Diffuse axonal injury

Concussion: a trauma induced altercation in mental statues that may or may not result in the loss of consciousness, (Source 2). Many athletes are at risk of getting concussed every time they step onto the field or onto the court. While concussions are not visible, like a broken arm may be, they are still extremely dangerous if left untreated. When a player is released onto the field too early after the sustain a concussion, they have a higher risk of getting another more severe concussion. According

Spinal cord trauma affects a multitude of individuals globally. Many common spinal cord injuries occur frequently from motor vehicle accidents, athletics, falls, and disease and are not curable (Center NSCISC 2013). Depending on the area that is damaged, there are numerous consequences of spinal cord injuries that affect the body in different ways. As individuals age, their susceptibility to such injuries significantly increases and is frequently caused by falling. However, anyone is susceptible

times riding or not to wear one. I do believe helmet’s laws should be reinforced, it should be mandatory to wear a helmet when you drive a motorcycle or even a bicyclist. Helmets should be mandatory for motorcycle drivers to keep them out from less injury risk, protect their faces from the climate control or even from bugs, and could prevent death. It is mandatory people in a car to wear a seat belt, but it is not require for bikers who are completely exposed. In my state safety goes first it is better

[ABSTRACT] Concussions are complex cerebral injuries that result in a series of metabolic events within the brain. The changes are seen in the fragile neuronal homeostatic balances where changes in the elevations of glutamate and potassium have been identified. The effects of concussions have also been seen in the functioning of the brain rather than in the structure of the brain itself. Being identified as mild traumatic brain injuries, occurring due to a bump or jolt to head or neck, concussions

issue as it could lead to brain trauma. Many people are affected by it and many more are vulnerable to it. But the impact isn't the real issue. The real issue is with the lack of healing and recovery. Healing time is crucial when it comes to head injuries and, according to the CDC, most athletes get around 7 days to recover compared to the recommended 1-2 months! Athletes sometimes don't even get time to recover and this could lead to long term effects in life. According to my personal experience

Traumatic brain injury may be the most prevalent and least understood neurological disorder in both civilian and military lifestyles. Every year there are thousands of traumatic brain injuries; in 2015, there were about 18,000 documented cases in the Military alone, Since 2000 there have been more than 339,000 reported cases.(DoD Worldwide Numbers for TBI. 2012) A traumatic brain injury or TBI is any damage to the brain from an applied force the forces involved can be from direct contact as in a

children, “25% to 30% die” and the others who are a victim of abuse will have “life-long complications” (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2011, p. 632). The pathophysiology of SBS consists of multiple factors, situational influences, and may exhibit secondary injuries (Hockenberry & Wilson, 2011, p. 632). In infants, SBS is more likely to

are a very serious involving contact sports. High school athletes are more likely to receive a brain injury than an older athlete. After receiving a concussion or any type of brain damage athletes should be required to sit out for a longer period of time. Concussions are caused by a direct hit to the head causing brain damage, which in this case leads to a concussion. These types of brain injuries are very dangerous and sometimes life threatening. If an athlete receives a concussion they are required

Most sports-related head injuries, such as concussions which is temporarily interference with the way the brain works are mild and allow for complete recovery. However, concussion in children can pose serious health. Therefore, as an MA I would explain a pediatric patient with a potential concussion during their visit, if there is any activity they could perform or not, and how long it will take time to heal their concussion. In addition, as the MA I will explain the risk concussion, and it symptoms

from head injuries, like concussions, if they take the time to properly manage the injury. Injured athletes should be required to sit out for longer periods of time to allow time for the brain to heal completely. The lack of rest time may lead to multiple concussions, permanent brain damage, and loss of memory or focus. Athletes need rest time in order to get back on the field in the future. Most athletes want to play their sport and take no time to rest. However, with a major injury like a concussion
