Book excerpt: Families are profoundly affected by a child's brain injury, and their participation and support play a critical role in the child’s adjustment and ongoing development. As such, today's literature contains a growing number of studies that document the importance of the family's role in the child's recovery. Edited by two experts from the cerebral palsy unit at the distinguished SARAH Network of Hospitals in Brasilia, Brazil, this book is designed for rehabilitation professionals and provides important guidelines for training parents and involving the family in the rehabilitation process. Including 200 line figures representing SARAH's novel neurodevelopmental exercises, as well as a CD-ROM with printable versions of all neurodevelopmental exercises included in the book, as well as some additional ones, The Child with Traumatic Brain Injury or Cerebral Palsy prepares rehabilitation professionals for training the family to perform, at home, a rehabilitation program developed by an interdisciplinary team. Clearly presented and easy to follow, this important work will appeal to physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, speech therapists/teachers and all professionals who care for children with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and developmental delay.

Book excerpt: The Author of this new book, ?Hyperbaric Oxygenation for Cerebral Palsy and the Brain-Injured Child?A Promising Treatment?, is Dr. Richard Neubauer, internationally known and respected as one of the foremost authorities on hyperbaric medicine (HBOT). Since the early 1970s, Dr. Neubauer has successfully treated thousands of patients for a variety of illnesses and brain insults using hyperbaric oxygenation. In the past five years his primary focus has been children with neurological problems, especially cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injuries. He has treated more than 400 children with cerebral palsy using hyperbaric oxygenation as one of the children?s therapies.His latest book is a complete guide for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injuries who are considering using hyperbaric oxygenation therapy. Written in a semi-scientific manner, the information should also be of value to physicians, researchers, and insurance providers seeking accurate and proven insight about the value of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy for these children. It is one of a few, perhaps the only, book available written exclusively for caregivers. It covers a broad range of subjects from the functions of the brain to choosing a medically sound hyperbaric center where a child can receive safe and appropriate treatments. While one of the primary goals of the book is to introduce the positive effects of hyperbaric oxygenation, another purpose is to help the caregivers understand how single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans can be used to document the activity in the brain before and after treatments.Dr. Neubauer received his medical degree form the University of Virginia Medical School. Trained as an internist, Dr. Neubauer held directorships at a number of hospitals before specializing in hyperbaric medicine. He has published numerous journal articles and lectures at medical facilities all over the world on the subject of hyperbaric medicine for children with cerebral palsy, and is the co-founder of the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Head trauma in children is a major public health problem. It is a leading cause of death, and it can result in a spectrum of difficulties involving cognition, academic achievement, and social interaction. Children are evolving organisms for whom a static conceptualization of outcome may cloud the effects of traumatic brain injury. This important book explores sources of unexplained variability in outcome by developmental stage. For clinicians, the volume will provide easy access into the mainstream of research on traumatic brain injury in children, its pathophysiology, treatment, and outcome. For scientists specializing in cognition and development, and for those in the basic neurosciences, the studies of traumatic brain injury discussed in this book offer a unique opportunity to relate brain structure to patterns of behavior. Modern neurodiagnostic techniques have created new possibilities for understanding the neurological basis of the diverse behavioral deficits shown by head-injured children. The contributors of this volume not only present detailed analyses of the present state of knowledge of the diverse determinants of outcome in children with head injury, but they also emphasize the gaps and limitations in our knowledge.
