I, Sean David Nave, started to write many letters for a group, because I have trouble
with what the office says is what a group should be. I what to have a website, so we can
start a money and information site, about Brain Injury, for all kinds of Brain Injury, ( Brain
Injury, Bell's Palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy \
Lumpkin’s Palsy ). This is why I fight so hard, because I have many friends of Hartwick
here, and I know other people would come.
Mr. Frank R. Lautenberg, it was suggested that you would be the best person to
speak with. I do not know if this letter will ever get to you, and I hope that everything is
spelled correctly. You are the first person to read this letter, in its entity
I was injured two times, once at birth, in Israel, when born three months premature.
And again, over two and one half years ago, when I let someone else drive my car, I ended
up in cognitive rehab again. I have had Cerebral Palsy since birth, and since around two
years to date, I have had to relearn how to live my life the way I used to, enjoyably. I came
to the United States of America from Israel, my homeland, when I was two and a half years
old. The first state I lived in was Ohio, in the city of Toledo. My immediate family and I next
relocated to New Jersey. My parents both came firstly from Romania, next to Israel in
finality the United States of America where I live and now with my brain disorder to divulge
my knowledge and articulation in knowing all three languages of my homelands. What I
want to make people aware of is that Brain Damage affects a huge amount of people. This
is why I want to make things like pens, caps, and pamphlets with the slogan ―One Fight for
People with Brain Injury‖ because people know me as a nice human being and I seriously
care about all people, even those less fortunate than myself and others I know.
I wrote the over 267 pages document of stuff that I want to do. I have a plan of
divulging awareness, and helping all people I am acquainted with now and in the future,
thou it I need assistance on all sides. Part of my idea is to have a website with all of our
problems, and then a little bit about everyone I know now and our hopes for the forthcoming
future. I hope to be acquainted with all I am able to know. Then we can to complete other
enjoyable tasks, like selling items to raise awareness and discussing our lives with one
another. My dream is to one day have meetings about Brain Injury and our afflictions which
we are getting used to living with. What I am fully capable of enterprising is a business plan.
This means that I want to talk about life with all people I know, and work on selling
and teaching all about Brain Injury, and brain related afflictions. I want to help all I can
because as one of my friends told me, I am a great human being and the world needs me,
Sean (Shai) Nave. I am asking all Universal Institute students to voice their opinion and tell
the people who work for Universal Institute Inc. that we need to do this! So I have to make a
plan to make a website with allot of stuff on it. To make a Brain Injury site for all five brain
injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s
Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and set up a site within the site for:
Links to other sites, Chat Rooms, Songs and Poems, and Selling Pens, Brochures, and
Hats.
I want to make a Group, internally first, and then when we are ready, in two to four
years, go online with all the information and sell pens and brochures with ―Support Brain
Injury Recovery‖, and Hats that say the same thing.
What do you think?
Do you see what I want to do, to make a website with allot of s tuff on it? To make a
Brain Injury site for all five brain injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's palsy, Cerebral Palsy,
Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and set up a site within
the site for: Links to other sites, Chat rooms , Songs and Poems, Selling Pens, Brochures,
and Hats. I really need to have a test like I did at JFK that I do not remember, because this
does not work!
I am tired of being treated like I am a child, by other people other than you, because
that is what you are doing to me. I am improving myself slowly, and I what to make a
website for all the Cerebral palsy and Brain Injury people on the web, and then Bell's palsy,
Obstetrical Brachial Plexus palsy, and Ebb’s palsy / Lumpkin’s palsy, because I cannot find
what they have in common, with Cerebral palsy or Brain Injury, but I know there is a link.
What I am trying so hard for is because I have two injuries to my brain there is not a
place for me. I was always the one without a place. And now I am 30, and it does not seem
like I will find a wife. Look at me, I always had I problem with wetting myself. Now at lease
you do not see I am trying to make a group that I can talk to, because I cannot talk to a
person that does not know what it’s like. So what if I want to sell Pens, Brochures, and other
stuff, I am thinking it will take three to five years to make the site, and it will be enough time
to make enough money to see if I am right.
You know it is sad that, the one thing I can put my mind on is how to make a group, and
how to make money. To make a Brain Injury site for all five brain injuries: Brain Injury, Bell's
palsy, Cerebral Palsy, Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy, Ebb’s Palsy / Lumpkin’s Palsy, and
set up a site within the site for:
Thank you.

Traumatic Brain Injury: Hope through Research
Traumatic Brain Injury
Introduction
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem, especially among male
adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 24, and among elderly people of both sexes 75
years and older. Children aged 5 and younger are also at high risk for TBI.
Perhaps the most famous TBI patient in the history of medicine was Phones Gage. In 1848,
Gage was a 25-year-old railway construction foreman working on the Rutland and
Burlington Railroad in Vermont. In the 19th century, little was understood about the brain
and even less was known about how to treat injury to it. Most serious injuries to the brain
resulted in death due to bleeding or infection. Gage was working with explosive powder and
a packing rod, called a tamping iron, when a spark caused an explosion that propelled the
3-foot long, pointed rod through his head. It penetrated his skull at the top of his head,
passed through his brain, and exited the skull by his temple. Amazingly, he survived the
accident with the help of physician John Harlow who treated Gage for 73 days. Before the
accident Gage was a quiet, mild-mannered man; after his injuries he became an obscene,
obstinate, self-absorbed man. He continued to suffer personality and behavioral problems
until his death in 1861.
This computer-generated graphic shows how, in 1848, a 3-foot long, pointed rod penetrated
the skull of Phones Gage, a railway construction foreman. The rod entered at the top of his
head, passed through his brain, and exited his skull by his temple. Gage survived the
accident but suffered lasting personality and behavioral problems.
Today, we understand a great deal more about the healthy brain and its response to
trauma, although science still has much to learn about how to reverse damage resulting
from head injuries.
TBI costs the country more than $56 billion a year, and more than 5 million Americans alive
today have had a TBI resulting in a permanent need for help in performing daily activities.
