chip_prediction_rule - created
Prediction rules for patients with minor head injury suggest that the use of computed tomography (CT) may be limited to certain patients at risk for intracranial complications. These rules apply only to patients with a history of loss of consciousness, which is frequently absent. OBJECTIVE:
canadian_ct_head_rule
Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) There is much controversy about the use of computed tomography (CT) for patients with minor head injury. Stiell et al. aimed to develop a highly sensitive clinical decision rule for use of CT in patients with minor head injuries. They carried out a prospective cohort study in the emergency departments […]
traumatic_brain_injury_epidemiology - [Epidemiology in Europe]
Traumatic brain injury epidemiology Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical public health and socio-economic problem throughout the world, making epidemiological monitoring of incidence, prevalence and outcome necessary. It is one of leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide and is estimated to surpass many
mild_traumatic_brain_injury_diagnosis - [Computed Tomography]
Mild traumatic brain injury diagnosis Mild traumatic brain injury(mTBI) remains a challenge to accurately assess with conventional neuroimaging. The main challenge in the diagnosis lies in the fact that severe intracranial lesions are often associated with mild head injury, especially in the presence of specific risk factors. Despite the diagnostic gold standard is represented by

Study: Most Newborns with Epilepsy Benefit From Genetic Testing 16 August, 2017
Data show that the majority of neonatal epilepsy is linked to identifiable genetic causes, which may help guide treatment and family genetic counseling. Because of genetic testing, Orion Maynard’s parents knew the cause of his epilepsy weeks after he was born. The results influenced his treatment, qualified him for immediate intervention services and led […]
Music Therapy Helps People with Parkinson’s Build Strength Through Song 16 August, 2017
Elizabeth Stegemöller arranged a circle of metal folding chairs around a piano as clients started arriving for a weekly music therapy class for people with Parkinson’s disease. For the next hour, Stegemöller, an assistant professor of kinesiology at Iowa State University, will lead the class through a series of vocal exercises and songs. Singing uses […]
For White Middle Class, Moderate Drinking Is Linked to Cognitive Health in Old Age 15 August, 2017
Older adults who consume alcohol moderately on a regular basis are more likely to live to the age of 85 without dementia or other cognitive impairments than non-drinkers, according to a University of California San Diego School of Medicine-led study. Previous studies have found a correlation between moderate alcohol intake and longevity. “This study is […]
New Research Identifies Molecules That Could Help to Prevent the Development of Brain Tumours 15 August, 2017
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth’s Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence have identified molecules which are responsible for metastatic lung cancer cells binding to blood vessels in the brain. In order for a cancer cell to enter the brain, it must first bind to the cells which line the structure separating the blood from the brain […]
Getting Therapeutic Sound Waves Through Thick Skulls 14 August, 2017
Ceramic implant material developed at UC Riverside will expand the use of ultrasound to treat brain disorders and cancers Ultrasound brain surgery has enormous potential for the treatment of neurological diseases and cancers, but getting sound waves through the skull and into the brain is no easy task. To address this problem, a team […]
Missing Signals Lead to Diabetic Nerve Injury 14 August, 2017
New study out of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine suggests replenishing cell signaling molecules could improve symptoms Molecules that help cells communicate with each other—called cytokines—might be the key to repairing diabetic nerve damage. Diabetes devastates nerve cells, which can lead to poor circulation, muscle weakness, blindness, and other painful side effects. The […]
Caffeine Shortens Recovery Time From General Anesthesia 11 August, 2017
Stimulant promotes wakefulness through two different pathways Caffeine helps quickly boost wakefulness following general anesthesia, a new study finds. The stimulant—used daily by more than 90 percent of adults in the U.S.—appears to alter physiological function in two different ways to shorten recovery time. Caffeine works in two different ways to wake us up. […]
For Infants with Skull Flattening, Earlier Helmet Therapy Gives Better Results 11 August, 2017
For infants with skull flattening related to sleep position, starting helmet therapy at a younger age, especially before 24 weeks, increases the treatment success rate. “The present study shows that age at the start of treatment and positional plagiocephaly severity affect the duration and effectiveness of helmet therapy,” according to the report by Felix Kunz, […]
Genetic Testing Helps Detect Cause of Early Life Epilepsy 10 August, 2017
Study supports routine genetic testing for initial evaluation of seizures as the first step toward precision medicine and improved outcomes A study supports the use of genetic testing, especially with sequencing, as first-line diagnostic method for young children with seizures. Specific genetic factors were found to be the cause of epilepsy in 40 percent […]
Newly Discovered Biomarkers May Lead to Promising Diagnostic Tool for Alzheimer’s 10 August, 2017
Approach could offer stage-specific prognosis, open door to better treatment Diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and determining a patient’s prognosis is an inexact business, and that stands in the way of better personalized care and advances in treatment. First, the team of researchers discovered new physical biomarkers that could help pinpoint a diagnosis – changes to […]
