           The brain and spinal cord comprise the body’s intricate nervous system. Brain and spine work together to help human function. They both have many parts that are vulnerable to traumatic injury. The nervous system includes the spinal cord, nerves and brain. The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs and the spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine in the human body. TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES BY DR. SHAILESH JAIN Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a blow/ blast to the head or violent movement of the head. No open head wound or skull fracture or loss of consciousness is required for an injury to be classified as a Traumatic brain Injury or TBI. How Do Doctors Explain the Severity of a Traumatic Brain Injury?  These three factors help doctors explain the severity of a traumatic brain injury to patients and their families:  L...

         Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder that anyone can develop and  affects both women and men of all ethnic backgrounds and ages. Epilepsy, also known as “seizure disorders”. In Epilepsy, your brain  activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness, etc. The reason this occurs in most cases of epilepsy is unknown or sometimes that occurs as a result of other issues such as brain injury, stroke, brain tumors, Amphetamines , Low blood sodium ( hyponatremia ), which you can get from taking diuretics , Taking certain medications such as certain pain relievers, antidepressants, or medications to help you stop smoking, Not getting enough sleep, Alcohol abuse, during times of withdrawal or extreme intoxication,infections of the brain, or birth defects through a process known as epileptogenesis . People suffering from epilepsy simply stare for a few seconds durin...

         Quadriplegia, also known as Tetraplegia. In Quadriplegia, a person has partially or completely lost his/her all four limbs( Both legs and arms) and torso. It’s a kind of paralysis situation, where you lose your sensation and control of your limbs. Quadriplegia is similar to Quadriparesis, but it’s slightly different because in Quadriparesis, a person partially loses his/her control of your limbs but in Quadriplegia, it’s partially or completely lost the ability to move their limbs.  Causes of Quadriplegia by Dr. Shailesh Jain Quadriplegia most often caused by spinal cord injury, Brain damage(which causes many other unpredictable effects, such as changes in a person’s mood or ability to think.) tumours, cervical spine injury. Most of the spinal cord injuries happen by accidents, such as traffic accidents,Auto accidents, Motorcycle accidents, falls, Gunshots accidents, Surgical complications, pedestrian accidents, Being hit by flying objects, Diving...

  The Role of Neurointervention is a highly specialized field of Neurology performed with intricate skills and expert neurology. It is the systematic implication of neurology to prevent neurological disorders with small doses of therapy and therapeutic agents.   Though Neurointervention has been rocky in the past, with few agents working correctly, new research into Neurointervention indicates that targeted delivery and specific therapeutic agents can offer a great sense of neuroprotection. It is even believed that Neurointervention can solve acute brain strokes and greatly help in brain stroke management. The Change More than seven hundred thousand ischemic strokes occur every year on an average, and 70 thousand of those are LVO cases. This means that a revolution was required in the treatment of brain stroke and its management. This is what Neurointervention brought with it. Though Neurointervention through thrombectomy has been quite successful, it was only available f...

      Braun hemorrhage is one of the most dangerous conditions that a human being can encounter, and rightly so since internal bleeding related to our brain can be fatal.  There are many causes of brain hemorrhage that will be discussed further down this blog, but basically, a brain hemorrhage means the bleeding of our brain. This can result in damage to brain tissues and hemorrhage strokes.  There are also 4 different types of Brain Hemorrhage: Intracerebral hemorrhage- Bleeding inside the brain. Subdural hemorrhage- Bleeding in the inner layer of Dura and above the Brain. Subarachnoid hemorrhage- Bleeding between the brain and the membrane. Epidural hemorrhage- Bleeding between the skull and the brain. All of these types are extremely complex and need to be treated immediately. Cause of Brain Hemorrhage There are many factors that come into play when Brain Hemorrhage is involved but they can be summed up as: Major Head Injuries High Blood Pressure Drug Consump...
