Recent high-profile traumatic brain injuries have called for legislation monitoring concussion policies in professional and high school sports. New medical breakthroughs may help patients currently suffering from a traumatic brain injury.
Scientists have recently discovered that viral infections, such as meningitis, may be causing more traumatic brain injury harm that once thought. Researchers are looking into the severe trauma that infections are causing on the brain including an exploding of blood vessels.
Undergoing an incident that causes a traumatic brain injury (TBI) to occur can be a difficult process for an individual, one that only becomes more difficult with the development of depression among TBI patients.
Scientists have been studying the use of a simple polymer on traumatic brain injury patients and have found that the polymer, when administered within several hours of the injury, can not only reduce an TBI outcome, but can reverse the effect as well.
To recover from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can be very torturing and painful. There are knowledge, skills, lessons as well as patent-pending technology that can speed up the recovery. Victims can learn to recover fast.
Recently a deadly train accident occurred in the California injuring more than 100 passengers. Many of those passengers likely suffered from traumatic brain injuries, a condition in which millions of Americans currently suffer with.
Personal Injury: Traumatic Brain Injury. The University of California San Diego recently was awarded a grant in part funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) to improve treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for American citizens and returning war veterans.
U.S. soldiers who have fought for their country and return home with disabilities because of a brain injury should be provided for in the best possible way. However, with so many soldiers returning from the war in Iraq with a brain injury, the war’s signature injury, it becomes difficult to track and treat these men and women.
Millions of Americans are affected each year by a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Often these victims are left with serious and debilitating injuries including paralysis of limbs. However, new technology is emerging that may provide a new lease on life for individuals suffering from TBI.
Each year, millions of Americans are tragically affected by a mild to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is one of the most overlooked injury and individuals suffering from TBI go untreated, while suffering severe consequences. However, as treatment options grow, more individuals can be helped to overcome the adverse complications associated with TBI.
