Brain injury as a result of oxygen deprivation either due to hypoxic or anoxic mechanisms are generally termed hypoxic/anoxic injuries (HAI). Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy ( HIE ) is a condition that occurs when the entire brain is deprived of an adequate oxygen supply, but the deprivation is not total.
Anoxic depolarization is a progressive and uncontrollable depolarization of neurons during stroke or brain ischemia in which there is an inadequate supply of blood to the brain. [1] Anoxic depolarization is induced by the loss of neuronal selective membrane permeability and the ion gradients across the membrane that are needed to support ...
Euxinic, anoxic conditions in the presence of hydrogen sulfide; Hypoxia (environmental), low oxygen conditions; Hypoxia (medicine), when the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply Cerebral anoxia, when the brain is completely deprived of oxygen, an extreme form of cerebral hypoxia
Brain injury (BI) is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells. Brain injuries occur due to a wide range of internal and external factors. In general, brain ...
Reflex anoxic seizures are a particular type of anoxic seizure, most commonly seen in young children in whom an anoxic seizure or syncope is provoked or precipitated by a noxious stimulus (hence "reflex"). Various precipitants have been identified, but the most common is an unexpected bump to the head.
Actor Anne Heche is legally dead after suffering a "severe anoxic brain injury" due to a car accident in Los Angeles last week.
"Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition," read the statement, sent on behalf of the actress's family ...
Anoxic injuries occur when the brain is cut off from oxygen, causing cell death. Heche, who was in the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital, remained in a coma and in critical condition ...
