Disease relevance of Head Injuries, Penetrating

• Epilepsy after penetrating head injury. I. Clinical correlates: a report of the Vietnam Head Injury Study [1].
• Patients were excluded if they had duplex evidence of DVT or clinical evidence of pulmonary embolus (PE) preoperatively, had hypersensitivity to heparin or related products, had sustained a penetrating head injury, or refused informed consent [2].
• Quantitive imaging in late traumatic brain injury. Part I: late imaging parameters in closed and penetrating head injuries [3].

High impact information on Head Injuries, Penetrating

• Penetrating brain injury leads to activation of ciliary neurotrophic factor receptors [4].
• Neuroprotective effects of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) following a penetrating brain injury in rats [5].
• This study was undertaken in order to investigate the role of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II, c-fos, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, and nNOS in the cellular processes following a penetrating brain injury [6].
• To our knowledge, this is the first report on frequent serial assessment of cerebral extraction of oxygen and lactate production in severe penetrating head injury [7].
• Dimethyl sulfoxide therapy following penetrating brain injury [8].

Anatomical context of Head Injuries, Penetrating

• Epilepsy following penetrating head injury to the frontal lobes. Effects on cognition [9].

Gene context of Head Injuries, Penetrating

• Here we analyzed the response to penetrating brain injury in mice lacking the type 1 IL-1 receptor (IL-1R1) to determine which cellular and molecular mediators of tissue damage require IL-1 signaling [10].
• Subjects were matched for age, admission GCS score, level of education, and aetiology of injury (closed vs penetrating head injury) [11].
• Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performance based on location and size of neuroanatomical lesion in Vietnam veterans with penetrating head injury [12].
