2. 1. Clinical Aspects of Pediatric Head Injury

   Author : Ramona Åstrand; Neurokirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head injury; Traumatic brain injury; Children; Management; Radiology; Biochemical brain injury markers; protein S100B;

   Abstract : Traumatic head injury is one of the leading causes to severe morbidity and death among children. Specific and national management guidelines for pediatric head injuries are lacking in Sweden, and management routines are consequently based on adult guidelines or local guidelines. READ MORE

4. 2. Mild Traumatic Brain Injury : Studies on outcome and prognostic factors

   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rehabilitation; Mild Traumatic Brain Injury; Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire; Rasch-analysis; prediction; outcome; head CT pathology; Magnet Resonance Imaging; Rehabilitation Medicine; Rehabiliteringsmedicin;

   Abstract : Objectives: To explore the prevalence and structure of self-reported disability after mild traumatic brain injury and the impact of traumatic brain pathology on such outcome.Material and methods: In study 1-3, symptoms data were collected by use of Rivermead Post-concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) and data on global function by use of Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) from 2602 patients at 3 months after MTBI.

5. 3. Definition of axonal injury tolerances across scales : A computational multiscale approach

   Author : Annaclaudia Montanino; Svein Kleiven; Alessandra Villa; Xiaogai Li; Kacy Cullen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traumatic Brain Injury; Axonal Injury; Mechanoporation; Multiscale;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is today regarded as a global health challenge. Revealing how external mechanical loads translate into tissue and cellular damage is necessary, not only for the development of better preventive measures, but also for the definition of treatments that could spare the patients from suffering TBI's devastating consequences.

6. 4. Development of an Anisotropic Finite Element Head Model for Traumatic Brain Injury Prediction

   Author : Chiara Giordano; Svein Kleiven; Songbai Ji; KTH; []
   Keywords : Axonal Strain; Brain Anisotropy; Traumatic Brain Injury; Finite Element Analysis; Brain Tissue; Constitutive Modeling.; Medical Technology; Medicinsk teknologi;

   Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a worldwide health care problem with very high associatedmorbidity and mortality rates. In particular, the diagnosis of TBI is challenging: symptomsoverlap with other pathologies and the injury is typically not visible with conventionalneuroimaging techniques. READ MORE

7. 5. Severe Head Injury. Evaluation of Acute Treatment and Rehabilitation

   Abstract : Mortality after severe head injury can be considerably reduce with a therapy using physiological principles for brain volume regulation and preserved microcirculation, with the main purpose of restricting the rise in ICP to reasonable levels simultaneously with preservation of adequate blood supply. This study shows that the ?Lund Concept? can reduce mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain lesions from 47% to 8%. READ MORE