Survivors of TBI are often left with significant cognitive, behavioral, and communicative
disabilities, and some patients develop long-term medical complications, such as epilepsy.
Other statistics dramatically tell the story of head injury in the United States. Each year:
Approximately 1.4 million people experience a TBI,
Approximately 50,000 people die from head injury,
Approximately 1 million head-injured people are treated in hospital emergency rooms, and
Approximately 230,000 people are hospitalized for TBI and survive.
What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?
TBI, also called acquired brain injury or simply head injury, occurs when a sudden trauma
causes damage to the brain. The damage can be focal - confined to one area of the brain -
or diffuse - involving more than one area of the brain. TBI can result from a closed head
injury* or a penetrating head injury. A closed injury occurs when the head suddenly and
violently hits an object but the object does not break through the skull. A penetrating injury
occurs when an object pierces the skull and enters brain tissue.
* Terms in Italics are defined in the Glossary.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of TBI?
Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the
damage to the brain. Some symptoms are evident immediately, while others do not surface
until several days or weeks after the injury. A person with a mild TBI may remain conscious
or may experience a loss of consciousness for a few seconds or minutes. The person may
also feel dazed or not like himself for several days or weeks after the initial injury. Other
symptoms of mild TBI include headache, confusion, lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred
vision or tired eyes, ringing in the ears, bad taste in the mouth, fatigue or lethargy, a change
in sleep patterns, behavioral or mood changes, and trouble with memory, concentration,
attention, or thinking.
A person with a moderate or severe TBI may show these same symptoms, but may also
have a headache that gets worse or does not go away, repeated vomiting or nausea,
convulsions or seizures, inability to awaken from sleep, dilation of one or both pupils of the
eyes, slurred speech, weakness or numbness in the extremities, loss of coordination, and/or
increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation. Small children with moderate to severe TBI
may show some of these signs as well as signs specific to young children, such as
persistent crying, inability to be consoled, and/or refusal to nurse or eat. Anyone with signs
of moderate or severe TBI should receive medical attention as soon as possible.
Half of all TBIs are due to transportation accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles,
bicycles, and pedestrians. These accidents are the major cause of TBI in people under age
75. For those 75 and older, falls cause the majority of TBIs. Approximately 20 percent of
TBIs are due to violence, such as firearm assaults and child abuse, and about 3 percent are
due to sports injuries. Fully half of TBI incidents involve alcohol use.
The cause of the TBI plays a role in determining the patient's outcome. For example,
approximately 91 percent of firearms TBIs (two-thirds of which may be suicidal in intent)
result in death, while only 11 percent of TBIs from falls result in death.
Transportation accidents involving automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians
account for half of all TBIs and are the major cause of TBIs in people under age 75.
What Are the Different Types of TBI?
Concussion is the most minor and the most common type of TBI. Technically, a concussion
is a short loss of consciousness in response to a head injury, but in common language the
term has come to mean any minor injury to the head or brain.
Other injuries are more severe. As the first line of defense, the skull is particularly
vulnerable to injury. Skull fractures occur when the bone of the skull cracks or breaks. A
depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue of the
brain. A penetrating skull fracture occurs when something pierces the skull, such as a bullet,
leaving a distinct and localized injury to brain tissue.
Skull fractures can cause bruising of brain tissue called a contusion. A contusion is a distinct
area of swollen brain tissue mixed with blood released from broken blood vessels. A
contusion can also occur in response to shaking of the brain back and forth within the
confines of the skull, an injury called. Countercoup... This injury often occurs in car
accidents after high-speed stops and in shaken baby syndrome, a severe form of head
injury that occurs when a baby is shaken forcibly enough to cause the brain to bounce
against the skull. In addition, countercoup can cause diffuse axonal injury, also called
shearing, which involves damage to individual nerve cells (neurons) and loss of connections
among neurons. This can lead to a breakdown of overall communication among neurons in
the brain.
Damage to a major blood vessel in the head can cause a hematoma, or heavy bleeding into
or around the brain. Three types of hematomas can cause brain damage. An epidural
hematoma involves bleeding into the area between the skull and the durra. With a subdural
hematoma, bleeding is confined to the area between the durra and the arachnoids
membrane. Bleeding within the brain itself is called intracerebral hematoma .
Another insult to the brain that can cause injury is anoxia. Anoxia is a condition in which
there is an absence of oxygen supply to an organ's tissues, even if there is adequate blood
flow to the tissue. Hypoxia refers to a decrease in oxygen supply rather than a complete
absence of oxygen. Without oxygen, the cells of the brain die within several minutes. This
type of injury is often seen in near drowning victims, in heart attack patients, or in people
who suffer significant blood loss from other injuries that decrease blood flow to the brain.
What Medical Care Should a TBI Patient Receive?
Medical care usually begins when paramedics or emergency medical technicians arrive on
the scene of an accident or when a TBI patient arrives at the emergency department of a
hospital. Because little can be done to reverse the initial brain damage caused by trauma,
medical personnel try to stabilize the patient and focus on preventing further injury. Primary
concerns include insuring proper oxygen supply to the brain and the rest of the body,
maintaining adequate blood flow, and controlling blood pressure. Emergency medical
personnel may have to open the patient's airway or perform other procedures to make sure
the patient is breathing. They may also perform CPR to help the heart pump blood to the
body, and they may treat other injuries to control or stop bleeding. Because many head-
injured patients may also have spinal cord injuries, medical professionals take great care in
moving and transporting the patient. Ideally, the patient is placed on a back-board and in a
neck restraint. These devices immobilize the patient and prevent further injury to the head
and spinal cord.
Medical professionals take great care in moving and transporting head-injured patients.
Often back-boards and neck restraints are used to immobilize patients and prevent further
injury.
As soon as medical personnel have stabilized the head injured patient, they assess the
patient's condition by measuring vital signs and reflexes and by performing a neurological
examination. They check the patient's temperature, blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate,
and pupil size in response to light. They assess the patient's level of consciousness and
neurological functioning using the Glasgow Coma Scale, a standardized, 15-point test that
uses three measures - eye opening, best verbal response, and best motor response - to
determine the severity of the patient's brain injury.
