ABSTRACT
Authors present a seven years retrospective study on 85 cases of severe brain injuries (SBI) in children (GCS /= 20 mmHg, the Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) on MRI and the GCS on admission are factors of prognosis in SBI in children. The politrauma context is an aggravating factor for SBI in this age group. Other factors which influence GCS on admission may have prognostic importance i.e.: prehospital care, transport time and adequate transport conditions.

A total dose of 10 g/kg body weight of aminoacetonitrile distributed almost evenly over 35 days prevents formation of connective bands and damage of hepatocytes in the liver of rats submitted to CCl4 inhalations at a partial pressure of 1/6 atm, eight times within the same interaval. Control animals exhibited the usual pattern of CCl4 injury.
