The effects of nimopidine on platelet aggregation in severe head injury
Severe head injury (SHI) is often associated with traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (tSAH), vasospasm, and results in an unfavorable outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nimodipine on platelet aggregation in SHI.

Preface
Since 1972, neurosurgeons met once every few years to report their studies on cerebral vasospasm and discuss future directions in clinical and basic science research of vasospasm. Cerebral vasospasm remains, however, a dark castle that is resistant to any attempts of having its doors cranked open, and therefore, it is resistant to all known vasodilators. The 9th International Conference on Cerebral Vasospasm, held on June 27–30, 2006, was a continued effort among neurosurgeons and neuroscientists worldwide to try to shed light into this dark castle. In the beautiful garden world of Istanbul of Turkey, one of the largest gatherings of vasospasm researchers was held, during which more than 200 participants from over 20 countries presented more than 100 papers. Istanbul is a bridge connecting Europe and Asia and the hope of the organizers was to bring the East and the West, Fengsui and wisdom, together in the battle against cerebral vasospasm. One of the many features of this conference was the featured presentations by leading researchers of cerebral vasospasm. After the opening remarks made by Dr. John Zhang, Chairman of the Scientific Committee, Dr. Talat Kiris, Chairman of the 9th International Conference on Cerebral Vasospasm, and Dr. Mesut Parlak, Rector of Istanbul University, a series of review presentations