Glasgow Coma Scale
The eye opening part of the Glasgow Coma Scale has four scores:
4 indicate that the patient can open his eyes spontaneously.
3 are given if the patient can open his eyes on verbal command.
The best verbal response part of the test has five scores:
5 are given if the patient is oriented and can speak coherently.
A TBI can cause problems with arousal, consciousness, awareness, alertness, and
responsiveness. Generally, there are five abnormal states of consciousness that can result
from a TBI: stupor, coma, persistent vegetative state, locked-in syndrome, and brain death.
Stupor is a state in which the patient is unresponsive but can be aroused briefly by a strong
stimulus, such as sharp pain. Coma is a state in which the patient is totally unconscious,
unresponsive, unaware, and unarguable. Patients in a coma do not respond to external
stimuli, such as pain or light, and do not have sleep-wake cycles. Coma results from
widespread and diffuse trauma to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres of the upper
brain and the lower brain or brainstem. Coma generally is of short duration, lasting a few
days to a few weeks. After this time, some patients gradually come out of the coma, some
progress to a vegetative state, and others die.
Patients in a vegetative state are unconscious and unaware of their surroundings, but they
continue to have a sleep-wake cycle and can have periods of alertness. Unlike coma, where
the patients’ eyes are closed, patients in a vegetative state often open their eyes and may
move, groan, or show reflex responses. A vegetative state can result from diffuse injury to
the cerebral hemispheres of the brain without damage to the lower brain and brainstem.
Anoxia, or lack of oxygen to the brain, which is a common complication of cardiac arrest,
can also bring about a vegetative state. Many patients emerge from a vegetative state
within a few weeks, but those who do not recover within 30 days are said to be in a
persistent vegetative state (PVS). The chances of recovery depend on the extent of injury to
the brain and the patient's age, with younger patients having a better chance of recovery
than older patients. Generally adults have a 50 percent chance and children a 60 percent
chance of recovering consciousness from a PVS within the first 6 months. After a year, the
chances that a PVS patient will regain consciousness are very low and most patients who
do recover consciousness experience significant disability. The longer a patient is in a PVS,
the more severe the resulting disabilities will be. Rehabilitation can contribute to recovery,
but many patients never progress to the point of being able to take care of them.
Locked-in syndrome is a condition, in which a patient is aware and awake, but cannot move
or communicate due to complete paralysis of the body.
In addition to head and brain injuries, most TBI patients have injuries in other parts of the
body - a condition called polytrauma . The formation of blood clots deep inside a vein
(shown above), referred to as deep vein thrombosis, is one of the many medical
complications that may occur with TBI.
Trauma victims often develop hyper metabolism or an increased metabolic rate, which leads
to an increase in the amount of heat the body produces. The body redirects into heat the
energy needed to keep organ systems functioning, causing muscle wasting and the
starvation of other tissues. Complications related to pulmonary dysfunction can include
neurogenic pulmonary edema (excess fluid in lung tissue), aspiration pneumonia
(pneumonia caused by foreign matter in the lungs), and fat and blood clots in the blood
vessels of the lungs.
Fluid and hormonal imbalances can complicate the treatment of hyper metabolism and high
ICP. Hormonal problems can result from dysfunction of the pituitary, the thyroid, and other
glands throughout the body. Two common hormonal complications of TBI are syndrome of
inappropriate secretion of ant diuretic hormone (SIADH) and hypothyroidism.
Blunt trauma to the chest can also cause cardiovascular problems, including damage to
blood vessels and internal bleeding, and problems with heart rate and blood flow. Blunt
trauma to the abdomen can cause damage to or dysfunction of the stomach, large or small
intestines, and pancreas. A serious and common complication of TBI is erosive gastritis , or
inflammation and degeneration of stomach tissue. This syndrome can cause bacterial
growth in the stomach, increasing the risk of aspiration pneumonia. Standard care of TBI
patients includes administration of prophylactic gastric acid inhibitors to prevent the buildup
of stomach acids and bacteria.
What Disabilities Can Result From a TBI?
Disabilities resulting from a TBI depend upon the severity of the injury, the location of the
injury, and the age and general health of the patient. Some common disabilities include
problems with cognition (thinking, memory, and reasoning), sensory processing (sight,
hearing, touch, taste, and smell), communication (expression and understanding), and
behavior or mental health (depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out,
and social inappropriateness).
Within days to weeks of the head injury approximately 40 percent of TBI patients develop a
host of troubling symptoms collectively called post concussion syndrome (PCS). A patient
need not have suffered a concussion or loss of consciousness to develop the syndrome and
many patients with mild TBI suffer from PCS. Symptoms include headache, dizziness,
vertigo (a sensation of spinning around or of objects spinning around the patient), memory
problems, trouble concentrating, sleeping problems, restlessness, irritability, apathy,
depression, and anxiety. These symptoms may last for a few weeks after the head injury.
The syndrome is more prevalent in patients who had psychiatric symptoms, such as
depression or anxiety, before the injury. Treatment for PCS may include medicines for pain
and psychiatric conditions, and psychotherapy and occupational therapy to develop coping
skills.
Cognition is a term used to describe the processes of thinking, reasoning, problem solving,
information processing, and memory. Most patients with severe TBI, if they recover
consciousness, suffer from cognitive disabilities, including the loss of many higher level
mental skills. The most common cognitive impairment among severely head-injured patients
is memory loss, characterized by some loss of specific memories and the partial inability to
form or store new ones. Some of these patients may experience post-traumatic amnesia
(PTA) , either intergraded or retrograde. Intergraded PTA is impaired memory of events that
happened after the TBI, while retrograde PTA is impaired memory of events that happened
before the TBI.
