Brain Damage: Article Analysis

Children have multiple or prolonged exposure to trauma, experience various symptoms and reactions, and long for progressive techniques to heal their pain.

The authors/researchers began with one hundred twenty brains that were divided into the following groups: 97 brains from SIDS victims and 23 from victims which died having no occurrence of brain damage.

Research is continually being conducted everyday with this common disorder. Many parents main concerns is the use of medication to treat their child. Many doctors nowadays show the parents the current research of studies being done and their effectiveness as well as providing papers for families for their willingness to participate in ongoing studies to better help understand their childs disorder and the best way to treat it ( Görtz-dorten, Breuer, Hautmann, Rothenberger, Döpfner, 2011).

During November in 2012, Tufts University student Dylan Williams was walking home from a library when he was hit by a vehicle while walking down a crosswalk. Dylan’s head went through the windshield. He was rushed to the nearest hospital in an ambulance. Luckily, the nearest hospital was Massachusetts General which has a phenomenal trauma center as well as intensive care for neurosciences. The quick removal of the bad fluids via a drain tube, ridding pressure from Dylan’s head, saved him from having to remove a portion of his skull.

Childhood is a time for playdates and learning, a time for big dreams and imaginary adventures. Safety and security should not be questions that linger in uncertainty. However, this is not the case for many children across the globe. Thousands of children from all walks of life each day are faced with unspeakable horror and must deal with the resulting trauma from then on. However, in children, managing this trauma takes a different toll on the mind and heart than it does in adults. While the type of trauma may vary in pervasiveness across countries, trauma occurring in childhood has the ability to cause long term damage to the growing neurological functioning in the brain and negatively influence children’s spiritual development, wounding

This article is a example of a foundation of knowledge on the topic of therapeutic hypothermia. Gardner & MacDonald discuss that the typical post cardiac arrest patient does not survive or will recover with severe neurologic deficits as a result of ischemic brain injury from lack of blood flow to the brain (2013). The process of brain death is examined as well as the damange that occurs with reperfusion after ROSC. Damage particularly to the cerebral cortex, cerebellum and hypothalamus can leave the patient in a comatose state if revived (Gardner & MacDonald, 2013). This article is particuarlly valuable as it explains on a physiological level how TH protects the brain from reperfusion injury and improves neurologic outcomes and survivability. The article defends that TH is the best practice for preventing further neurologic damage after ROSC and provides a clinical example. The clinical example recounts a case in which a patient suffered an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Upon admission to the ICU the therapeutic hypothermia protocol was initiated and the patient was cooled below 35 degrees celcius for 24 hours. After rewarming the patient regained consciousness and within ten days was discharged from the hospital with normal neurologic function and as a survivor (Gardner & MacDonald,

The term “traumatic brain injury” (TBI) refers to a brain injury caused by trauma rather than disease, vascular accidents, or alcohol. Incidences of Traumatic Brain Injury have had a significant surge as they are more recognized by the medical profession. Occurring in many different ways; falls, sports, clumsiness, car accidents, tumors, surgery, mentality, etc, TBI is “...the most common form of brain injury in the modern Western world predominantly affecting young adults, many of whom suffer

Central Idea: Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children and I want to discuss how to prevent it. In this speech, I will discuss lifeguarding techniques and demonstrate CPR.

Any type of injury that affects the brain, scalp or skull can be classified as a brain injury. It is also known as a head injury. Brain injuries are extremely common. In fact, it is estimated that two million people suffer a brain injury each year. Fifty percent of people who suffer a brain injury are hospitalized.

The article states that brain injury occurs when there is a loss of oxygen carrying blood flow to the brain. This damage starts at the cellular level and leads to neurological dysfunction.

What do we really know about concussions? Let's think about this, concussions are caused when there is either an acceleration that transpires when the head is at rest and jerked into motion or deceleration when the head in motion but stop abruptly. Examples of this is a severe blow to the head and the result of that sudden movement causing the brain to become short- circuit which result in a traumatic brain injury (Drysdale,2013). This affects players in physical sports like football, hockey or boxing. In this paper I will show that brain injuries play a role in NFL player and our youth which are some of the main causes of delayed cognitive and mental issues that affect them throughout their lifetime even though they no longer play the

Fresh lacerations of size 3x3cm running laterally clearly indicates that the deceased was tied with the very same rope which is used for hanging as the size of laceration and the size of oblique mark on the neck are same in size i.e.

The human brain is a complex structure that gives an individual the cognitive ability to perform a variety of actions. The cerebellum, hypothalamus, hippocampus and Wernicke’s area of the brain work together to help coordinate different impulses and actions. A regular activity- such as bathing my daughter would become severely hampered if damage were to occur in these areas of the brain.

It is shown that the brain never rests, not even when you leave your mind free. Why would not having mental activity: thinking not just to think, reflect and remember in a conscious and deliberate, but also to imagine, fantasize, take care and be carried by free association.

CPR or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is helping people who drowning in the water. everybody can drowning even swimmer cause of people drowning by muscle contraction or cramp. in the fresh water we find victims more than in the salt water so if we know how we can help them we will decrease amount of deceased but if we do the wrong ways the victims will die.
