By

Personal injuries such as a blow to the head lead to at least 1.4 million traumatic brain injuries each year in the U.S. Signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury or TBI can include: chronic neck pain, headaches, confusion, dizziness, memory loss, difficulty focusing or concentrating, extreme grogginess, fatigue, loss of balance, nausea, blurred vision, ringing in the head, sleeping too much or too little, loss of at least one of the five senses, seizures, aphasia (problems understanding and expressing language), loss of motor control or movement, uncontrollable jerking or twitching, and/or dysphasia (not being able to swallow or chew correctly). While some of these symptoms rarely occur, it is important to be able to identify them all and get treatment immediately.

There are many causes of TBI – car accidents, firearms, blows to the head, and falls are the most common causes. Because TBI cannot be cured, prevention is the best approach. According to the CDC, there are some groups of people at heightened risk of receiving a traumatic brain injury:

  • Approximately 18% of all TBI-related emergency department visits involved children aged 0 to 4 years.
  • Approximately 22% of all TBI-related hospitalizations involved adults aged 75 years and older.
  • Males are more often diagnosed with a TBI (59% of traumatic brain injuries).

TBI Prevention Methods:

  • Always wear a seatbelt in a motor vehicle
  • Use an appropriate child safety seat or a booster
  • Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Always wear a helmet to prevent a blow to the head when on a bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, snowmobile, in contact sports, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, skating, and skateboarding

Fall Prevention Methods:

  • Use the rails on stairways
  • Provide adequate lighting, especially on stairs for people with poor vision or who have difficulty walking
  • Place bars or safety locks on windows to prevent children from falling and receiving a blow to the head
  • Do not leave obstacles on stairways or in walking pathways

Gun Safety:

  • Keep guns locked in a cabinet and out of reach of children
  • Store guns unloaded and apart from ammunition

There are many different kinds of treatments available for patients suffering from a TBI:

  • Initial Treatment stabilizes the individual immediately following the initial injury
  • Rehabilitative Care Center Treatment helps restore the patient to daily life
  • Acute Treatment of a Traumatic Brain Injury is aimed at minimizing secondary injury and life support
  • Surgical Treatment may be used to prevent secondary injury by helping to maintain blood flow and oxygen to the brain and minimize swelling and pressure

Traumatic brain injuries are complex and can manifest themselves with an array of symptoms and disabilities. The impact on an individual and their loved ones can be devastating.

This Camper That Doubles As A Boat Is A Game Changer

The future of road-tripping has arrived and it’s a camper that is also a boat.

Published

on

There are a lot of different ways to vacay. Some people love to travel the globe. See new countries, experience different cultures, and, of course, try new food. Some people don’t need all that and can enjoy themselves just escaping a couple hours out of town for a day or two.

Then there are those “free spirits” I keep hearing about. Those people that just jump in the car and start driving. No real destination in mind. No idea how long the latest adventure will last. More often than not these people are either expert campers… or they have an actual camper. And there’s a new one out there that’s about to blow their minds.

Introducing the Sealander Caravan. Doesn’t look like much, does it? Actually looks kind of small, doesn’t it? Well, there’s more than meets the eye with this mini camper. Because in addition to having wheels and the fact that it can easily be hitched to the back of a truck, it also doubles as a boat!

That’s right. You heard me. This thing operates as both a camper and a boat. So you can cruise down the highway and pull over whenever you like and sleep in your camper. Or you can take that thing out in the water and have a beautiful candlelit dinner with your sweetie in the middle of a lake.

While on the water it’s controlled by an outboard motor and can go up to 20-25 miles per hour. And the inside is practically a transformer. There’s a bench and table configuration that can accommodate seating for four. Then you can remove the table and fold out the benches to make a bed that easily fits two people. You can even get yours upgraded to include a bathroom and cooking utilities!

Now I know what you’re thinking. How much does this brilliant invention cost? Well, it’s actually pretty reasonable! The most basic model runs at around $17,000. And then the price will obviously go up from there as you customize and add more features.

And that’s not all! While you need a special license to drive most boats, there is no special license required to take this beauty out on the water! It meets all safety requirements for both land and water around the world. Be right back, I’ve got to buy one of these like now!