Many patients with mild to moderate head injuries who experience cognitive deficits become
easily confused or distracted and have problems with concentration and attention. They also
have problems with higher level, so-called executive functions, such as planning,
organizing, and abstract reasoning, problem solving, and making judgments, which may
make it difficult to resume pre-injury work-related activities. Recovery from cognitive deficits
is greatest within the first 6 months after the injury and more gradual after that.
Patients with moderate to severe TBI have more problems with cognitive deficits than
patients with mild TBI, but a history of several mild TBIs may have an additive effect,
causing cognitive deficits equal to a moderate or severe injury.
Any TBI patients have sensory problems, especially problems with vision. Patients may not
be able to register what they are seeing or may be slow to recognize objects. Also, TBI
patients often have difficulty with hand-eye coordination. Because of this, TBI patients may
be prone to bumping into or dropping objects, or may seem generally unsteady. TBI patients
may have difficulty driving a car, working complex machinery, or playing sports. Other
sensory deficits may include problems with hearing, smell, taste, or touch. Some TBI
patients develop tinnitus, a ringing or roaring in the ears. A person with damage to the part
of the brain that processes taste or smell may develop a persistent bitter taste in the mouth
or perceive a persistent noxious smell. Damage to the part of the brain that controls the
sense of touch may cause a TBI patient to develop persistent skin tingling, itching, or pain.
Although rare, these conditions are hard to treat.
Language and communication problems are common disabilities in TBI patients. Some may
experience aphasia , defined as difficulty with understanding and producing spoken and
written language; others may have difficulty with the more subtle aspects of communication,
such as body language and emotional, non-verbal signals.
In non-fluent aphasia , also called Boca’s aphasia or motor aphasia, TBI patients often have
trouble recalling words and speaking in complete sentences. They may speak in broken
phrases and pause frequently. Most patients are aware of these deficits and may become
extremely frustrated. Patients with fluent aphasia , also called Bernice’s aphasia or sensory
aphasia, display little meaning in their speech, even though they speak in complete
sentences and use correct grammar. Instead, they speak in flowing gibberish, drawing out
their sentences with non-essential and invented words. Many patients with fluent aphasia
are unaware that they make little sense and become angry with others for not
understanding them. Patients with global aphasia have extensive damage to the portions of
the brain responsible for language and often suffer severe communication disabilities.
TBI patients may have problems with spoken language if the part of the brain that controls
speech muscles is damaged. In this disorder, called dysarthria , the patient can think of the
appropriate language, but cannot easily speak the words because they are unable to use
the muscles needed to form the words and produce the sounds. Speech is often slow,
slurred, and garbled. Some may have problems with intonation or inflection, called prosodic
dysfunction . An important aspect of speech, inflection conveys emotional meaning and is
necessary for certain aspects of language, such as irony.
Communication disabilities such as language and speech problems are common among
TBI patients. Above, a speech therapist uses a mirror in her work, performing exercises to
help a patient relearn speaking skills.
These language deficits can lead to miscommunication, confusion, and frustration for the
patient as well as those interacting with him or her.
Most TBI patients have emotional or behavioral problems that fit under the broad category
of psychiatric health. Family members of TBI patients often find that personality changes
and behavioral problems are the most difficult disabilities to handle. Psychiatric problems
that may surface include depression, apathy, anxiety, irritability, anger, paranoia, confusion,
frustration, agitation, insomnia or other sleep problems, and mood swings. Problem
behaviors may include aggression and violence, impulsivity, disinheriting, acting out,
noncompliance, social inappropriateness, emotional outbursts, childish behavior, impaired
self-control, impaired self awareness, inability to take responsibility or accept criticism,
egocentrism, inappropriate sexual activity, and alcohol or drug abuse/addiction. Some
patients' personality problems may be so severe that they are diagnosed with borderline
personality disorder, a psychiatric condition characterized by many of the problems
mentioned above. Sometimes TBI patients suffer from developmental stagnation, meaning
that they fail to mature emotionally, socially, or psychologically after the trauma. This is a
serious problem for children and young adults who suffer from a TBI. Attitudes and
behaviors that are appropriate for a child or teenager become inappropriate in adulthood.
Many TBI patients who show psychiatric or behavioral problems can be helped with
medication and psychotherapy. Are There
Other Long-Term Problems Associated With a TBI?
In addition to the immediate post-injury complications discussed on page 13, other long-
term problems can develop after a TBI. These include Parkinson's disease and other motor
problems, Alzheimer's disease, dementia pugilistic, and post-traumatic dementia.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) - AD is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized
by dementia, memory loss, and deteriorating cognitive abilities. Recent research suggests
an association between head injury in early adulthood and the development of AD later in
life; the more severe the head injury, the greater the risk of developing AD. Some evidence
indicates that a head injury may interact with other factors to trigger the disease and may
hasten the onset of the disease in individuals already at risk. For example, people who have
a particular form of the protein applied proportion E (apoE4) and suffer a head injury fall into
this increased risk category. (ApoE4 is a naturally occurring protein that helps transport
cholesterol through the bloodstream.)
Parkinson's disease and other motor problems - Movement disorders as a result of TBI are
rare but can occur. Parkinson's disease may develop years after TBI as a result of damage
to the basal ganglia. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease include tremor or trembling, rigidity
or stiffness, slow movement (brandy kinesis), inability to move (kinesis), shuffling walk, and
stooped posture. Despite many scientific advances in recent years, Parkinson's disease
remains a chronic and progressive disorder, meaning that it is incurable and will progress in
severity until the end of life. Other movement disorders that may develop after TBI include
tremor, ataxia (uncoordinated muscle movements), and cyclones (shock-like contractions of
muscles).
Dementia pugilistic - Also called chronic traumatic encephalopathy, dementia pugilistic a
primarily affects career boxers. The most common symptoms of the condition are dementia
and Parkinsonism caused by repetitive blows to the head over a long period of time.
Symptoms begin anywhere between 6 and 40 years after the start of a boxing career, with
an average onset of about 16 years.
