  1. Trauma and more disorders.. Psychology 2617

  2. Introduction • Lesions • Anoxia a hypoxia • Anoxia is a complete cutoff of oxygen while hypoxia is a decrease • Hypoxia is usually caused by some environmental factor

  3. Cerebrovascular disorders • Stroke • Aka CVA • Used to be treated basically like there was nothing you could do • Now more like a ‘brain attack’

  4. Ischemia • Usually short lived • Usually a near complete or complete recovery occurs • More likely later on to have a big time stroke • Usually involves impairment of speech, vision, maybe neglect

  5. Infarctions • Thrombosis • Basically a blockage • Embolism • Clot that moves to the brain • Both are related to fat type build ups in the arteries

  6. hemorrhage • Rupture and spilling of blood in the brain • Usually a weak spot (aneurysm) • Intracerebral • Subarachnoid

  7. diagnosis • Depends on the problem • Tough sometimes for TIAs • Easier with other problems, hemorrhage is easy, but the outlook is not that good anyway • Use of imaging

  8. Psychological problems post event • Sensory problems • Cognitive issues • Memory • Motor • Speech • Abstract reasoning • Not always associated with where the injury happened!

  9. Tumors • Malignant or benign • Infiltrative or encapsulated • MUCH easier to diagnose nowadays what with MRI and CT scanning • Radiation and chemo • Chemo best when the tumor is growing • Early detection is key then

  10. Head injury • Is it just me or is all of this stuff getting depressing…. • We didn’t evolve in an environment that allowed us to travel at hundreds of km/h • Penetrating injury • Closed head injury

  11. Glasgow Coma Scale • Eye opening • Verbal response • Motor response • From 3-15, 15 is ok, 3 is very bad • The funny funny story of Donnie…

  12. Types of injuries • Edema • Herniation • Hemorrhage • Bleeding • Skull fractures

  13. Concussion • A mild form of closed head injury • Well mild sure, but, you should get looked at • They are cumulative • The funny story of Donnie maybe ain’t that funny • Brett is the smart Lindros • Post concussion syndrome

  14. Treatment • Amnesia is often the result or one of them • Neuropsychological evaluations • Coping skills can be taught • As usual, less severe, easier to treat
