subjective testing that can be made quickly in the field. Subjective tests using shapes, textures, tastes and odors as disposable, edible candies on a stick may be carried in a field kit. An objective test that employs a ...
These forward jumps are a sign of dis-inhibition, a well-known consequence of traumatic brain injury. The dis-inhibition in controlling predictable eye tracking is likely a consequence of damage to cerebellar-frontal fibers projections to the prefrontal cortex from shearing forces as the brain underg...
a concussion is not a life-threatening injury, but it can cause both short-term and long-term problems. A concussion results from a closed-head type of injury and does not include injuries in which there isbleedingunder the skull or into the brain. Another type ofbrain injury...
Pulmonary Function Testing Acquisition and Analysis Software Back To Top Indexes 121 Publications Citing Buxco or DSI, Respiratory and Traumatic Brain Injury Metabolism Temperature monitoring has several applications in TBI research. A noninfectious increase in core body temperature, known as Posttraumatic ...
According to the severity and characteristics of the pathological changes, the narrow sense of military TBI refers to concussion, blast injury and functional sequelae of the traumatic brain. Of the three, mTBI is the leading cause of those injuries. It should be noted that concussion is a common...
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
TBIs are diagnosed with a physical exam, brain imaging, and concussion testing. The treatment varies by the location and severity of the injury but may involve medications, rehabilitation, or surgery. This article describes the symptoms and causes of a traumatic brain injury, including what is in...
Traumatic brain injury, a leading cause of death and disability, is a result of an outside force causing mechanical disruption of brain tissue and delayed pathogenic events which collectively exacerbate the injury. These pathogenic injury processes are p
For a condition that impacts millions annually and poses short-term risk, long-term risk, and even death—objective testing used in tandem with these methods is crucial. The first rapid handheld objective blood test for concussions Our i-STAT TBI plasma test is the first rapid handheld...
