Anatomy and physiology of cisternostomy
2016
Cisternostomy is defined as opening the basal cisterns to atmospheric pressure. This technique helps to reduce the intracranial pressure in severe head trauma as well as other conditions when the so-called sudden “brain swelling” troubles the surgeon. We elaborated the surgical anatomy of this procedure as well as the proposed physiology of how cisternostomy works. This novel technique may change the current trends in neurosurgery.
Postmortale Ver�nderungen am Gehirn
1963
1. Den Ergebnissen einer Grundversuchsreihe an nicht vorgeschadigten Ratten uber postmortale und artefizielle Zell- und Gewebeveranderungen wurden die Befunde bei mit Histamin, Adrenalin vorbehandelten Tieren sowie denen nach Erstickungstod und dem Tod nach Hirntrauma erhobenen Befunde gegenubergestellt. 2. Die Auffassungen uber einen sich nach dem Tod vollziehenden dreiphasigen Strukturwandel und bezuglich der Bedeutung der beim Todeseintritt bestehenden kolloidalen Struktur fur den Typ der postmortalen Veranderungen wurden durch die erganzenden Untersuchungen bestatigt. 3. Die widerspruchsvoll erscheinenden Befunde der bei der Sektion in Erscheinung tretenden Zustandsbilder der sog. Hirns…
Biochemical Factors and Mechanisms of Secondary Brain Damage in Cerebral Ischemia and Trauma
1992
A distinction between primary and secondary manifestations of brain damage from acute insults, such as trauma, or ischemia is not only of scientific interest but also of the highest clinical significance. After all, prevention of secondary brain damage in patients with severe head injury or cerebral ischemia is the ultimate purpose of treatment, including the measures of emergency care. It can be assumed that the secondary sequelae of head injury are as important for the outcome as the primary insult is. Therefore, it is obvious that development of more effective forms of treatment requires a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying secondary brain damage. Manifestations of seconda…
