brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Manfred von Richthofen - The Flying Circus

In January of 1917 von Richthofen assumed command of Jasta 11, which ultimately included some of the elite of Germany's pilots, many of whom the Red Baron trained himself. Since April 1918, the pilots in his squadron included Ernst Udet. Jasta 11's aircraft featured red markings, and some of Richthofen's planes were entirely red. The squadron was usually quartered in tents, in order to get closer to the front and gain mobility to avoid Allied bombing. This way, th ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Manfred von Richthofen - Death

The Red Baron met his death on April 21, 1918 from a single bullet while flying over Morlancourt Ridge, near the Somme River. At the time he had been pursuing a Sopwith Camel piloted by a Canadian, Lieutenant Wilfrid "Wop" May of No. 209 Squadron, Royal Air Force. In turn the baron was chased by a Camel piloted by a school friend of May, Captain Arthur "Roy" Brown; the Red Baron turned to check the tail of his plane, that is, in the direction of Brown. He was then caught by the bullet (.303 calibre, possibly rifle or machine gun), shot from behind and b ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Brain contusion - Features

Contusions, which are frequently associated with edema, are especially likely to cause increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) and concomitant crushing of delicate brain tissue. Contusions are also more likely to result in hemorrhage than is diffuse axonal injury because they occur more often in the cortex, an area with more blood vessels (GE Healthcare, 2004). Contusions typically form in a wedge-shape with the widest part in the outermost p ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Aphasia - Causes

Aphasia can be caused by damage to one or more of the language areas of the brain. Many times, the cause of the brain injury is a stroke. A stroke occurs when, for some reason, blood is unable to reach a part of the brain. Brain cells die when they do not receive their normal supply of blood, which carries oxygen and important nutrients. Other causes of brain injury are severe blows to the head, brain tumors, brain infections, ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Unilateral neglect - Overview

Unilateral neglect patients typically have no or limited conscious awareness of information coming from the neglected side of space. This lack of spatial awareness is similar to how we are unaware of the blind spot in our vision. This might results in patients with unilateral neglect ignore stimuli from the neglected side of space, causing them to bump in to objects and to omit details on the left side when copying drawings. Notably, however, such patients will be unaware of the fact ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Manfred von Richthofen - Early life

Born in Breslau, Silesia, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland), Richthofen moved with his family to Schweidnitz (now Świdnica, Poland), when he was 9 years old. The young Richthofen enjoyed hunting and riding horses. After completing cadet training in 1911, he joined a cavalry unit, Uhlan Regiment No. 1 – Kaiser Alexander III. After the First World War began in, Richthofen served as a cavalry scout on both the eastern and western fronts. Richthofen became bored with this role and in about May 1915, he asked to be transferre ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Traumatic brain injury - Types of TBI

The damage from TBI can be focal, confined to one area of the brain, or diffuse, involving more than one area of the brain. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with concussion (a shaking of the brain in response to sudden motion of the head), diffuse axonal injury, or coma. Localized injuries may be associated with neurobehavioral manifestations, hemiparesis or other focal neurologic deficits. Types of focal brain injury include bruising of brain tissue called a contusion and intracranial hemorrhage or hematoma, heavy ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Manfred von Richthofen - Piloting career

Inspired by a chance meeting with the great air fighter Oswald Boelcke, he decided to become a pilot himself. Later, Boelcke selected von Richthofen to join his elite fighter squadron (Jagdstaffel), Jasta 2. Von Richthofen won his first aerial combat over Cambrai, France on September 17, 1916. After his first victory, von Richthofen wrote to a friend in Berlin who was a jeweller and ordered a silver cup engraved with the date of the fight and the type of enemy machine. He continued this tradition until he had sixty cups, by which time ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Manfred von Richthofen - Relatives of note

He was distant cousins with the German Field Marshal Wolfram von Richthofen, as well as Frieda von Richthofen (1879–1956), who married the English novelist D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930) in July 1914. Though their last common ancestor was born in 1661, the Red Baron's infamy nonetheless attached to Frieda's reputation in England. Frieda's sister Else von Richthofen was the first female social scientist in Germany. His younger brother, Lothar von Richthofen (1894–1922), was also a flying ace, with 40 victories. His great-nephew, Baron Dr. Hermann von Richthofen, was German Ambassador to the United Kingdom ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - Facial defects

