Is CT Angiography of the Head Useful in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury?
Head CTA is commonly used after blunt TBI but does not alter management and should be abandoned in the absence of clear indications.
Burn mediates a common systemic response, independent of the site or extent of injury, and also specific responses to local versus distant trauma. A transcriptome profile of genes that initiate and sustain systemic inflammation has been identified.
