Post Traumatic Brain Injury Research

Traumatic brain injury also known as TBI is a primary element of mortality and disability globally. This injury is caused by a strong force, such as a blow to the head. Bob Garrett (2011) addresses that TBIs are the cause of 52,00 deaths each year in the United States. Mishaps are a dominant cause of brain injuries, and many accidents occur when drugs and/or alcohol are related. Information reveals that a large number of people tested positive for consuming alcohol or illegal drugs when being admitted

Issue: Traumatic Brain syndrome in veterans Introduction: Soldiers returning from combat face a wide range of challenges in adjusting to civilian life. These challenges are compounded by the high susceptibility of combat-experienced soldiers to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and overlapping symptoms of traumatic brain syndrome. As the two articles considered hereafter demonstrate, the U.S. military has sought better ways of understanding the primary symptoms and health consequences of traumatic

Social Dysfunctions after Brain Injuries The topic that I chose to focus on for this assignment was the social dysfunctions such as learning and behavior in relations to traumatic brain injuries specifically within young adults and children. These traumatic injuries can range from a concussion to cracking one’s skull open during a fall. After reading the articles listed in the reference page, I have learned that those suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) have a drastic change in their quality

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death and disability among children, adolescents, and adults (Trudel, Scherer, & Elias, 2009, p.41). There are close to 1.4 million individuals a year who are treated with a TBI. Out of this 50,000 of them die. That is 1 out of every 28 people treated for a TBI dies every year. Another 6 out of 28 people are admitted into medical facilities for longer-term care. These number do not take in account the number of people each year with TBI’s

The frequency at which new psychiatric disorder ensue traumatic brain injuries is too common to be disregarded. The brain in and of itself is the most baffling element of human body and research into the correlation between traumatic brain injuries and the development of psychiatric disorders will be imperative in order to provided proper and accurate treatment to patients. Moreover, understanding the correlation between traumatic brain injuries and the development of psychiatric disorders may perhaps

A traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) occurs when the brain is somehow injured, rattled, or wounded from an external source of force. The means of acquisition and the severity of TBIs are unique to each patient; therefore, symptoms and rehabilitation can vary greatly depending on the patient’s condition following the incident and how they sustained the injury. The severity of a TBI is generally classified into one of three categories: mild, moderate, or severe, and this type of diagnostic criteria influences

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has emerged as a significant health issues during current the course of current conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, which affects military service members and veterans during the times of both peace and war. Other than the blast related TBI, which is mostly experienced by service members in war zone, a large no of civilian populations approximately 1.5 million per year suffer from non-blast traumatic brain injuries caused by car accidents, fall, sports-related accidents

these types of sports are at a significantly higher risk for developing long-term brain damage and cognitive impairment later in life. A concussion is a subset of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and results from shaking the brain within the skull. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (the “AANS”) has defined a concussion as “a clinical syndrome characterized by an immediate and transient alteration in brain function, including an alteration of mental status and level of consciousness, resulting

million people are victims of a traumatic brain injury (Reeves and Panguluri, 2011). Furthermore, the World Health Organization estimates that traumatic brain injuries will be the leading cause of death by the year 2020 (Ganesalingam et al, 2006). Although this is pervasive societal issue, the vast majority of experiments on this issue focuses on adults, although fatalities are higher amongst adolescents. As a result of their injury, children with traumatic brain injuries experience cognitive deficits
