Prevention of secondary injury of the brain after penetrating injury
Keywords:
brain injury, edema, neurological damageAbstract
There are very limited therapeutic options for medical services during the shooting skull injuries treatment. Only few hours after the severe head trauma are available for detecting the damaged locating, rescue, stabilization and transport of hospital condition. During this time, the brain tissue at the molecular level processes are started which are progressing according to complex laws of causing further damage and demolish the damaged prospects and the chances of healing. My aim was to emphasize that I compiled solution above the normal level of total antioxidant capacity, thereby achieving a reduction in post-traumatic cerebral edema. I performed to verify the above, the following tests on animals weighing from 300 g Vistar female rats. My first goal is to measure the total antioxidant capacity of the animals, using a simple and cheap method. This value indicates the total capacity of the organization, which is suitable for the resultant free radical conclusion, that an exact assessment of the pre-treatment. The second goal was to verify the methodology described above, compiled by the dietary supplement able to increase total antioxidant capacity of healthy animals. Based on the results of animal experiments I carried out, it stated that the organization's total antioxidant capacity of blood and urine samples can be determined using the method I have described.
