New Technology Could Deliver Drugs to Brain Injuries

New Technology Could Deliver Drugs to Brain Injuries

 This research is good news for those with brain injuries.  The number of people who sustain brain injuries every year is staggering.  As the article says, the initial injury cannot be repaired, at least the effect of the injuries can be minimized.
  

 About 2.5 million people in the US sustain traumatic brain injuries each year, usually resulting from car crashes, falls, and violence. While the initial injury cannot be repaired, the damaging effects of breaking open brain cells and blood vessels that ensue over the following hours and days can be minimized.
