Traumatic brain injuries [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016 Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are clinically grouped by severity: mild, moderate and severe. Mild TBI (the least severe form) is synonymous with concussion and is typically caused by blunt non-penetrating head trauma. The trauma causes stretching and tearing of axons, which leads to diffuse axonal injury - the best-studied pathogenetic mechanism of ...

Sustained Axonal Degeneration in Prolonged Disorders of Consciousness
Brain Sciences, 2021 (1) Background: Sustained axonal degeneration may play a critical role in prolonged disorder of consciousness (DOCs) pathophysiology. We evaluated levels of neurofilament light chain (NFL), an axonal injury marker, in patients with unresponsive ...

CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics, 2020 A head trauma is any injury that results in trauma to the skull, scalp, or brain. Every patient with a suspected head trauma should initially undergo a focused neurological examination which consists of the Glasgow Coma Scale Score (GCS), plus pupillary reactivity, that classifies the traumatic brain injury (TBI) as mild, moderate, or severe.

Neurology, 2010 In the article “A Prospective Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” ( Neurology ® 2010;74:643–650), Andrew Mayer and colleagues studied the effects of mild brain injury using a special kind of magnetic resonance image (MRI). The new MRI sequence is called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Horse riding – related injuries from the point of view of a neurosurgeon
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2022 Horse riding (equestrianism) is a very old form of physical activity, and today it has become a very popular sport and recreation. Similarly to other sports, equestrianism carries potential risk of injuries, most often caused by a fall from a horse back.
