Louise Cardillo, R.N. LNCC, Cardillo Consultants:"Legal Nurse Consulting firm for ten years.
I am a strong liaison between attorney's, clients and experts. The strength
of all cases is in meticulous attention to detail of medical records and
choosing the appropriate expert. This aspect of consulting will bring cases
to closure with damages often above expectation. Experience in this field
is critical to success."
****************************************************** Brain Injury Resource Sites:
Brain Injury Information Page:"The Brain Injury Information Page provides information about brain injury, concussion, coma and head injury, for TBI survivors, spouses and caregivers.
Our goal is to provide education and assistance with the process of diagnosis and proof of brain injury, sometimes called head injury. This page features articles, information and graphics about traumatic brain injury.
Our View of Advocacy: We of the Brain Injury Law Group make our living as advocates. But advocacy implies more than being a lawyer. It means dedicating oneself to the community we serve - the survivor, the family member of the survivor, the medical professional. To that end, we have created this home page, to provide information, resources and links, to help you learn and solve the problems you face." ******************************************************
Foundation for the Education and Research in Neurological Emergencies:"The Foundation for the Education and Research in Neurological Emergencies is an independent not-for-profit organization." ******************************************************
MENTOR:"MENTOR was established in New Jersey in 1990 to provide needed home and community based rehabilitation services to adults recovering from an acquired brain injury. Since our inception, we have expanded our services to incorporate programs for people with disabilities and children with emotional and behavioral disorders.
Today, MENTOR-New Jersey offers an array of specialized community based services throughout New Jersey and the metropolitan New York area. Whether the need is for intensive, short-term treatment or an extended care program, MENTOR/New Jersey provides personal, caring, goal directed services, carefully designed to meet individual needs and preferences." ******************************************************
Neurotrauma Registry:"To those individuals and families affected by brain injury, spinal cord injury, or other complex neurotrauma, a resource list to assist in the quest for proper care.
To members, including physicians, social workers, case managers, and other professionals dealing with neurotrauma, a forum to provide valuable information regarding their particular services.
To our staff, a valuable experience networking with professionals in creating a meaningful and worthwhile enterprise." ******************************************************
****************************************************** National Brain Injury Associations/Organizations:
Brain Injury Association:"The Brain Injury Association of America was founded in 1980 by a group of individuals who wanted to improve the quality of life for their family members who had sustained brain injuries. Despite phenomenal growth over the past two decades, the Association remains committed to its grassroots. The Brain Injury Association of America encompasses a national network of more than 40 Chartered state affiliates across the country as well as hundreds of local chapters and support groups.
By acting as a clearinghouse of community service information and resources, participating in legislative advocacy, facilitating prevention awareness, hosting educational programs and encouraging research, the Brain Injury Association of America and its affiliates reach the millions of individuals living with the "silent epidemic" of brain injury" ******************************************************
Traumatic Brain Injury Information Page, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS):"Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden physical assault on the head causes damage to the brain. The damage can be focal, confined to one area of the brain, or diffuse, involving more than one area of the brain. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. A closed head injury occurs when the head suddenly and violently hits an object, but the object does not break through the skull. A penetrating head injury occurs when an object pierces the skull and enters the brain tissue. Several types of traumatic injuries can affect the head and brain. A skull fracture occurs when the bone of the skull cracks or breaks. A depressed skull fracture occurs when pieces of the broken skull press into the tissue of the brain. This can cause bruising of the brain tissue, called a contusion. A contusion can also occur in response to shaking of the brain within the confines of the skull, an injury called "countrecoup." Shaken baby syndrome is a severe form of head injury that occurs when a baby is shaken forcibly enough to cause extreme countrecoup injury. Damage to a major blood vessel within the head can cause a hematoma, or heavy bleeding into or around the brain. The severity of a TBI can range from a mild concussion to the extremes of coma or even death. A coma is a profound or deep state of unconsciousness. Symptoms of a TBI may include headache, nausea, confusion or other cognitive problems, a change in personality, depression, irritability, and other emotional and behavioral problems. Some people may have seizures as a result of a TBI." ******************************************************
National Resource Center for Traumatic Brain Injury:"The mission of the National Resource Center for Traumatic Brain Injury is to provide relevant, practical information for professionals, persons with brain injury, and family members. Many of our products were developed by nationally recognized experts. We have more than 20 years of experience developing intervention programs, assessment tools, and investigating the special needs and problems of people with brain injury and their families." ******************************************************
The Perspectives Network, Inc.:"The Perspectives Network, Inc.'s primary focus is positive communication between persons with brain injury, family members/ caregivers/friends of persons with brain injury, those many professionals who treat persons with brain injury and community members in order to create positive changes and enhance public awareness and knowledge of acquired/traumatic brain injury." ******************************************************
Rehabilitation Research Center (RRC) for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI):"The Rehabilitation Research Center (RRC) for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) conducts research to better understand and improve outcomes after TBI and SCI.

Traumatic Brain Injury LawyerShop:"Traumatic Brain Injury Lawyer Shop is a resource that allows you to find information from lawyers in your area who provide legal services pertaining to traumatic brain injury, TBI, closed head injury, concussion, and coma. While most legal directories offer some information about traumatic brain injury and TBI, the most valuable information comes from an attorney or lawyer who has experience involving traumatic brain injury lawsuits, coma lawsuits, concussion lawsuits or closed head injury lawsuits." ******************************************************
Traumatic Brain Injury National Data Center (TBINDC):"The Traumatic Brain Injury National Data Center (TBINDC) at Kessler Medical Rehabilitation Research and Education Center is the coordinating center for the research and dissemination efforts of the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) program funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). The TBI Model Systems consist of 17 comprehensive systems of care distributed throughout the United States that conduct innovative research and provide “model” care to persons who experience traumatic brain injury. The TBIMS program seeks to improve the lives of persons who experience traumatic brain injury, their families and their communities by creating and disseminating new knowledge about the course, treatment and outcomes relating to their condition." ****************************************************** State Associations:
Brain Injury Association of Texas:"The Brain Injury Association of Texas dedicates this site to brain injury survivors, family members, advocates, and brain injury professionals in Texas.

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