Physical abnormalities are visible in children with FAS, though not in children with FAE. Generally, children with FAS have a smaller head circumference and low birth weight, and they may fail to thrive. Their facial features are distinctive and diagnostically significant, in that they are a sign of brain damage, although there may be brain damage without the visible facial effects. Dr. Sterling Clarren, one of the world's leading FASD researchers, of t ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Brain implant - Brain implants in fiction and philosophy

In Hilary Putnam's argument of the brain in a vat, he argues that brains, being directly fed with an input from a computer (instead of reality), would have no chance of detecting the deception. In the 1983 film Brainstorm, a scientist develops the technology to record thoughts, feelings, and sensations, and to transfer them to another mind. It also hints at ethical problems when the military is trying to possess the technology. In the book The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton, a man suffering from brain damage cau ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Cognotechnology - Potential applications

According to Yonas, nanotechnology makes it feasible to use brain implants to moderate behavior or brain functioning, allowing brains with disorders or brains that have been damaged to function normally.[2] Another developing field of cognotechnology focuses on remote sensing brain function. Sensed brain function will include the intention to commit deception, and according to Yonas, is likely to be used for more efficient iden ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Senescence - Chemical damage

It is also suggested that damage to long-lived biopolymers, such as structural proteins or DNA, caused by ubiquitous chemical agents in the body such as oxygen and sugars, are in part responsible for aging. The damage can include breakage of biopolymer chains, cross-linking of biopolymers, or chemical attachment of unnatural substituents (haptens) to biopolymers. Under normal aerobic conditions, approximately 4% of the oxygen metabolized by mitochondria is converted to superoxide ion which can subsequently be converted to hydrogen per ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Senescence - Theories of aging

The process of senescence is complex, and may derive from a variety of different mechanisms and exist for a variety of different reasons. However, senescence is not universal, and scientific evidence suggests that cellular senescence evolved in certain species as a mechanism to prevent the onset of cancer. In a few simple species, senescence is negligible and cannot be detected. All such species have no "post-mitotic" cells; they reduce the effect of damaging free radicals by cell division and dilution. Such species are not immortal, however ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Traumatic brain injury - Treatment

Medical care usually begins when paramedics or emergency medical technicians arrive on the scene of an accident or when a TBI patient arrives at the emergency department of a hospital. Because little can be done to reverse the initial brain damage caused by trauma, medical personnel try to stabilize the patient and focus on preventing further injury. Primary concerns include insuring proper oxygen supply, maintaining adequate blood flow, and controlling blood pressure. Since many head-injured patients may also have spinal cord injuries, the patient is placed on a back-board and in a neck restraint to ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Senescence - Miscellaneous

Recently, early senescence has been alleged to be a possible unintended outcome of early cloning experiments, Most notably, the issue was raised in the case of Dolly the sheep, following her death from a contageous lung disease. The claim that Dolly's early death involved premature senescence has been vigorously contested (e.g. by Kerry Lynn Macintosh in her book, Illegal Beings: Human Clones and the Law), and Dolly's creator, Dr Ian Wilmut has expressed the view that her illness and death were probably unrelated to the fact that she ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Holographic memory - Holographic theories of human memory

Main article: Holonomic brain theory Karl Pribram and others have proposed that the explanation for equal potentiality in restoring brain function after damage to the brain can be best understood if the brain is a holographic interference biological computer. If information is stored holographically it would function as a wavelet filter and explain opponent process reactions after the withdrawal of a steady ...

brain damage: Encyclopedia II - Aging brain - Aging

Over the years, the human brain shows a decline in function and a change in gene expression. This modulation in gene expression may be due to oxidative DNA damage at promoter regions in the genome. Genes that are down-regulated over the age of 40 include: GluR1 AMPA receptor subunit NMDA R2A receptor subunit (involved in learning) Subunits of the GABA-A receptor Genes involved in long-term potentiation e.g. calmodulin 1 and CAM kinase II alpha. Calcium signalling genes Synaptic plasticity genes Synaptic vesicle ...
