Background and Aim: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an essential cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. TBI patients frequently encounter lung complications, such as Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is associated with poor clinical outcome because hypoxia causes additional injury to the brain. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of ALI in patients with TBI and its consequences. Methods and Materials/Patients: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data from all records of patients admitted to Poursina Hospital’, s ICU (emergency and neurosurgery ICU) in 20 18-2019 were used. The evaluated data included age, gender, type of head trauma mechanism, kind of brain injury based on CT scan findings, the severity of brain injury based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), underlying diseases, mean head AIS score, the number of pack cell units injected, as well as bilateral pulmonary infiltration in favor of ALI and brain injury. Results: Only 81 of the 557 TBI cases met the inclusion criteria of the present study. The highest frequency of ALI following TBI was observed on the first day of hospitalization, in men (0. 41%) in the age group of 40-50 years (7%) with severe brain damage (6%) and subdural hematoma (12%), following a motorcycle accident, cars, as well as on the third day of hospitalization were seen in men (43. 8%) with the age group of 20-30 years (55%) with severe brain damage (42%) and intra-parenchymal bleeding (57%), following a motorcycle accident. In addition, no significant correlation was detected between the incidence of ALI and mortality, the duration of hospitalization, GCS, mean head AIS score, or the extent of received blood units in our study. Conclusion: According to the obtained findings, men aged between 20 and 30 years with severe cerebral injury, epidural hematoma and a motorcycle accident presented the highest rate of progression toward ALI in the first to third days of hospitalization.

In football home advantage has been a very important factor in determining the outcome of a game. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of injury in professional football players when playing at home and away. In order to assess injury in professional football league over period 2005-2006, 38 matches from Zobe- Ahan and Sepahan have been selected and were analyzed using video analysis system. The rate of injury, injury time, side and cause of injury both at home and away games were compared and analyzed.The results of this study showed that the rate of injury at away games (n=69) was 14 percent more than home games (0=52) but this difference was not significant (p>0.05). For time of injury results showed that injury in second half (n=68) was more than first half (n=53). For location of injury most of injury occurred in mid field zone (n=87) of the pitch but difference was not significant between the homes and away games. The highest number of injury was moderate (n=64) and happened at the left side of body (n=47). Most injury was occurred due to tackle (n=48) but no significant difference was observed in grade of injury, side of injury when data compared between home and away games. It can be concluded that home advantage had no effect on rate of injury, location of injury, time of injury, side of injury and causes of injury. Therefore, existence of more injury in away games must be considered by health professional and team doctors
