Incidental Findings in Trauma Patients Spark Concerns for Physicians
Nearly one-fifth of trauma patients who undergo CT evaluation have incidental findings, according to a study performed by Columbus Radiology Corp. at Grant Medical Center in Columbus, OH. view more (2009-03-04)
New discovery about the formation of new brain cells
The generation of new nerve cells in the brain is regulated by a peptide known as C3a, which directly affects the stem cells' maturation into nerve cells and is also important for the migration of new nerve cells through the brain tissue, reveals new research from the Sahlgrenska Academy published in the journal Stem Cells. view more (2009-11-24)
A new insight on ethanol-induced gastric mucosa injury
Many people all over the world indulge themselves in drinking, which is correlated to a wide spectrum of medical, psychological, behavioral, and social problems. view more (2008-10-24)
Falls from bouncy chairs or car seats significant cause of injury in babies
Falls from bouncy chairs or car seats are a significant cause of injury in very young children, finds research in Archives of Disease in Childhood. view more (2002-02-18)
Groin injuries averted by preseason injury prevention
Professional soccer players who participated in a special preseason groin injury prevention program had fewer groin injuries during that subsequent season than those who were not in the program. view more (2007-07-12)
Traumatic brain injury caused by exposure to explosive blast presents critical challenge
Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (TBI) has reached critical levels in modern-day warfare. view more (2009-06-19)
U of MN researchers identify new cord blood stem cell
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have discovered a new population of cells in human umbilical cord blood that have properties of primitive stem cells. view more (2006-02-14)
Harvard researchers publish MRI images of genes in action in the living brain
Biologists have just confirmed what poets have known for centuries: eyes really are windows of the soul-or at least of the brain. view more (2008-03-31)
HIV in the nervous system - still a cause for concern?
HIV infection can be controlled with antiretroviral drugs, but it cannot be wiped out. New evidence suggests that low levels of HIV may still lead to long-term brain damage and dementia, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick. "There is concern for... view more... (2002-04-02)
Fatigue is an important factor in serious road crashes
Fatigue, especially when combined with alcohol, presents a particularly high risk of road crashes resulting in death or serious injury, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data from the French Ministry of Transport was used to investigate the role of fatigue in serious, single-vehicle crashes during 1994-8. About 10% of the crashes were related to... view more...

UCLA study helps ER physicians identify previously undetectable spinal injuries
A new national study indicates that patients with a cervical spinal injury (CSI) may harbor additional spinal damage not visible on regular x-rays. view more (2005-09-07)
Knee injuries may start with strain on the brain, not the muscles
New research shows that training your brain may be just as effective as training your muscles in preventing ACL knee injuries, and suggests a shift from performance-based to prevention-based athletic training programs. view more (2009-07-27)
New study identifies key gene in development of connections between brain and spinal cord
A new study, presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's (ACNP) Annual Meeting, has identified a specific gene that is necessary for the development of connections between the brain and the spinal cord. view more (2005-12-14)
Medication use linked to farmers' injuries
Older farmers are at high risk for injury when they stop taking prescribed pain medications, shows a study done in part by the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. view more (2006-07-10)
Therapeutic hypothermia is promising strategy to minimize tissue damage
Recognition of the benefits of cooling strategies to protect the brain and spinal cord after traumatic injury has led to a wealth of cutting edge research, prime examples of which are featured in a special hypothermia issue of Journal of Neurotrauma. view more (2009-03-20)
Over £4 million in injuries compensation awarded every year to victims of bar brawls
More than £4 million in criminal injuries compensation is awarded every year to victims of bar brawls, with glasses involved in more serious claims than bottles, shows research in Injury Prevention. Despite the increasing adoption of toughened glassware in the UK in licensed premises over the past decade, injuries from glasses and bottles... view more... (2003-03-17)
Progesterone shows promise as treatment for traumatic brain injuries
Emory University researchers have found that giving progesterone to trauma victims shortly following brain injury appears to be safe and may reduce the risk of death and the degree of disability. view more (2006-10-02)
Stem cell therapy for spinal injury
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown how the transplantation of stem cells improves recovery from spinal injury. However, a painful condition can also develop, which can be prevented if the stem cells are supplemented with a certain gene that controls their maturing process. The results are important for planning of stem cell therapy... view more... (2005-02-13)
Radiologists and engineers develop a modified catheter to reduce contrast material injuries
Though rare, IV contrast material administration can sometimes result in patient injury. However researchers have developed a modified catheter that may prevent such events from occurring. view more (2009-09-21)
Drawing a crowd: Understanding the signals that bring inflammatory cells into the lung
Understanding the connection between influx of immune cells into the lung and acute lung injury is essential, since lung damage tends to occur secondary to increased lung inflammation. view more (2006-02-17)
