Can you explain how head damage causes DI?

Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5
Vasopressin is made and stored in the same large neurons of the posterior pituitary. The pituitary stalk through which these neurons pass on their way from the hypothalamus can be severed by trauma, surgery, or disease but when it is severed the neurons die. I know of no relation between DI and narcolepsy.

Q: My baby's head is flat on one side. What causes this and do I need to be concerned?

Frequently Asked Questions; Childrens Hospital San Diego, SD
A: Plagiocephaly or flattening of the head is often caused by head positioning especially during sleep.  Bring it to the attention of your child's pediatrician so he or she can assess the cause.  If your baby continually keeps her head to one side in the crib, try to reposition her head to the other side or rotate her position in the crib to encourage her to turn the other way.  Make sure to give her lots of time to play on her tummy when she's awake.

Or of those, how many may have DI?

Frequently Asked Questions-Page 5
No one knows the number of patients with DI in the United States or any other population. The number with enuresis has been estimated and shown to vary with age (from 25% of children at 5 years of age to 1% in adolescents and adults), but it is not known how many of those have DI. From various sources, it is estimated that the number of DI patients in the United States range between 40,000 to 80,000, but that calculation involves a lot of assumptions and could be way off.

WHAT CAUSES COMA IN HEAD INJURED PEOPLE?

Frequently Asked Questions
The word coma is a Greek word that translates to 'deep sleep', and is currently used to indicate prolonged states of unconsciousness. Coma is a specific neurobehavioral diagnostic term that denotes unarousability (with the absence of sleep/wake cycles on electroencephalogram (EEG) and the loss of the capacity for environmental interaction). The cause typically consists of severe, diffuse bilateral brain damage and/or brain stem injury.

Frequently Asked Questions About Head Injury
Coma in head injured people almost always results from injury to all parts of the brain, not just the brain stem. In very rare circumstances the major portion of the brain is spared and only the brain stem is injured. This may result in prolonged coma with rapid and nearly complete recovery when the head injured person wakes up. In the vast majority of cases, however, prolonged coma implies diffuse injury to all parts of the brain, including the brain stem, and recovery is slow.

Frequently Asked Questions - Birth Injury Attorneys - Napoli...
Injuries to these nerves usually occur during the natural delivery of a larger infant. Sometimes a baby will be too large to pass through the mother's pelvis, which may result in the baby's shoulder becoming lodged behind the mother's pubic bone after the head has been delivered. If a doctor attempts to continue with the natural delivery rather than performing a C-section, the baby's neck can be stretched causing nerve damage.

What causes the brain damage?

Quality Health | Shaken Baby Syndrome
Experts believe that the rapid forward and backward head movement that occurs during violent shaking, throwing, or slamming against an object causes a baby's brain to shear and forcefully collide with the skull. This movement can tear blood vessels in a baby's brain, causing bleeding and swelling of surrounding tissue. Nerve cells may die from being stretched or sheared. Bleeding into and around the retina in the eyes can also occur.

Return to top What are the most frequent causes of base damage?

Frequently Asked Questions
Probably the two most common forms of base damage I see are poor steel scraping and over-heating with the iron. A word about both may save needing to send in your skis for grinding! Be sure to use a sharp scraper or good quality. Avoid thin scrapers that can bend and create rounded bases, and avoid using a burnished (wire) edge unless you are very, very sure what you are doing. The best steel scrapers are very hard steel, and need to be sharpened on a diamond stone.

How could anyone take that many blows to the head without suffering massive brain damage?

Brained.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Actually, every time you bump your head, even slightly, you kill a certain number of brain cells. You can even kill brain cells by shaking your head too hard, or by "head banging" to music. Not to mention alcohol consumption. With that in mind, I probably have suffered a certain amount of brain damage from my mishaps, as everyone does. While I was never actually diagnosed with one, now that I know what to look for I estimate that I've endured at least 7 concussions during my life, if not more.
