Measurement of S-100B for risk classification of victims sustaining minor head injury: first pilot study in Brazil Medida da proteína S-100B sérica para classificação de risco no trauma craniano leve: estudo piloto no Brasil

BACKGROUND: Release of the neuronal protein S-100B into the circulation has been suggested as a specific indication of neuronal damage. The hypothesis that S-100B is a useful and cost-effective screening tool for the management of minor head injuries was tested. METHODS: Fifty consecutive patients s...
