In the United States, the direct and indirect costs of care for individuals suffering a traumatic brain injury (TBI) are estimated at more than $56 billion annually. The overall impact is even more ...substantial when one considers that the majority of severe head injuries occur in adolescents and young adults. Following head trauma, the spectrum of TBI ranges from concussion to diffuse axonal injury with irreversible coma. Within this spectrum lie the patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhages (TIH).

Book Chapter
Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) accounts for a significant proportion of combat casualties (1,2) as well as civilian trauma (3). Among those casualties reaching medical care, ...neurotrauma victims comprise a substantial fraction of the combat fatalities (2). In the United States, trauma is the most common cause of death and permanent disability, with neurologic injuries accounting for most of this morbidity and mortality (3,4). These injuries mostly consist of blunt and penetrating trauma to the head and spinal cord. Because of the complexity and delicacy of the nervous system, injuries of this type remain the most perplexing to treat, and very often, despite impeccable management, the outcome is disappointing. The human nervous system is an unforgiving entity, and insults to its integrity, whether through direct trauma or the sequelae of metabolic aberrancy, often result in irreversible dysfunction. For these reasons many treatment providers regard the nervous system as overwhelmingly daunting and are timorously apprehensive when medical intervention is required. This chapter focuses on brain injury caused by trauma and includes discussions on its epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
While gain or loss is not generally recognized by a partner or partnership when property is distributed, gain is recognized if the partnership makes a disproportionate distribution of certain ..."Section 751 assets." Internal Revenue Code Section 751 prevents a partnership from making certain kinds of income shifts. These assets are defined as unrealized receivables and substantially appreciated inventory. Section 751 applies only in an exchange of these assets for an interest in a partnership. The partner's share of the Section 751 assets and how much of those assets the partners actually received must be considered in determining the tax consequences to a distributee partner. In addition, the assumption of a partner's liabilities by the partnership is treated as a distribution of cash by the partnership. Section 751 may apply if there is a merger of 2 or more partnerships and when a partnership makes distributions and then completely liquidates.