Post-traumatic dementia - The symptoms of post-traumatic dementia are very similar to
those of dementia pugilistic a, except that post-traumatic dementia is also characterized by
long-term memory problems and is caused by a single, severe TBI that results in a coma.
Dementia pugilistic is a condition caused by repetitive blows to the head over a long period
of time. Symptoms of the disorder, which primarily affects career boxers, include dementia
and Parkinsonism.
What Kinds of Rehabilitation Should a TBI Patient Receive?
Rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery process for a TBI patient. During the
acute stage, moderately to severely injured patients may receive treatment and care in an
intensive care unit of a hospital. Once stable, the patient may be transferred to a sub acute
unit of the medical center or to an independent rehabilitation hospital. At this point, patients
follow many diverse paths toward recovery because there are a wide variety of options for
rehabilitation.
In 1998, the NIH held a Consensus Development Conference on Rehabilitation of Persons
with Traumatic Brain Injury. The Consensus Development Panel recommended that TBI
patients receive an individualized rehabilitation program based upon the patient's strengths
and capacities and that rehabilitation services should be modified over time to adapt to the
patient's changing needs.* The panel also recommended that moderately to severely
injured patients receive rehabilitation treatment that draws on the skills of many specialists.
This involves individually tailored treatment programs in the areas of physical therapy,
occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, physiatrists (physical medicine),
psychology/psychiatry, and social support. Medical personnel who provide this care include
rehabilitation specialists, such as rehabilitation nurses, psychologists, speech/language
pathologists, physical and occupational therapists, physiatrists (physical medicine
specialists), social workers, and a team coordinator or administrator.
* National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference Statement, October 26-
28, 1998 Rehabilitation of Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury. Bethesda, MD, September
1999.
Rehabilitation therapy is an important part of the recovery process of TBI patients. Above, a
physical therapist works with a patient to help improve her ability to walk.
The overall goal of rehabilitation after a TBI is to improve the patient's ability to function at
home and in society. Therapists help the patient adapt to disabilities or change the patient's
living space, called environmental modification, to make everyday activities easier.
Some patients may need medication for psychiatric and physical problems resulting from
the TBI. Great care must be taken in prescribing medications because TBI patients are
more susceptible to side effects and may react adversely to some pharmacological agents.
It is important for the family to provide social support for the patient by being involved in the
rehabilitation program. Family members may also benefit from psychotherapy. It is
important for TBI patients and their families to select the most appropriate setting for
rehabilitation. There are several options, including home-based rehabilitation, hospital
outpatient rehabilitation, inpatient rehabilitation centers, comprehensive day programs at
rehabilitation centers, supportive living programs, independent living centers, club-house
programs, school based programs for children, and others. The TBI patient, the family, and
the rehabilitation team members should work together to find the best place for the patient
to recovery.
How Can TBI be prevented?
Unlike most neurological disorders, head injuries can be prevented. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued the following safety tips* for reducing
the risk of suffering a TBI.
Wear a seatbelt every time you drive or ride in a car.
Buckle your child into a child safety seat, booster seat, or seatbelt (depending on the
child's age) every time the child rides in a car.
Wear a helmet and make sure your children wear helmets when
riding a horse;
Skiing or snowboarding.
Keep firearms and bullets stored in a locked cabinet when not in use.
Avoid falls by
using a step-stool with a grab bag to reach objects on high shelves;
installing window guards to keep young children from falling out of open
windows;
Using safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs when young children are
around.
Make sure the surface on your child's playground is made of shock-absorbing
material (e.g., hardwood mulch, sand).
Certain precautions, such as wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle or motorcycle and
wearing a seatbelt when driving or riding in a car, greatly reduce the risk of TBI.

What Research is the NINDS Conducting?
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) conducts and supports
research to better understand CNS injury and the biological mechanisms underlying
damage to the brain, to develop strategies and interventions to limit the primary and
secondary brain damage that occurs within days of a head trauma, and to devise therapies
to treat brain injury and help in long-term recovery of function.
On a microscopic scale, the brain is made up of billions of cells that interconnect and
communicate.
NINDS grantees developed a device that simulates the condition of trauma in cells in
culture. The device allows researchers to control the degree of injury to the cells and then
study the biological and physiological responses those cells have to trauma. The device can
also serve as a tool to test the effects of pharmaceutical agents.
The neuron is the main functional cell of the brain and nervous system, consisting of a cell
body (soma), a tail or long nerve fiber (axon), and projections of the cell body called
dendrites. The axons travel in tracts or clusters throughout the brain, providing extensive
interconnections between brain areas.
One of the most pervasive types of injury following even a minor trauma is damage to the
nerve cell's axon through shearing; this is referred to as diffuse axonal injury. This damage
causes a series of reactions that eventually lead to swelling of the axon and disconnection
from the cell body of the neuron. In addition, the part of the neuron that communicates with
other neurons degenerates and releases toxic levels of chemical messengers called
neurotransmitters into the synapse or space between neurons, damaging neighboring
neurons through a secondary neuron excitatory cascade. Therefore, neurons that were
unharmed from the primary trauma suffer damage from this secondary insult. Many of these
cells cannot survive the toxicity of the chemical onslaught and initiate programmed cell
death, or apoptosis. This process usually takes place within the first 24 to 48 hours after the
initial injury, but can be prolonged.
One area of research that shows promise is the study of the role of calcium ion influx into
the damaged neuron as a cause of cell death and general brain tissue swelling. Calcium
enters nerve cells through damaged channels in the axon's membrane. The excess calcium
inside the cell causes the axon to swell and also activates chemicals, called proteases,
which break down proteins. One family of proteases, the chaplains, are especially damaging
to nerve cells because they break down proteins that maintain the structure of the axon.
Excess calcium within the cell is also destructive to the cell's mitochondria, structures that
produce the cell's energy. Mitochondria soak up excess calcium until they swell and stop
functioning. If enough mitochondria are damaged, the nerve cell degenerates. Calcium
influx has other damaging effects: it activates destructive enzymes, such as capsizes that
damage the DNA in the cell and trigger programmed cell death, and it damages sodium
channels in the cell membrane, allowing sodium ions to flood the cell as well. Sodium influx
exacerbates swelling of the cell body and axon.
