Abstract

Background & Aim: Traumatic brain injury is one of the main causes of death and disability. The aim of this study is to systematically review the articles which assessed some serum factors of traumatic brain injury patients in relation to their outcomes.

Methods & Materials/Patients: Databases were searched for relevant publications from 2005 to 2014. Selection criteria were:Studies which evaluate the factors affecting the outcome after TBI, TBI defined as “acute changes in brain function resulting in a strong external force to the head”.Resultswere measured by Glasgow Outcome Score or a comparable measure.Factors were measured in first month after injury and the prognosis was addressed. All papers were checked and approved by a specialist and expert in that field. A systematic review was performed for prognostic factors. Results: Sixty-three studies were included. Most studies used Glasgow Outcome Score at 6 months post-injury as outcome measure, sometimes in combination with other outcome measures. Strong evidence for predicting outcome was found for serum concentration of S100 protein, NSE, MBP, NF-H, GFAP, UCH-L1, blood glucose levels, serum levels of LDH, sodium level, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, platelet count, D.dimer, HSP 70, serum levels of IL-8, number of circulating EPCs, and  DNA levels in serum. Moderate evidence for predicting outcome was found for high serum MMP9. Strong evidence of no association was found for WBC count and serum cortisol levels. Moderate evidence of no association was found for serum total cholesterol for other determinants, inconclusive or no evidence or limited evidence was found.

Conclusion: S100 protein, NSE, MBP, NF-H, GFAP, UCH-L1, blood glucose levels, serum levels of LDH, sodium level, prothrombin time, Partial thromboplastin time, platelet count, D.dimer, HSP 70, serum levels of IL-8, number of circulating EPCs, and  DNA levels in serum predicted outcome after traumatic brain injury. WBC count, serum cortisol levels, total cholesterol and MMP9 did not have predictive value.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Secondary complications management of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is one of the therapeutic challenging issues during Intensive Care Unite (ICU) admission. The complications of patients with SAH admitted to the ICU of Imam Khomeini Hospital of Urumia were investigated in this study.
Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive study, the clinical complications of the patients with SAH admitted to ICU including anemia, fever, hyperglycemia, hypertension, electrolyte imbalance, and cardiac arrhythmia were collected from their medical records within a 7-year period. The collected data were analyzed using Chi-squared test and t-test by SPSS. 
Results: In total, 483 records of patients with SAH were explored. Moreover, 183 (37.9%) samples had anemia, 174 (36%) suffered from fever, 204 (42.2%) patients were diagnosed with hypertension. A total of 111 (23%) patients had hyperglycemia, 54 (11.2%) individuals suffered from sodium disorders. Additionally, 131 (27.1%) individuals had cardiac arrhythmias.
Conclusion: The obtained results suggested that the most prevalent complications following SAH are hypertension, anemia and fever. Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between cardiac arrhythmias, as well as sodium and hyperglycemia disorders, and the treatment outcome of patients. Patients admitted to ICU should be under intensive care to reduce the mortality rate associated with SAH.

Aydin Kazempour Azar, Amir Kamalifar, Javad Aghazadeh, Firooz Salehpour, Samar Kamalifar,
Volume 4, Issue 4 (Autumn 2018)
Abstract
Neuroblastoma is a nervous system malignancy. The extension of intra-abdominal neuroblastoma to the spinal canal is a rare condition. In this case report, we present a patient with monoplegia and a huge intra-abdominal mass with intra spinal extension and cord compression.
