SPONSOR'S INFORMATION Colleagues, Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health concern. According to the NIH, traumatic brain injury (TBI) results principally from vehicular incidents, falls, acts of violence, and sports injuries and is more than twice as likely in males than in females. Prevalence is estimated to be 2.5 million to 6.5 million individuals. TBI may result in lifelong impairment of an individual's physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. Today's FPN touches on some of this issues related to TBI. Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues

What Are the Cognitive and Communication Problems That Result From Traumatic Brain Injury? How Are the Cognitive and Communication Problems Assessed? ... Where Can I Get Additional Information? What Is Traumatic Brain Injury? Traumatic brain injury is sudden physical damage to the brain. The damage may be caused by the head forcefully hitting an object such as the dashboard of a car (closed head injury) or by something passing through the skull and piercing the brain, as in a gunshot wound (penetrating head injury). The major causes of head trauma are motor vehicle accidents. Other causes include falls, sports injuries, violent crimes, and child abuse. The physical, behavioral, or mental changes that may result from head trauma depend on the areas of the brain that are injured. Most injuries cause focal brain damage, damage confined to a small area of the brain. The focal damage is most often at the point where the head hits an object or where an object, such as a bullet, enters the brain. In addition to focal damage, closed head injuries frequently cause diffuse brain injuries or damage to several other areas of the brain. The diffuse damage occurs when the impact of the injury causes the brain to move back and forth against the inside of the bony skull. The frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, the major speech and language areas, often receive the most damage in this way because they sit in pockets of the skull that allow more room for the brain to shift and sustain injury. Because these major speech and language areas often receive damage, communication difficulties frequently occur following closed head injuries. Other problems may include

Videos ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials print this ... email this Overview Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is damage to the brain caused by a blow to the head. The severity of the injury may range from minor, with few or no lasting consequences, to major, resulting in profound disability or death. Although any injury to the brain is serious, and severe damage can be fatal, medical and surgical advances have improved the odds for surviving a TBI. Nevertheless, coping with the life-changing consequences of traumatic brain injury presents a great challenge for patients, families, physicians, therapists, and society. Anatomy The brain is the hub of the central nervous system and controls all bodily functions and processes. It weighs about three pounds and is surrounded by protective bone called the skull or cranium. The brain has the texture of gelatin and is held together by three layers of membranes called the dura, pia, and arachnoid. Between the pia and arachnoid membranes is the subarachnoid space, through which a network of arteries and veins carries blood to and from the heart. Injury to these blood vessels can lead to blood clots, which can exert damaging pressure against the brain’s delicate tissue. The brain is surrounded by a cushioning reservoir of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Children aged 5 and younger are also at high risk for TBI. This computer-generated graphic shows how, in 1848, a 3-foot long, pointed rod penetrated the skull of Phineas Gage, a railway construction foreman. The rod entered at the top of his head, passed through his brain, and exited his skull by his temple. Gage survived the accident but suffered lasting personality and behavioral problems.

RELATED TOPICS Anesthesia Birth Injury/Trauma Brain Injuries/Trauma Breast Cancer ... Dangerous Pharmaceuticals Eleven Penn Center 1835 Market Street Suite 2600 Philadelphia, PA 19103 Brain Injury/Trauma According to a leading medical treaties, in a twelve month period nearly ten million Americans suffer from some degree of head injury, and approximately two hundred thousand of these injury victims sustain brain damage. Harm to the brain can result from blunt trauma to the head, even where the blow has left no obvious external injury. When a head wound results from someone's culpable conduct, the injured person is entitled to seek compensation for all of his or her damages stemming from the injury. Damages from such closed head injuries (where there is no skull penetration) can include physical injuries such as speech or sensory impairments, headaches, paralysis or seizure disorders, cognitive disabilities such as memory deficits or concentration deficits, emotional impairment including mood swings, anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, loss of emotional control or agitation for no apparent reason. Oftentimes especially where there was no substantial external wound to the skull, claims of some of the above-described injuries, will be met with skepticism. Certain injuries resulting from head trauma can be especially difficult to prove and may not be immediately obvious or readily measurable. Physical problems such as frequent severe headaches, are manifested mainly through the person's subjective complaints. The organic cause of one's emotional or cognitive impairments, (mood swings, agitation, memory loss, etc.) resulting from head trauma may not be instantly apparent, in that people naturally function differently in the cognitive and emotional zones. Although proof of an injury (i.e., a definite loss of ability to function) in such areas can be a challenge, it is accomplished on a regular basis by skilled practitioners.