NINDS researchers have shown, in both cell and animal studies, which giving specialized
chemicals can reduce cell death caused by calcium ion influx. Other researchers have
shown that the use of cyclosporine A, which blocks mitochondrial membrane permeability,
protects axons from calcium influx. Another avenue of therapeutic intervention is the use of
hypothermia (an induced state of low body temperature) to slow the progression of cell
death and axon swelling.
A researcher studies an image generated by an immune fluorescent microscope to
understand cell death in the hippocampus, the section of the brain that controls memory.
The hippocampus is frequently affected in TBI patients. This technology allows the
researchers to study what happens to injured cells at the molecular level, and to look for
ways to interrupt the chain of chemical events that causes permanent brain damage after a
severe head injury.
In the healthy brain, the chemical glutamate functions as a neurotransmitter, but an excess
amount of glutamate in the brain causes neurons to quickly overload from too much
excitation, releasing toxic chemicals. These substances poison the chemical environment of
surrounding cells, initiating degeneration and programmed cell death. Studies have shown
that a group of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinase contribute to the toxicity by
breaking down proteins that maintain the structure and order of the extracellular
environment. Other research shows that glutamate reacts with calcium and sodium ion
channels on the cell membrane, leading to an influx of calcium and sodium ions into the cell.
Investigators are looking for ways to decrease the toxic effects of glutamate and other
excitatory neurotransmitters.
The brain attempts to repair itself after a trauma, and is more successful after mild to
moderate injury than after severe injury. Scientists have shown that after diffuse axonal
injury neurons can spontaneously adapt and recover by sprouting some of the remaining
healthy fibers of the neuron into the spaces once occupied by the degenerated axon. These
fibers can develop in such a way that the neuron can resume communication with
neighboring neurons. This is a very delicate process and can be disrupted by any of a
number of factors, such as neuron excitation, hypoxia (low oxygen levels), and hypotension
(low blood flow). Following trauma, excessive neuron excitation, that is the electrical
activation of nerve cells or fibers, especially disrupts this natural recovery process and can
cause sprouting fibers to lose direction and connect with the wrong terminals.
Scientists suspect that these misconnections may contribute to some long-term disabilities,
such as pain, spasticity, seizures, and memory problems. NINDS researchers are trying to
learn more about the brain's natural recovery process and what factors or triggers control it.
They hope that through manipulation of these triggers they can increase repair while
decreasing misconnections.
NINDS investigators are also looking at larger, tissue-specific changes within the brain after
a TBI. Researchers have shown that trauma to the frontal lobes of the brain can damage
specific chemical messenger systems, specifically the dopamine agric system, the collection
of neurons in the brain that uses the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is an important
chemical messenger - for example, degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons is the
primary cause of Parkinson's disease. NINDS researchers are studying how the dopamine
agric system responds after a TBI and its relationship to neuron degeneration and
Parkinson's disease.
The use of stem cells to repair or replace damaged brain tissue is a new and exciting
avenue of research. A neural stem cell is a special kind of cell that can multiply and give rise
to other more specialized cell types. These cells are found in adult neural tissue and
normally develop into several different cell types found within the central nervous system.
NINDS researchers are investigating the ability of stem cells to develop into
neurotransmitter-producing neurons, specifically dopamine-producing cells. Researchers
are also looking at the power of stem cells to develop into obliged embrocates, a type of
brain cell that produces myelin, the fatty sheath that surrounds and insulates axons. One
study in mice has shown that bone marrow stem cells can develop into neurons,
demonstrating that neural stem cells are not the only type of stem cell that could be
beneficial in the treatment of brain and nervous system disorders. At the moment, stem cell
research for TBI is in its infancy, but future research may lead to advances for treatment
and rehabilitation.
In addition to the basic research described above, NINDS scientists also conduct broader
based clinical research involving patients. One area of study focuses on the plasticity of the
brain after injury. In the strictest sense, plasticity means the ability to be formed or molded.
When speaking of the brain, plasticity means the ability of the brain to adapt to deficits and
injury. NINDS researchers are investigating the extent of brain plasticity after injury and
developing therapies to enhance plasticity as a means of restoring function.
The plasticity of the brain and the rewiring of neural connections make it possible for one
part of the brain to take up the functions of a disabled part. Scientists have long known that
the immature brain is generally more plastic than the mature brain, and that the brains of
children are better able to adapt and recover from injury than the brains of adults. NINDS
researchers are investigating the mechanisms underlying this difference and theorize that
children have an overabundance of hard-wired neural networks, many of which naturally
decrease through a process called pruning. When an injury destroys an important neural
network in children, another less useful neural network that would have eventually died
takes over the responsibilities of the damaged network. Some researchers are looking at
the role of plasticity in memory, while others are using imaging technologies, such as
functional MRI, to map regions of the brain and record evidence of plasticity.

Kenmore 596 sq. in 3 Burner Gas Grill with Side Burner
by Sears
Roomy 19x26-inch cooking surface, which includes three heavy porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking
grate; stent across the width of the cooking surface with somewhat hotter temperatures registering
at the rear of the grates, which were noticeably hotter than the front (due to a cross ignition bar that
runs along the back of the grill). The cooking grates are composed of interconnected triangular
bars, which are wider at the bottom and taper up to a point to minimize contact with foods for less
sticking.
Kenmore packs some exceptional features into this low-budget grill. First, the stainless steel
construction carries through from the hood all the way down to the cabinet. A brushed finish resists
fingerprints and presents a nice contrast with the gleaming handle and knobs, as well as the black
side shelf and side burner assembly. This model comes with a 12,000-Btu side burner with flush-
mounted cover. We loved the flush-mounted design, which is unobtrusive and lets you use the
surface as additional workspace when the burner is unoccupied. On the opposite side of the grill is
a roomy 15.5x20.5-inch side shelf, and on either end, there is a handy towel bar/side handle. Three
S-hook utensil holders can be affixed to either side.
