and apoptotic marker fractin], we tested the hypothesis that widespread (diffuse) axonal injury occurs in the gliotic white matter beyond the foci of necrosis in PVL, thus contributing to the ...

Abstract: DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY (DAI) is a b rain injury characterized by prolonged traumatic coma not due to mass lesions that has dysfunction or structural damage to brain axons. DAI can be produced ...

Crash safety is evolving, and a new metric could help better evaluate brain injury risks caused by rotational forces during ...

The IIHS will begin evaluating how well vehicles protect occupants from rotational brain injuries.

Abstract: Diffusion imaging and postmortem studies of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) of the concussive type are consistent with the observations of diffuse axonal injury to the white ...

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, a diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs when the brain's long nerve fibers (axons) are torn due to the brain shifting and rotating within the skull during an injury.

Objective To present a case of complete functional recovery, achieving pre-morbid levels of functioning, after sustaining a severe v TBI (GCS: 8; PTA: 9 days) with neuro-radiological evidence of grade ...

Until now, there has not been an effective way to assess the risk of rotational brain injury in crash tests. However, thanks ...

Penetrating brain injury. Penetrating, or open head injuries happen when there is a break in the skull, such as when a bullet pierces the brain. Diffuse axonal injury is the shearing (tearing) of the ...

“We are overjoyed to share that Jamie is now off the respirator and breathing on his own!” Carrie Lajeunesse wrote on a ...

Occasionally, MRI would demonstrate microhemorrhages, which were felt to be diffuse axonal injury, but of unclear clinical significance. In the majority of cases, however, not even ...
