HEAD Injury Serum Markers and Multi-modalities for Assessing Response to Trauma

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

The goal of HeadSMART II (HEAD injury Serum markers and Multi-modalities for Assessing Response to Trauma II) is to develop an In-Vitro Diagnostic, the BRAINBox TBI test, to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with mild traumatic brain injury, by incorporating blood biomarkers, clinical assessments, and tools to measure associated neurocognitive impairments.

Postoperative Temperature Monitoring In Brain Trauma

Brain InjuriesTraumatic1 more

This prospective observational study is designed to investigate the relationship between brain temperature, axillary temperature, rectal temperature, and bladder temperature of postoperative patients with brain trauma, and the relationship between brain temperature and prognosis. This study is conducted based on the following important assumptions. First, brain temperature of postoperative patients with brain trauma should be higher than the axillary temperature, rectal temperature and bladder temperature. Second, the consistency of brain temperature and bladder temperature is better than the consistency of brain temperature and axillary temperature, as well as that of brain temperature and rectal temperature. Third, brain temperature can help clinicians to predict the prognosis of patients with brain trauma. Therefore, brain temperature monitoring is significant in postoperative intensive care and treatment of patients with brain trauma.

Validating the MATADOC Against Best Practice Standard External Reference Standard

Brain Injuries

The purpose of this project is to further develop a standardized music-based measure used in music therapy with adults who have emerged from coma following profound brain injury, but are not able to demonstrate responsiveness to their environment due to complex clinical needs. Building on previous work, the project aims to strengthen the psychometric properties (e.g. concurrent validity, responsiveness) of the measure for its use with adults with profound brain damage.

Cerebral Oxymetry in Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injury

Vasopressor for current treatment protocols for acute traumatic brain injury can lead to vasoconstriction and thus cerebral hypoperfusion that can be detected with cerebral oxymetry as a drop in SCO2.

The Clinical Research on the Relationship Between Circadian Rhythm and Gut Microbiota in TBI Patients...

Loss of Consciousness of Unspecified DurationCerebral Laceration and Contusion1 more

Microbiome studies may be highlighted as crucial in the development of sleep disorder for TBI patients. The microbiota-gut-brain connection may further provide an opportunity for microbiota manipulation to treat the TBI patients with sleep disorders.This study is to investigate whether exist the relationship between sleep disorder and circadian rhythm of patients with TBI or not and focus the study on the potential of the host-microbiota interaction in regulating sleep disorder.

Measurement of Optic Nerve Sheath in Traumatic Raised Intracranial Pressure

Traumatic Brain Injury

Trauma patients are at risk for serious head trauma. The consequences of serious head trauma are often life altering. Currently, the only method available to rapidly assess the severity of head injury and need for neurosurgical intervention is the CT scan. This time consuming test requires transportation of a potentially unstable patient to the CT scanner. The investigators goal in traumatic brain injury is to identify early those patients who may require neurosurgical intervention. Brain swelling (elevated intracranial pressure) is transmitted to the eye and this can be measured with ultrasound. The investigators hypothesis is that this test will rule out significant elevations in intracranial pressure and perform as well as CT scan in doing this. The investigators study aims to demonstrate that ultrasound of the optic nerve is as good as CT scan in ruling out clinically significant elevations in pressure within the brain. After consent has been obtained, any trauma patient who has an indication to undergo CT scan of the brain will also undergo ultrasound of the eye. A radiologist will then review the CT scans to determine if signs of elevated intracranial pressure are present. The investigators hope to demonstrate that a bedside ultrasound performed in the trauma suite is reliable for ruling out the possibility of elevated intracranial pressure. **Update August 2009** Currently, deferred consent has been obtained from our REB allowing us to defer consent for this intervention of minimal risk. As well, REB has also approved phone consent in the interim.
