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.
Grinker's myelinopathy, also known as anoxic leukoencephalopathy, [2] is a rare disease of the central nervous system. The disease is characterized by a delayed leukoencephalopathy after a hypoxic episode. [ 2 ]
Brain injury (BI) is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells. Brain injuries occur due to a wide range of internal and external factors. ... Prognosis, or the ...
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 ...
Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.
Actor Anne Heche is legally dead after suffering a "severe anoxic brain injury" due to a car accident in Los Angeles last week.
Diagnosis of brain injury involves neurological examination, EEG, brain imaging and/or biomarker evaluation (such as S100B and NSE). [6] For out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, brain injury is the cause of death in most patients who undergo ROSC but ultimately die.
Anne Heche may not recover from her injuries sustained in her car crash on Friday."Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical ...
