S100B is released into the blood stream by astrocytes in the brain when brain injury occurs. The authors investigated whether a specific threshold level of S100B would indicate the absence of ...

[14,15] Low serum levels of the protein are found in healthy individuals while patients with head trauma have a level of S100B proportionate with the severity of their brain injury. [16] S100B has ...

S100B is used as a blood marker for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that indicates damage to the blood-brain barrier and is sometimes used to diagnose brain injuries in Europe, he said. That barrier ...

The S100B levels, while elevated, were well below levels associated with brain injury. In brain-injured patients, the presence of S100B in the blood can increase by several hundred percent.

and S100B and GFAP, two proteins found in the brain’s glial cells, not neurons. They wanted to tease out the “kinetics” for these biomarkers. Do the levels spike immediately after an injury ...

A newly proposed framework expands acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessment beyond the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).

S100B is released into the blood stream by astrocytes in the brain when brain injury occurs. The authors investigated whether a specific threshold level of S100B would indicate the absence of ...

No patients needed neurosurgical intervention. One patient died as a result of a head injury; an 83-year-old man with an S100B level of 0.23μg/L and a CT showing expansive cerebral contusions who ...
