Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Ppar-Gamma In Surgical Brain Injury (Sbi), Amy Hyong
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Introduction: Brain injury can be caused by neurosurgical procedures themselves, due to direct trauma, retractor stretch, intraoperative hemorrhage and electrocautery damage. As a result of this surgical brain injury (SBI) postoperative complications such as inflammation, brain edema, and cell death can occur in the susceptible brain areas. Cerebral inflammation is a known contributor to the pathophysiology of brain injury. Following brain injury, the release of inflammatory mediators facilitates the development of BBB breakdown, cerebral edema, oxidative stress and neuronal death, resulting in further tissue damage in the brain and poor neurological outcomes. This study evaluates whether the use of a …

A Computerized Roentgenographic Cephalometric Study Of Hydrocephalus, Charles R. Henry Jr.
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A preliminary roentgenographic cephalometric investigation of twelve hydrocephalics has been conducted to consider the effects of increased intracranial pressure and enlarged neural mass on the craniofacial complex.
The Ricketts computerized analysis, utilizing both posterior-anterior and lateral cephalograms, and the Steiner and Tweed analyses, utilizing the lateral cephalogram, were used to compare the hydrocephalic to the norm.
The anterior cranial base was found to be significantly increased in length possibly due to the effects of hydrocephalus. The effects of hydrocephalus on the facial measurements were questionable in view of the fact that the significant findings of: 1) excessive inclination and protrusion …
