Treatment of the loss of autoregulation of the brain's blood vessels may be difficult or impossible. [29] When SIS occurs, surgery does not help and there is little hope for recovery. [ 23 ] Treatment requires immediate recognition and includes administration of osmotic agents and hyperventilation [ 23 ] in order to lower intracranial pressure.
Brain healing is the process that occurs after the brain has been damaged. If an individual survives brain damage, the brain has a remarkable ability to adapt. When cells in the brain are damaged and die, for instance by stroke, there will be no repair or scar formation for those cells.
Around the same time, Brunnstrom also described the process of recovery, and divided the process into seven stages. As knowledge of the science of brain recovery improved, intervention strategies have evolved. Knowledge of strokes and the process of recovery after strokes has developed significantly in the late 20th century and early 21st century.
Jake Haendel was diagnosed with a terminal brain illness that triggered locked-in syndrome, which left him unable to move or speak The 36-year-old was in the coma-like state for 10 months as ...
Researchers have investigated the relationship between posttraumatic amnesia (PTA) resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the development of symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and acute stress disorder (ASD). 282 outpatients, who were an average of 53 days post-TBI in their recovery, were divided into four groups: PTA ...
Much research and focus has been given to concussion suffered frequently by athletes. While the severity of brain trauma has been standardized for immediate "sideline" assessment, much work needs to be done to understand how to rehabilitate or accelerate the rehabilitation of athletes' brain function following serious concussion—whether consciousness is lost or a dazed/confused feeling is ...
The 26-year-old athlete will remain in the coma "for as long as the doctors deem it appropriate," a spokesperson for the Czech ski federation said
The diagnosis is usually made by a brain scan , in which areas of swelling can be identified. The treatment for PRES is supportive: removal of the cause or causes and treatment of any of the complications, such as anticonvulsants for seizures. PRES may be complicated by intracranial hemorrhage, but this is relatively rare. The majority of ...
