Oxford Major Trauma Centre: How to assess post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) in patients with traumatic brain injury. Comment: Dr Alice Murnane was able to explain this to my mum ie contra-coups as explained in third video. Neuropsychologist (Martina McEnroe O’Connor) findings 1994 – executive function identified. Risk: poor identification is very interesting and relevant to me. This video deserves more attention. The explanations are profound. “It can be really like dealing with a child aged 5”. Many of these people end up “Custodial” and eventually in a care home. Please note that many people with this damage can end up in prison. There is a loss to anticipate risks. Includes difficulties with speech. There is what is called “Poverty of Speech” … I hate this dimension. Perservation ie to repeat a behaviour over and over is yet another dimension. Recommend Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI). NB people with TBI: “Our brains age faster”. A little hope over the next 40 years in the area of stem cells worth thinking about.

============================

Attorney Gordon Johnson, Jr. of the Brain Injury Law Group explains why amnesia is the most important factor in TBI diagnosis. Attorney Johnson discuss retrograde amnesia and the types of questions that should be asked after a head injury. The concussion that has relatively little amnesia in all likelihood will probably not be that serious. Amnesia is the one thing that could be identified in the emergency room that rarely gets identified.

This video is about the most common cause of the symptoms behind Traumatic Brain Injury: Diffuse Axonal Injury. In this video we take a look at the mechanism behind DAI, the pathophysiology of Diffuse Axonal Injury, How DAI severity is graded, and what prognosis is likely to be following DAI. We also talk about prospective treatment and what we can currently do today for DAI.
