Filter by:All the patients hospitalized in the neuro-rehabilitation after a severe acquired brain injury carrying a tracheal cannula will be retrospectively analyzed. Patients coming from emergency department started a rehabilitative treatment during their hospitalization in ICU. Patients transferred from an external ICU started the rehabilitation in neurorehabilitation department. Aim of the study is to evaluate if an early rehabilitation, started since the acute stage of the damage, is able to reduce the decannulation time in this group of patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of injectable collagen scaffold combined with Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation in patients with brain injury.
Patients undergoing open heart surgery are at risk of suffering damage to the heart, brain and kidneys. This study is designed as a 2-by-2 randomized clinical trial with the purpose of investigating the organ protective effects of the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist Exenatide versus placebo and restrictive versus liberal oxygenation during weaning from cardio-pulmonary bypass.
Injury to the brain can change the core of a person's being, affecting brain functions necessary to accomplish important goals in a complex world. Deficits in attention, working memory, and other aspects of goal-directed cognition affect a broad range of pursuits in everyday life, and are among the most prevalent and long-lasting consequences of brain injuries. The objective of this research is to develop remotely deployed training tools that target the most common, persistent and debilitating cognitive functions affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI); test the potential effects of the intervention and compare these effects to an active comparison intervention; and determine the neurocognitive and functional effects of computer-assisted remote training.
This pilot study proposes to examine the effect of Rozerem on sleep/wake patterns among individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) experiencing sleep disturbance, using both objective and subjective measures. It will also show that improvement in sleep/wake patterns resulting from Rozerem will impact daytime functioning using objective and subjective measures.
This study is evaluating whether a bedside brainwave monitor can be used to detect early brain injury in premature infants.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the incidence of neuroendocrine dysfunction in patients with closed head injuries admitted to the Transitional Learning Community in Galveston, Texas, for rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the randomness of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol secretion using approximate entropy in patients who have sustained a head injury. II. Determine the correlation between randomness of ACTH and cortisol secretion and stages of sleep in these patients.
