Mild hypothermia has been shown to exert apparent neuroprotective effects in animal models of diffuse axonal injury. However, the clinical efficacy of mild hypothermia is controversial. Thus, a ...

Researchers have taken another step toward identifying a biomarker for diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in patients with a concussion. They used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to highlight a cleaved protein ...

Key Points: Scientists continue to uncover the ways in which even mild brain injury influences the brain's functioning. Recent findings suggest that such injuries can have an impact on the structure ...

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often results in prolonged or permanent brain dysfunction with over 2.8 million affected annually in the US, including over 56,000 deaths, with over 5 million total ...

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), commonly referred to as 'concussion', affects over 1.7 million in the USA annually with costs of nearly US$17 billion. [1] Despite the name, these injuries are by ...

Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain ...
