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.
