Difficulties in Treating Patients with Traumatic Brain injuryjamesyoungmd
Traumatic Brain Injury occurs every 15 seconds with 500,000 requiring hospitalization. It is the leading killer and cause of disability in children and young adults. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in the U.S. More than 2.5 million drivers and passengers were treated in emergency departments as the result of being injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2012. The economic impact is also notable: in a one-year period, the cost of medical care and productivity losses associated with injuries from motor vehicle crashes exceeded $80 billion. http://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars, 2010
An estimated 2.4 million children and adults in the U.S. sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and another 795,000 individuals sustain an acquired brain injury (ABI) from non-traumatic causes each year.
Currently more than 5.3 million children and adults in the U.S. live with a lifelong disability as a result of TBI and an estimated 1.1 million have a disability due to stroke.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

4. Why the increased focus on
sports-related concussions?
Concussions are common in sports, and
their frequency appears to be increasing
Although typically mild, sports
concussions have a high risk of recurrence
and can have significant complications
Knowledge of the potential for long-term
negative outcomes
4
5. What is a Concussion?
A concussion ( or mild
traumatic brain injury) is a
complex physiological
process affecting the
brain, induced by
traumatic biochemical
processes secondary to
direct or indirect forces to
the head.
5
6. What is a Concussion?
Disturbance of brain
function is related to
neurometabolic
dysfunction rather than
structural brain injury and
is typically associated with
normal structural imaging
findings
6
7. What is a Concussion?
Concussion may or may
not involve a loss of
consciousness
7
8. What is a Concussion?
Results in a constellation
of physical, cognitive,
emotional, and sleep-
related symptoms
Symptoms may last from
several minutes to days,
weeks, months, or longer
in some cases
8
9. Current Diagnosis of Concussion
Does not require LOC
Does not require a direct blow to the head
Does not require amnesia
CT/MRI likely to be normal
9
10. Sports and Concussions
In the United States there are
over 3.8 million sports related
concussions a year.
It is estimated that an athlete
playing a contact sport has a
19% chance of suffering a
concussion each year of play.
10
11. Sports and Concussions
34% of college football
players have suffered at least
one concussion.
20% of college football
players have suffered multiple
concussions
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Pittsburgh

12. Sports and Concussions
All sports and recreation-related concussion in
U.S. 1.6-3.8 million/year
Concussion is COMMON in youth sports:
8.9% of high school athletes
Concussions appear to be increasing,
especially among high school athletes

22. Metabolic Abnormalities
Potassium, glutamate and glucose are
immediately released from affected brain cells
Calcium enters these disturbed cells
Neurotransmitter release occurs with loss of
autoregulation on the affected area
Decreased cerebral blood flow
22
28. Observed Signs of Concussion
Appears dazed, stunned
Confused about assignment/position
Forgets an instruction
Moves clumsily
Answers questions slowly
Loses consciousness (even briefly)
Exhibits mood/ behavior/personality changes
Can’t recall events before hit
28
29. Cumulative Effects
Increased severity of
symptoms with
subsequent concussions
Unknown effects on
the developing brain
29
30. Second Impact Syndrome
Experiencing a second
concussion before signs and
symptoms of a first
concussion have resolved
may result in rapid and
typically fatal brain swelling.
30
31. Second Impact Syndrome
Athletes should never to
return to sports while
they're still experiencing
symptoms of concussion.
31
32. Post Concussion Syndrome
20-25% of patients who suffer a
concussion residual symptoms
Estimated < 5% of sports related
concussions
32
33. Post Concussion Syndrome
Symptoms
Headache
Dizziness
Sensitivity to light and sound
Blurred vision
Concentration, attention, and memory
problems
33
34. Post Concussion Syndrome
Most people recover fully
from post concussion
syndrome within 3-6 months.
However, 7-15% of people
will experience symptoms 1
year post injury.
34
35. Long Term Effects of Concussions
Chronic Clinical Changes seen in NFL players
- Increased risk of cognitive impairment
- Increased risk of depression
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)
- Damaged Tau Protein as seen in AD
- Diagnosed in a college football player
35
37. Concussion Management
ANY Signs or Symptoms: NO RETURN
TO ANY SPORTS ACTIVITY
Rest
Gradual Return to Play
37
38. Clinical Dilemma of Concussion
There is no proven treatment-the injury must
run its course
The severity of the concussion is not fully
known until it has resolved
Uncertainty about when it is safe to return to
competition
38
39. Concussion Management
REMOVE athlete from play
REFER to medical provider
REST no sports, no texting, no tv
RETURN only with medical clearance
Children’s Hospital, Boston, Sports Concussion Clinic
39
40. We Don’t Know……
How many concussions are too many?
When the brain is really back to “normal”?
If pharmocotherapy could help?
Why are more injury prone?
40
41. Prevention
Teach safe techniques in
practice and play
Encourage recognition
and reporting of
concussion symptoms
Be aware that injuries are
more common in
younger athletes
41
42. Prevention
Use available assessment
tools
Monitor developments
at advanced levels of
play and legislative
efforts
