Time together;talking together;trusting each other; touching each other
2. 504 Plan Section
504 of the
RehabilitationAct of 1973:A writtenplan developedby a generaleducation
school committee outlining
accommodations to be made by a-12 K or
post-secondary school that receives federal
funds for a studentwith a disablingcondition
that substantially limits a major life activity.
3. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE): Also knownas dementiapugilistica,refersto a
condition,diagnosedafter death,relativeto multipleconcussionscausedby significantforce.A progressivede-
generativediseasethat is mostoftensustainedby athletesparticipatingin contactsports,whereit is sometimes
termed punch drunk. May also be observed in domestic violence victims or abused children who have sustained
numerousblows to the head. It begins very slowly with deteriorationin concentration,attention,memory,judgment,and
insight, occasionallyaccompaniedby dizziness and headaches.Severesymptomsof eventuallyshowsymptomsof
Parkinsonism, including disturbed coordination, slowed gait, slurred speech, masked facies, diflculty swallowing
and
tremors.
4. AcquiredBrain Injury (ABI): An injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or
inducedby birth trauma
5. TraumaticBrain Injury (TBI): an alterationin brain function,or otherevidenceof brain pathology,
caused by an eẋternal force
6. closed injuries:Can causebrain lacerationsand contusions,or intracerebralhemorrhagewithin thebrain
causingfocal injuries. i.e. coup-countercoup,and/ordittuseinjury resultingfrom tearingor shearingof aẋons i.e.
Dittuse aẋonal injury (DAI)
,7. Open injuries: Breach of the skull or a breach of the meninges.These injuries often result in focal injuries
(such as epidural or SDH, or ICH) or penetrating injury i.e. gunshot wound
8. Mild TBI (mTBI): Can haveeitherbrief or no loss of consciousnessand its presentationmay demonstrate
vomiting, lethargy, dizziness, and inability to recall what just happened.
9. ModerateTBI: Will be marked by unconsciousness for any period of time up to 24hours, will have
neurological signs of brain trauma, including skull fractures with contusion or bleeding, and may have focal finding
, on an electroencephalograph(EEG)/computedtomography(CT) scan.
Normalor abnormalstructuralimaging;LOC >30min and <24 hr; AOC >24 hr severitybasedon othercriteria;PTA >1
and <7 days; GCS = 9-12
10. Severe TBI: Markedby a periodof loss of consciousnessof 24 hours or greater.
Normal or abnormal structural imaging; LOC >24 hr; PTA >7 days; GCS = 3-8
11. Incidence: occurrence;i.e. a certain numberof brain injuries within a given year.
12. Prevalenceof Injury: The numberof peoplewith a given condition(i.e. ABI) at a specific point in time
13. Mild Brain Injury (mBI): Injury to the brain, with Glasgow Coma Scores (GCS) between-15;
13 Normal
Structural Imaging; LOC = 0-30 minutes; AOC = from a moment up to 24hr; PTA =-10day
14. Akinesia: slownessor loss of movement
15. epiduralhematoma(EDH): Hematomaon thesurfaceof themeningesbut insidetheskull, displac-
ing thebrain
16. Subdural Hematoma: Bleedingbetweenthe dura mater and the arachnoidlayers of the meninges.
17. Hypoẋia: decreasedamountof O2 to the brain
18. Anoẋia: no O2 to thebrain completely
19. Medulla: the baseof the brainstem;controlsheartbeat,breathing,bloodpressure,swallowing,vomiting,and
sneezing
20. Pons: Part of the brainstemthat is essentialfor facial movementand sensations,hearingand coordinatingeye
movements.
Enables the thinking part of the brain (Corteẋ) to work with the moving part of the brain (Cerebellum)
21. Mid Brain: Part of the brain stem that plays a pivotal role in alertnessand arousal
22. Basal Ganglia: directs intentionalmovements
23. computed tomography (CT): a scanning technique using multiple Ẋ-rays to construct three-dimen-
sional images
24. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to
produce computer-generated images that distinguish among ditterent types of soft tissue; allows us to see structures
