EVALUATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL ON THE RECOVERY PROCESSES AFTER TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES
One of the most popular damage is brain injury, whose effects are very dangerous sometimes. Alcohol consumption significantly increases the risks of this pathology. In this scientific work was described clinical cases of brain injury when people take alcohol and do not take it. Laboratory analysis showed that there are erythrocytopenia and disturbance of the rheological properties of blood. It is proved hypoxia negatively effects on cognitive functions. People, who drink alcohol too much, are in the higher risk of thrombosis and cardio vascular diseases. It is proved that level of interleukin-1 is higher after brain injury. That fact proves that there is an inflammation reaction in brain injury area. Levels of patellar, knee-jerk ahilov reflexes are low. Muscular tonus in extremities is low too. Alcohol badly effects on cerebellum work, which brings to disturbance of coordinated movements. Moreover, alcohol effects on hippocampus, which appears in degradation of memory and learning skills. The size of alcoholics brain was smaller than of healthy people. Recovery of alcoholics passes slower than recovery of healthy people.
