Reviva Brain ReviewsPosted by Reviva Brain Reviews on September 15th, 2018 The brain is one of the most delicate organs of the human body and as such, it can be incredibly vulnerable to serious damage in the event of a head injury. Depending on the injuries sustained, the resulting damage can affect one or many regions of the brain with 5% of cases being classed as a moderate form of injury and 10% as severe. Patients in the latter can be left with a debilitating and life-long disability. Our brain is fragile and incredibly susceptible to damage in one of two ways; as the result of a Traumatic brain injury or an Acquired brain injury. Reviva Brain Reviews While traumatic and acquired brain injuries can occur in different circumstances, the effects are similarly harmful to the patient's quality of life, having an impact upon everything from the way we think and feel to our physical movements, bodily functions and our sensory perception which allows us to react to and process information. A traumatic head injury can be extremely serious as it causes both physical and cellular damage to the brain. This particular brain injury is the result of a direct blow to the head, often with a force strong enough to break through and shatter the skull, causing immediate damage to the soft, sensitive brain tissue. At the very least, damage can still be caused to the brain by it moving about within the skull which can result in the separation of nerve fibres. The most common cause of traumatic brain injury is car crashes and road accidents which cause brain damage by rapid movement inside the skull as mentioned above. Other injuries to cause traumatic injury to the brain include extreme sports, falls, firearms and physical violence. One of the few unnatural forms of traumatic injury is Shaken baby syndrome, a potentially fatal act of child abuse in which a baby is forcefully shaken with such violence that the child's brain rebounds against the skull, which can also be linked to spinal injuries. The effects are similar to that of road accidents and cases of whiplash in that the head is shaken vigorously in one direction or another. In an infant, these effects are far more life-threatening and can usually lead to instant death. Shaken baby syndrome or SBS is an offence punishable with life imprisonment and one of the most serious forms of brain damage should the child survive the incident as it is made to live with the disabling repercussions in adulthood.
