Background: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is an injury that occurs after the onset of traumatic brain injury (TBI), leading to many problems for patients and imposing high costs on the treatment system. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the status of laboratory variables in patients with DAI. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 140 patients. Data collection tools were a demographic profile form and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laboratory tests, including glucose, LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol, triglycerides, Hb, HCT, PT, PTT, INR, BUN, creatinine, and CRP were evaluated. Also, specialized devices were used to study the laboratory and radiology variables. Results: Most (61.5%) of the patients were male, 47.1% had a non-governmental occupation, and 55.7% were less than 30 years old. Also, in 87.9% of cases, traffic accidents were the cause of DAI and in 65% of patients, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was less than 7. In all the laboratory variables differences were observed between the experimental and the control groups. Conclusions: The laboratory variables in patients with DAI had a statistically significant difference compared to the case group, which indicates the negative effect of DAI on laboratory variables. Further studies are required to confirm our results.

“…A high prevalence of pain has been reported in patients with a diagnosis of brain disorders, and most of these patients are admitted with a diagnosis of head trauma (23). Pain management is essential, and it is necessary to take measures to reduce it (24,25). Patients suffering from trauma or hospitalized in the ICU need specialized services, so the necessary attention should be paid to them (26,27).…”

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of death, which ranges from mild and irreversible to severe and life-threatening injuries. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the pain score in patients with brain disorders using Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) and Nonverbal Pain Scale (NVPS). Methods: A descriptive comparative study was performed in Ilam province, Iran, in a group of head trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit who were intubated. One hundred twenty observations of nurses’ practice were performed. A purposive sampling method was utilized. The CPOT and NVPS assessed the pain, and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) assessed the state of consciousness. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16 software. Results: Patients’ mean ± SD age was 38.45 ± 4.2 years. The mean ± SD pain score on the CPOT before the procedure was 0.39 ± 0.49 in the facial expression dimension, 0.56 ± 0.49 in activity, 0.54 ± 0.50 in muscle tension, and 0.55 ± 0.49 in compatibility with the ventilator. The mean ± SD pain score on the NVPS before the procedure was 0.97 ± 0.20 in facial expression dimension, 0.94 ± 0.49 in activity, 0.95 ± 0.31 in guarding, 0.64 ± 0.49 in vital signs, and 0.92 ± 0.53 in excitement. Conclusions: Both CPOT and NVPS were effective in diagnosing patients’ pain, but the CPOT was more appropriate for diagnosing pain in intubated patients.

Context: Tranexamic acid (TXA) belongs to the family of lysine-derived antifibrinolytics. TXA requires a simple molecular breakdown in the liver to be metabolized and has a high renal excretion. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of TXA on subdural hematoma (SDH) treatment using the SR method. Methods: Following a systematic review design, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of TXA on SDH treatment using studies published from 2000 to 2020. The search was performed by two researchers who were dominant in various types of SR studies and specialized discussion of neurosurgery. A checklist that contained the following items was used to collect the data: surname, year of study, year of publication, population, sample size, age, intervention, and outcomes. Data were also classified and reported using Word software. Results: Initially, 178 articles were identified, out of which 118 were removed due to the relevance of the title and method, 44 due to duplication, six due to following the SR method, and three due to having a case report design. Seven studies were found as eligible, as follows: the study by Wakabayashi et al. with a sample of 199 patients, Kageyama et al.’s study with 21 patients, Wan et al.’s study with 90 patients, Kutty et al.’ study with 27 patients, Tanweer et al.’s study with 14 patients, Yamada et al.’s study with 193 patients, and Lodewijkx et al.’s study with 7 patients. All articles showed that TXA could reduce SH. Conclusions: Regarding the positive effect of TXA on reducing SDH, administration of this medicine is recommended in the treatment of patients with CSDH.