An electronic igniter sends a series of sparks to the burners for quick lighting. Each burner is
controlled independently and subsequent burners can be lit from the first. The electronic igniter
also sends a spark to the side burner so you need to be careful to keep the side burner control
knob in the Off position until you are ready to use it.
Preheating of the grill is fast -- the hood temperature gauge registered 400 degrees Fahrenheit in
less then 5 minutes and climbed to 525 degrees by the 10-minute mark. The four burners are
individually controlled by adjustable knobs that turn effortlessly to let you choose a setting. You can
use all four burners together or just one or two to obtain an indirect grilling experience. A separate
6.25x24.5-inch warming rack offers ample space for buns and other delicate items. The total
cooking space is 659 square inches.
This grill's overall dimensions are 60.75 inches (width) by 26 inches (depth) by 47.75 inches
(height). The cook-box sits atop an enclosed cabinet (with magnetic-close doors) that stores/hides
the LP gas tank. Four caster wheels provide full mobility and can be locked to hold the grill steady.
The Kenmore Stainless Steel 4-burner Grill exceeded our expectations in terms of performance.
The variable heat settings provide a full range of temperature for slow barbecuing to quick searing
and grilling.
Pros: Fast heating, stainless steel construction, four burners, 48,000 Btu and 12,000-Btu side
burner
Cons: Cooking surface gets hotter toward the rear

Sony BRAVIA® HDTVs also feature innovative technology that self adjusts backlight to save power. Light
sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to maximize viewing quality and minimize energy
usage. And on the BRAVIA® KDL-VE5, a Presence Detector sets the television into standby mode when
no motion is detected within a preset amount of time. All to support the conservation of valuable resources
and limit green house gas emissions.
In 2008, the unit features 21 percent less power consumption in playback mode and 43 percent reduced
power consumption in stand-by mode.
Sony Ericsson is proud to deliver the most efficient chargers from a standby power point of view, with all
new models after 2005 meeting the requirements for ENERGY STAR®. Sony Ericsson also makes
continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption from all activities. At the Sony Ericsson manufacturing
site, the electricity per manufactured unit was significantly reduced by 24% in 2007 compared to 2005. The
goal is to reduce the carbon footprint from Sony Ericsson's own activities by 15% per produced unit by
2009 and 20% by 2011 based on the 2007 figures.
A Sony innovation, 10 years in the making every once in a while, a new technology emerges that changes
everything; at just 3mm thin, Sony has developed an unbelievably thin TV - while advancing image quality
to levels that no other TV can match. This technology is called OLED. Organic Light Emitting Diode, or
OLED, is a technology that uses carbon-based organic material in a process that converts electric energy
into light. This light is used to illuminate the screen and produce the most astounding results ever seen on a
television. OLED emits light and does not require a backlight-realizing a new TV form of approximately
3mm at its thinnest point. And when these elements are in their "off" state, they consume no power. OLED
TVs use less energy than LCDs. The OLED display consumes less electricity compared to conventional
displays because OLED's light-emitting structure does not require a separate light source and can be
powered using very low voltages. Sony Innovative Materials Saves
Participation in EPEAT™ Program As a committed participant in the Electronic Product Environmental
Assessment Tool (EPEAT™ ) program, various VAIO® notebooks have been registered for their
environmentally conscious design and the overall eco-conscious efforts of Sony EPEAT, is a tool designed
to help you compare and select products based on their environmental attributes. The majority of VAIO
notebooks and desktops are either registered as Gold or Silver.
All Sony VAIO computers have PVC-free exterior product casings and packaging. They are also EU
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive Compliant; the RoHS directive restricts the
amount of certain materials such as lead and mercury, used in electronic products. By limiting the use of
hazardous substances, RoHS aims not only to help prevent harmful materials from leaching into our
ecosystems but also helps minimize potential exposure to these substances and promotes easier recycling
at the end of a product's lifecycle.
Sony adopted the use of recycled and reused materials in several models of our LCDs, and all are EU
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive Compliants, helping prevent harmful materials,
such as lead, from leaching into our ecosystem when improperly disposed while also helping increase
recycling and reduce potential chemical exposure from the manufacturing process. And further keeping
green in mind, suppliers for products are certified as green partners based on Sony's stringent standard for
chemical substances used in products.
All Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Player parts, and all other Sony products, are lead and cadmium-free, based on
EU RoHS directive restrictions, and major plastic parts of the Blu-ray Disc Player are free of brominated
flame retardants.
Sony Ericsson is the first company to remove brominates flame retardants from its mobile phones and the
first to manufacture a full range of products, including accessories, which are also brominates flame
retardant free.
They were also the first in ensuring that every device in their range was fully compliant with the EU
Directive on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS). Sony Ericsson phones are PVC free, and we
are currently working to phase out antimony, beryllium and phthalates from our products.
Sony is looking at minimizing its impact of its computers on our environment, by reducing the size of our
packaging. VAIO® products utilize 30-95 percent post-consumer recycled content (actual percentage
depends on manufacturing). They also use non-VOC vegetable oil-based ink in all Japanese made units.
On the inside of the box, all Sony-created documentation uses 85% post-consumer recycled content.
On the BRAVIA® Series, the product information and packaging, including instruction manuals, Quick Set-
Up Guides and box packaging are made from recyclable materials. Inside the box, the Styrofoam packing
cushions are made from reprocessed EPS that's been taken from original parts packaging, shredded,
compacted and recycled into Television packaging cushions. This process resulted in saving 28 metric tons
of polyester plastic from landfills.
Compared to Sony’s previous BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc™ model, the new BDP-S350 model reduced the
overall unit size by 55 percent, reduced packing material by 52 percent and reduced the unit’s total weight
by 38 percent. The compact size of the finished package allows Sony to reduce the C02 emissions related
to shipping by approximately 43 percent.
