The combined use of hyperbaric oxygen and normobaric hyperoxia therapies provides better outcomes in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) as compared to standard intensive neurosurgical care, researchers at the Hennepin County Medical Center, the University of Minnesota, and the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation (Minneapolis, Minnesota) report. Full details on the effects of this combined treatment are provided in the paper "A prospective, randomized ...

Researchers have not been able to fully crack the brain's "neural code despite many remarkable discoveries in the field of neuroscience during the past several decades. The neural code details how the brain's roughly 100 billion neurons turn raw sensory inputs into information we can use to see, hear and feel things in our environment. In a perspective article published in the journal iNature Neuroscience/i on Feb. 25, 2013, biomedical engineering professor ...
In launching a (Dollar) 60 million research program aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries, the National Football League joined GE, a world leader in medical imaging. The four-year Head Health Initiative, guided by healthcare experts, aims to improve athlete concussion safety with innovations that could be used by soldiers as well as in society. Part of the program in conjunction with sportswear maker Under Armour includes an ...
Based on laboratory studies, Johns Hopkins researchers claim to have found that stem cells from a patient's own fat may have the potential to deliver new treatments directly into the brain after the surgical removal of a glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumor. The investigators say so-called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have an unexplained ability to seek out damaged cells, such as those involved in cancer, and may provide clinicians a ...
A recent study explores link between low cognitive score and risk of traumatic brain injury. Researchers from Umea University in Sweden therefore carried out a nationwide study on over 300,000 young men who were conscripted for military service in Sweden between 1989 and 1994, all of whom took part in a cognitive test. Average follow-up was 19 years. The main outcome was mild traumatic brain injuries in relation to cognitive function and other ...
