Traumatic Memory01:20

Traumatic Memory

596
Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

593
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.6K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Visual System01:26

Visual System

1.9K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

Visual Agnosia01:12

Visual Agnosia

1.2K
Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize visually presented objects despite having normal vision. For instance, a person with visual agnosia can describe the shape and color of an object but cannot identify or name it. This impairment does not affect their visual field, acuity, color vision, brightness discrimination, language, or memory. An example of this condition in a social setting is someone at a dinner party asking for "that silver thing with a round...

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction01:22

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

807
Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Ophthalmology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability and death.
  • Increased survival rates post-TBI lead to more individuals living with long-term disabilities, including visual deficits.
  • Children, young adults, and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to TBI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical and pathological features of TBI.
  • To outline the visual signs and symptoms associated with TBI.
  • To discuss quality of life assessment and visual rehabilitation strategies for TBI patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical and pathological TBI features.
  • Analysis of reported visual impairments in TBI patients.
  • Examination of quality of life and rehabilitation approaches.

Main Results:

  • TBI can cause primary vision defects (visual acuity, fields) and eye movement disorders (vergence, saccadic, smooth pursuit).
  • Complex visual functions like perception, motion vision (akinopsia), and visuo-spatial abilities can be impaired.
  • Eye movement dysfunction may serve as an early indicator of TBI, often co-occurring with multiple visual deficits and overall health decline.

Conclusions:

  • TBI frequently results in diverse and often combined visual problems.
  • Patients with chronic TBI dysfunction may need multidisciplinary therapies including occupational, vestibular, and cognitive rehabilitation.
  • Visual rehabilitation, encompassing oculomotor training and specialized eyewear (tints, prisms), can significantly benefit TBI patients.
