Traumatic Brain Injury in Young Athletes: Prevention and Recognition Are Key "Brain injury is one of the most common forms of disability: impacting the lives of millions of people every year. It is also one of the least understood." —epigraph from Brain Injury Dialogues Traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can be an agonizing, and invisible, torment for those who have sustained one. Any hit to the head or any circumstance that creates movement of or pressure on the brain can...

Brian was in an automobile accident and has experienced traumatic brain injury. As a result, he is unable to recall new information. What part of the limbic system was most likely involved?
A 25-year-old male service member with blast-induced traumatic brain injury was recently admitted to the ER. This patient suffered from severe fatigue, dehydration, polydipsia, and polyuria. The only abnormal lab value found in the initial screening was a urine specific gravity of 1.002. What disorder/disease process is most likely manifesting these symptoms in this patient? What is a possible alternative diagnosis?
QUESTION 18 Increased intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury is associated with a higher mortality rate and poor outcome. Mannitol and hypertonic saline (HTS) have both been used to treat high intracranial pressure, but it is unclear which one is more effective. Here, the authors compare the effect of mannitol versus HTS on lowering the daily intracranial pressure burden after severe traumatic brain injury. The reduction of intracranial pressure for 35 patients who received only HTS was 6...
A 25 year old male service member with blast-induced traumatic brain injury was recently admitted to the ER. This patient suffered from severe fatigue, dehydration, polydipsia, and polyuria. The only abnormal lab value found in the initial screening was a urine specific gravity of 1.003. 1. What disorder/disease process is most likely manifesting these symptoms in this patient? 2. What other lab test could be used to confirm your initial diagnosis? 3. What other symptoms that may be associated with...
6. Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration greater than 1000 ms lasting for at least 1 ms will cause traumatic injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.42 m above the floor. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in a distance of approximately 2.0 mm Note that...
