1. 6. Reanalysis of primate head impact experiments to clarify mild traumatic brain injury kinematics and thresholds

   Författare :Jacobo Antona; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; simulation; Brain; finite element; injury criteria;

   Sammanfattning : Fatalities and severe injuries due to road traffic accidents still represent a serious health and economic issue intoday’s society. Brain injuries are the most common severe injuries and these injuries account for more than half ofthe 1.3 million traffic related deaths annually worldwide. LÄS MER

3. 7. Detection and outcome of mild traumatic brain injury in patients and sportsmen : persisting symptoms, disabilities and life satisfaction in relation to S-100B, NSE and cortisol

   Författare :Britt-Marie Stålnacke; Peter Sojka; Jörgen Borg; Umeå universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injuries are common (hospitalization incidence: 250-300 per 100.000 inhabitants/year) and a great majority of these injuries (80-85%) are classified as mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI/concussion). Many patients with MTBI (20-80%) suffer from subsequent persistent and often disabling symptoms. LÄS MER

4. 8. Studies on head trauma complications with special reference to mild traumatic brain injury

   Författare :Catharina Nygren de Boussard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :MTBI; brain concussion; S 100; long-term concequences;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a recognised public health problem. Patients with mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) represent the main part of the total TBI population attending hospital. LÄS MER

5. 9. Intracranial Compliance and Secondary Brain Damage. Experimental and Clinical Studies in Traumatic Head Injury

   Författare :Konstantin Salci; Per Enblad; Pelle Nilsson; Peter Hutchinsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Neurosciences; Traumatic brain injury; Intracranial compliance; Secondary insults; Microdialysis; Neurointensive care; Neurovetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) renders the brain more vulnerable to secondary insults. The increased vulnerability can probably be explained by a combination of disturbances in hemodynamics, metabolism and craniospinal dynamics. Reduced ability to compensate for added intracranial volume, i.e. LÄS MER

7. 10. Towards improved motorcycle helmet test methods for head impact protection : Using experimental and numerical methods

   Författare :Shiyang Meng; Svein Kleiven; Peter Halldin; Mazdak Ghajari; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Head Injuries; Helmet; Injury Prevention; Motorcycle; Test Standard; Finite Element Method; Applied Medical Technology; Tillämpad medicinsk teknik;

   Sammanfattning : Head injury is the leading cause of death and major trauma for users of powered two-wheelers (PTWs). Helmet use can prevent and reduce head injuries when a crash is inevitable. However, today’s motorcycle helmets do not protect equally against all types of head injuries. LÄS MER