Reduce unnecessary power use with a TV that switches to standby mode when no motion is detected.
Use less power than traditional technologies with the exclusive Sony® HCFL backlight.
Turn off the power completely with a flip of the switch and eliminate standby energy consumption.
With a screen that’s as thin as three credit cards, Sony’s XEL-1 changes television. It also breaks new
ground with a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, outstanding brightness, accurate color reproduction, and an
exceptionally rapid response time. Coming Soon!
Enjoy the latest in HDTV performance with the BRAVIA Z-Series and W-Series televisions, featuring
Motionflow™ 240Hz technology. Incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor®
technology and Dynamic Backlight Control, these HDTVs exceed Energy Star® 3.0 guidelines for energy
efficiency by over 15% in Home mode.
BRAVIA S-Series HDTVs put Full HD 1080p and stunning contrast in reach, offering advanced image

Business Challenges
Today’s business professionals often have difficulty finding the time and getting the information
they need to complete mission-critical business activities such as customer relations, analyzing
information, making decisions, and marketing.
While information technology can help address some of these challenges, business software can
be difficult to use, and business professionals do not have time to invest in learning new tools.
Business professionals need the software they already know and use every day to address their
key challenges, such as:
o Finding the right information quickly so they can take more effective action.
o Analyzing information easily so they can make better informed decisions.
o Keeping track of customer information in one place, so commitments and opportunities do
not fall through the cracks.
o Marketing products and services effectively to stay ahead of the competition.
o Eliminating the expense and long lead times associated with outsourcing sales and
marketing materials.
o Being more responsive to time-sensitive business opportunities.
o Prioritizing tasks and managing information overload.
o Streamlining business processes to increase operational efficiency and cut co sts.
o Being more efficient, whether working in the office or remotely.
Office Professional 2007 provides the tools business professionals need to work quickly and
efficiently, so they can spend more time doing business and interacting with customers.
Work More Efficiently with the New Task-Based User Interface
People often do not use software as efficiently as possible, simply because they do not have the
time to invest in learning all the tools and shortcuts available. Office Professional 2007 can take the
time out of learning new tools and performing routine tasks.
The new task-based user interface available across the Microsoft Office system helps you to work
more efficiently by automatically displaying the appropriate tools for your current task. You no
longer have to navigate complex menus or open multiple toolbars to make a small format change
or change a drawing. Microsoft Office system programs recognize the features you currently use
and tailor the interface accordingly.
Instant Search
With new and powerful integrated Instant Search, you can quickly find the
information you need, whether it is in your e-mail, calendar, contacts, or tasks.
Type in a keyword, and Instant Search quickly searches all your Outlook data.
Results begin to appear in Instant Search as soon as you start typing your
search terms. You also have the flexibility to create queries with different criteria,
such as date, color categories, and importance.
Organize E-Mail by Using Color Categories
The new color categories feature in Office Outlook 2007 gives you a quick, visual
way to distinguish types of mail items from one another, making it easier to sort
and find i nformation. For example, you could assign a color category to all items
related to a certain project. Simply right-click each e-mail message, calendar
item, or contact related to that project and select a color. Later, when you need to
find information related to that project, you can sort by color category to quickly
and visually identify what you are looking for.
Create Professional-Quality Business Documents
Office Word 2007 includes many new and improved features to expedite the
process of creating and formatting polished business documents. The new task-
based menus, for example, automatically display the tools you need for whatever
task you might be doing. With Quick Styles and Building Blocks you can spend
more time writing and less time formatting documents. And with the new Live
Preview feature, you can view your changes easily, so you no longer have to
undo or redo them.
Save Time with Building Blocks
Most organizations use some of the same information—company address or
profile,people’sbios, and legal disclaimers—in all their business documents. The
new Building Blocks feature helps you save time and reduce errors by creating
building blocks of frequently used information that everyone in your company can
access. Simply select the content you want from the Building Blocks menu and
insert it into your document.
When you give a presentation to your customers, partners, or investors, you want
it to have impact. To communicate effectively, your slides need to be crisp, clear,
and polished. You can get just the look you want with the new and enhanced
features in Office PowerPoint 2007.
Get started by choosing from the library of professionally designed slide layouts
in Office PowerPoint 2007. You can customize slides to get exactly the layout
you want, or use new prebuilt slide layouts for the most common topics. You can
also create layouts with multiple charts, tables, and text, and then save them as
templates.
Graphics, Tables, and Charts
You can now build tables and charts in Office PowerPoint 2007 by using the
same easily accessible tools you have come to depend on in Office Word 2007.
Improved graphics capabilities help you add, edit, and modify images in your
slides. With new AutoShape enhancements and improvements in the selection
and manipulation of objects, you no longer have to worry about getting the
picture you want on the page.
Office Access 2007 also provides you with a comprehensive view of tables,
forms, queries, and reports with a new Navigation Pane. You can even create
custom groups to organize and see all the forms and reports related to a single
table.

Benefits
Designed for reliability, security and privacy, high performance, and ease of use, the
Windows® XP operating system provides a host of benefits for business and home
users. A clean and simple desktop, rock-solid reliability, and easy-to-use features that
take advantage of the digital age all contribute to the value of Windows® XP.
Enhancements in real-time voice, video, and data communications will allow the PC to
become a center of communications and creativity beyond just e-mail and instant
messaging. Windows® XP will also allow the user to connect back to the desktop from
any location, and support for new wireless networks will be built in. Windows® XP will
unify the user's support experience by enabling the user to provide temporary and
secure control of their PC over the Internet to whomever can best help them.
Windows® XP takes an end-to-end approach to how people transfer videos and
pictures onto their computer, how they use them on their PC and other devices, and
how they share them, whether in person or through e-mail, over the Web, or through
removable media like DVDs and CDs. It extends this experience through applications
that help users buy music and videos, mobile devices, services for saving your music on
the Internet, and more. Windows® XP will make it easier for households to share a
single PC and share pictures, music, files, printers, and other resources.
