“…However, there are no published papers relating simultaneously to the trauma of both the caregivers and the TBI survivors; their interactive-integrative constructs and domains involved, interrelationship and dynamics, and functionalities of the processes of care giving and rehabilitation, and the humane qualitative aspects of the care giving-rehabilitating journey of the survivor and his/her caregivers. As alluded to by Ibn Sina for head injury trauma ( 24 ), a holistic approach to investigate TBI trauma ( 25 ) is warranted to enable the entire system to be elucidated, rather than ad hoc patchy or stand-alone studies. Hence integrated long-term researches should be the priority.…”

Mental Trauma Experienced by Caregivers of patients with Diffuse Axonal Injury or Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

ContextAs with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly with diffuse axonal injury (DAI), is that the caregivers are so overwhelmingly involved in caring and rehabilitation of the victim that in the process they become traumatized themselves. This review intends to shed light on the hidden and silent trauma sustained by the caregivers of severe brain injury survivors. Motor vehicle accident (MVA) is the highest contributor of TBI or DAI. The essence of trauma is the infliction of pain and suffering and having to bear the pain (i.e. by the TBI survivor) and the burden of having to take care and manage and rehabilitate the TBI survivor (i.e. by the TBI caregiver). Moreover many caregivers are not trained for their care giving task, thus compounding the stress of care giving and rehabilitating patients. Most research on TBI including DAI, focus on the survivors and not on the caregivers. TBI injury and its effects and impacts remain the core question of most studies, which are largely based on the quantitative approach.Evidence AcquisitionQualitative research can better assess human sufferings such as in the case of DAI trauma. While quantitative research can measure many psychometric parameters to assess some aspects of trauma conditions, qualitative research is able to fully reveal the meaning, ramification and experience of TBI trauma. Both care giving and rehabilitation are overwhelmingly demanding; hence , they may complicate the caregivers’ stress. However, some positive outcomes also exist.ResultsCaregivers involved in caring and rehabilitation of TBI victims may become mentally traumatized. Posttraumatic recovery of the TBI survivor can enhance the entire family’s closeness and bonding as well as improve the mental status of the caregiver.ConclusionsA long-term longitudinal study encompassing integrated research is needed to fully understand the traumatic experiences of caregivers. Unless research on TBI or DAI trauma is given its proper attention, the burden of trauma and injury on societies will continue to exacerbate globally.

“…Paleopathologic evaluation of the animal directed to the possibility of a cerebellar tumor which supposedly had resulted in its instability and repeated fallings and fractures. This process continues with the findings of many trapanized human skulls from different ages with evidence of healing ( 1 ); optimistically, it is supposed that they are therapeutic interventions. Recording was not possible in these cases.…”

“…All the tools should have had different shapes, size and dimensions due to the diversity of human heads and situations ahead of the physician. Avicenna explained an instrument, a drill calling it “trepannum” (most probably a sophisticated trephine or a perforator), which does not go deeply into the interior of the surface of the skull bone [4, 12] (Fig. 7).…”

Arabo-Islamic physicians demonstrated exceptional skill and innovation in surgery, by having used the instruments introduced by ancient Greeks and Greco-Roman surgeons. In many cases they have manufactured their own innovative designs promoting further the success of the difficult surgical operations of their era. The surgical instruments and the surgeon's boxes, used to regularise the plethora of the metallic items, were decorated with fine designs, in order to depict the Arab civilisation. For the first time surgery became a separate medical art, while Arabo-Islamic medicine re-introduced ancient Greek and Byzantine surgery to the world.
