  1. 1. Investigation of Injury Predictors for Rat Neuro Trauma

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Rosetta Maglio; [2024]
    Keywords : Finite element method; Rat brain traumatic brain injury; Rat brain finite element model; Strain; Strain rate; Product of strain and strain rate; Rotational direction; Rotational duration; Injury prediction; Finita elementmetoden; Råtthjärnans finita elementmodell; Belastning; Belastningshastighet; Produkten av belastning och belastningshastighet; Rotationsriktning; Rotationstid; Skadeförutsägelse;

    Abstract : A traumatic brain injury is usually caused by a direct impact to the head and is a common cause of disability and death all around the world. The most effective method to predict brain injury today, is to use a finite element head model. READ MORE

  2. 2. Traumatic brain injury and its impact on working memory : A systematic review

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Li Hallgren; Naema Adani Mohammed; [2023]
    Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; working memory; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; transcranial direct current stimulation;

    Abstract : The purpose of this systematic review is to provide insight into the impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on the executive function known as the working memory. TBI is a damage to the brain that occurs when the brain is critically injured to the degree that it impacts several brain regions and functions such as the hippocampus, its surrounding areas, the prefrontal cortex, and the performance of the working memory ability.

  3. 3. Localisation of Traumatic Brain Injury

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Yogesh Sharma; MIchael Zewde Hägglund; [2023]
    Keywords : Traumatic Brain Injury TBI ; Rat brain; Finite Element Method FEM ; strain; localisation; thalamus; hypothalamus; neocortex; Traumatisk hjärnskada TBI ; Råtthjärna; Finita Element Metod FEM ; belastning; lokalisering; thalamus; hypotalamus; neocortex;

    Abstract : TBI stands for Traumatic Brain Injury and refers to damage to the brain resulting from an external physical force, such as a blow, jolt, or penetrating injury to the head. Common causes of TBI include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and violence and has been linked to thousands of deaths and injuries in the US and the EU alike. READ MORE

  4. 4. Optic nerve sheath diameter semantic segmentation and feature extraction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Simone Bonato; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine Learning; Computer Vision; Image Segmentation; Medical Imaging; Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter; nnU-Net; Maskininlärning; datorseende; bildsegmentering; medicinsk bildbehandling; optisk nervslidsdiameter; nnU-Net;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects millions of people worldwide, leading to significant mortality and disability rates. Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from TBI can cause severe complications and requires early detection to improve patient outcomes. READ MORE

  5. 5. Sex-specific pathological response to Traumatic Brain Injury

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Christopher Fry; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of leading causes of death in the world; survivors commonly exhibit behavioural changes and neurocognitive defects in the long-term. Following TBI, rapid changes in the neurovascular unit (NVU) occur as the permeability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) increases and cerebral blood flow (CBF) becomes dysregulated. READ MORE
