| | Contusion of the Brain |
| | • A contusion is a bruise of the brain. | | | • Microscopically the contusion looks like a triangular shaped infarct with pallor and spongy change early associated with hemorrhages. | | | • Contusions are associated with edema and if large enough can lead to death from herniation or if the patient survives there may be some frontal lobe deficits such as poor judgement. |

| | Chest Trauma |
| | Fractures of the sternum are often associated with myocardial contusions, but cardiac injury can be seen without severe anterior chest injury. | | | Myocardial contusion is a physical bruising of the cardiac muscle. | | | If no other injuries requiring hospitalization are present, the decision to hospitalize the chest-injury patient to rule out myocardial contusion must be based on the clinical picture — for example, the presence of substernal pain or a bent steering column. |

| | AAOS Online Service Fact Sheet Muscle Contusion (Bruise) |
| | Contusions cause swelling and pain and limit joint range of motion near the injury. | | | Your doctor may give you nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or other medications for pain relief. | | | Myositis ossificans: Young athletes who try to rehabilitate a severe contusion too quickly sometimes develop myositis ossificans — a condition in which the bruised muscle grows bone instead of new muscle cells. |

| | Screening echocardiography is not of value in blunt chest trauma because the majority of patients with myocardial contusion remain asymptomatic. | | | Based on retrospective analysis of 50 patients admitted to surgical ICU for suspicion of myocardial contusion, a protocol to rule out myocardial contusion was developed and applied prospectively to the next 230 consecutive patients admitted. | | | Myocardial contusion in patients with blunt chest trauma as evaluated by thallium 201 myocardial scintigraphy. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Myocardial contusion |
| | Myocardial contusion is a "bruise" of the heart muscle, often caused by blunt trauma to the chest following falls, motor vehicle accidents, or cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). | | | This can cause abnormal heart movement and "stunning" of the affected area of heart muscle. | | | This may lead to prolonged weakness in the ability of the heart to contract. |

| | The Xerox Effect on the Importance of Pre-Biotic Evolution by Howard Bloom |
| | These 72 have made their way through a slew of natural selection's slings and arrows unparalleled by anything that breathes. | | | Natural selection worked with extreme ferocity in the first nanoseconds of the Big Bang and in the 300,000 years that followed. | | | They've endured the catastrophe of cosmic expansion, the disasters of galactic recompression, the eruption of stellar-center hells, the frigid chill of space, collision, contusion, explosion, intrusion, and the vagaries of ten billion years more time than any thing that ever rose from a mere twitch of RNA. |
