Answer to Question 1

autoantibody, B12

Answer to Question 2

TBI-related injuries to the brain have been classified as primary and secondary. The primary brain injury results from the initial penetration or mechanical thrashing of the brain against the interior of the skull, leading to lacerations and crushing of brain tissue. Secondary injuries are those occurring due to the physiological changes that occur during the aftermath of the initial injury. These often include cerebral edema, hemorrhage, hematoma, and infection. These changes can adversely affect brain function by leading to rising intracranial pressure and impaired blood flow. Ultimately, it is the secondary injuries that can lead to destruction of neurons, glia, and axons.
