Cerebral vasospasm remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after an aneurysmal rupture. Despite being a significant source of morbidity and mortality, death and disability from vasospasm have declined from approximately 35% in the early
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common neurosurgical problem with a high morbidity and mortality. Studies interested in defining possible therapeutic targets in TBI have led to an appreciation of two phases of injury. These phases are referred to as primary and secondary TBI. The primary injury
