A new study has identified certain biological changes that occur on a microscopic level when an individual suffers a serious Brain Injury, like a concussion. They also concluded that brain damage occurs even when injuries are incurred that are considered less serious.
An article published by U-T San Diego explained how when a person sustains a blow to the head, neurons, which transmit information throughout the cells of the brain, can suffer damage. The effects of this damage can be seen even in cases that did not rate as concussions.
While time and rest normally repairs the damage, researchers have also identified how repeat injuries can result in the development of more serious conditions. When brain injuries continue to be inflicted, the brain begins a process of destroying itself, known as apoptosis. Overtime, this destruction leads to the build up of certain proteins that have been identified in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
The damage can occur faster than one may think as well. A study of college athletes showed that just three significant brain injuries could result in an increased risk of future problems.
The Ohio Personal Injury Attorneys with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy urge anyone who believes they have sustained a traumatic brain injury to immediately seek medical attention. Doing so could help to drastically reduce the amount of damage that is done.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
