TBI is considered a leading cause of death in children and young adults, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimating that approximately 1.7 million cases of TBI occur in the United States annually （Faul et al., 2010）. Further, since the begin- ning of the global war on terrorism, the Department of Defense has reported over 344,000 U.S. Service Members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury from penetrating injuries to mild forms of TBI. TBI, caused by a sudden impact, penetration, or rapid move- ment of the brain, interrupts the normal functioning of the brain. While the intracranial location and severity of injury contribute to the extent of functional deficits.展开更多

While the burden of disease associ- ated with other chronic conditions has decreased in recent times due to improved diagnosis and treatment, current therapies for neurodegenerative diseases still fall short in that they are only effective in treating signs and symptoms - they do little to slow or prevent disease progress. Thus, there is an urgent need for treatments that address disease progression.展开更多

It did function well in early years, however, as time goes by, some defects emerge and introducing a new theory to protect humarL rights conditions is necessary. Responsibility to protect evolves from right to interfere and overcomes the deficiencies inherent in its predecessor. But responsibility to protect is not a perfect system, and to improve it, some measures such as establishing a performance evaluation mechanism should be adopted.展开更多

Protection of Human Rights of the Convicted Human rights of the convicted refer to the rights enjoyed or due to be enjoyed by people subject to criminal punishment by virtue of its natural and social attributes. In terms of natural attribute, the convicted are people, despite the fact that they have been sentenced to crmainal punishments. So they should still enjoy human rights. In terms of social attribute, criminals are a special group of people because they have received a negative appraisal by the criminal law due to their criminal behavior （in most cases, a crime is a serious violation of human rights） and, therefore, they enjoy a special legal status, which has made it impossible and improper for them to enjoy the complete human rights just like ordinary people.展开更多
