The latter has been studied by engaging nociceptive fibers using electrical stimulation or capsaicin caudal to a thoracic SCI. Nociceptive stimulation 1\u202fday after SCI increases hemorrhage, amplifying secondary tissue loss. Noxious stimulation also promotes hemorrhage after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). A common form of polytrauma after SCI involves a TBI. The current study examines whether a concurrent TBI promotes hemorrhage after SCI. This also allowed us to evaluate whether a concurrent SCI promotes brain hemorrhage after TBI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Animals received a thoracic SCI and a concurrent brain surgery (anesthesia alone, craniectomy, or TBI). Other animals received a TBI to the frontal region and a concurrent spinal surgery (anesthesia alone, laminectomy, or SCI). Tissue was collected 24\u202fh later, sectioned, and the extent of brain\/spinal cord hemorrhage was quantified. Sham controls were included to verify a remote injury (SCI\/TBI) does not induce hemorrhage in the absence of local neural damage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A concurrent TBI with a SCI amplified hemorrhage in the spinal cord. A craniectomy had an intermediate effect on hemorrhage. Additionally, concurrent SCI with a TBI increased hemorrhage in the brain with a more modest effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results provide a link between hemorrhage development and concurrent neural injuries, with greater hemorrhage observed after SCI in animals with a concurrent TBI.
