That many returning veterans have TBI will likely mean long-term challenges for them and their family members. Further, many veterans will have undiagnosed brain injury because not all TBIs have immediately recognized effects or are easily diagnosed with neuroimaging techniques. In an effort to detail the long term consequences of TBI, the committee read and evaluated some 1,900 studies that made up its literature base, and it developed criteria for inclusion of studies to inform its findings. It is clear that brain injury, whether penetrating or closed, has serious consequences. The committee sought to detail those consequences as clearly as possible and to provide a scientific framework to assist veterans as they return home. 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases$zUnited States 606 $aPersian Gulf syndrome$zUnited States 606 $aBrain$xWounds and injuries$zUnited States 606 $aVeterans$xMental health$zUnited States 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xHealth aspects 615 0$aPersian Gulf War, 1991$xVeterans$xDiseases 615 0$aPersian Gulf syndrome 615 0$aBrain$xWounds and injuries 615 0$aVeterans$xMental health 676 $a956.7044 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on Gulf War and Health: Brain Injury in Veterans and Long-Term Health Outcomes. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bBoard on Population Health and Public Health Practice. 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956006903321 996 $aGulf War and health$93924321 997 $aUNINA
