TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone and naloxone in a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute spinal-cord injury, 95 percent of whom were treated within 14 hours of injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The increased morbidity and mortality related to severe trauma to an extracranial organ system appeared primarily attributable to associated hypotension, and improvements in trauma care delivery over the past decade have not markedly altered the adverse influence of hypotension.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A new classification of head injury based primarily on information gleaned from the initial computerized tomography (CT) scan is described, which utilizes the status of the mesencephalic cisterns, the degree of midline shift in millimeters, and the presence or absence of one or more surgical masses.
Book
Frontal Lobe Function and Dysfunction
TL;DR: This work focuses on the role of the frontal lobes in memory response preparation and motor functioning in patients with frontal lobe lesions and the effects of frontal lobe damage on these functions.
