`(d) DEFINITION- For purposes of this section, the term `traumatic Brain injury' means an acquired injury to the Brain. Such term does not include Brain dysfunction caused by congenital or degenerative disorders, nor birth trauma, but may include Brain injuries caused by anoxia due to near drowning. The Secretary may revise the definition of such term as the Secretary determines necessary.'.

Traumatic Brain Injury: Hope Through Research: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
Patients in a vegetative state are unconscious and unaware of their surroundings, but they continue to have a sleep-wake cycle and can have periods of alertness. Unlike coma, where the patients eyes are closed, patients in a vegetative state often open their eyes and may move, groan, or show reflex responses. A vegetative state can result from diffuse injury to the cerebral hemispheres of the Brain without damage to the lower Brain and brainstem. Anoxia, or lack of oxygen to the Brain, which is a common complication of cardiac arrest, can also bring about a vegetative state.

107 CMR 12.00: Statewide Head Injury Program
(d) severe whiplash injury causing internal damage to the Brain ( e.g . shaken baby syndrome). For the purposes of SHIP eligibility, Brain damage secondary to other neurological insults (e.g. infection of the Brain, stroke, anoxia, Brain tumor) is not considered to be a traumatic Brain injury as defined within 107 CMR 12.00.

Executive Summary
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that slightly over 2% of the U.S. population or roughly 227,000 Ohioans currently live with disabilities resulting from traumatic Brain injury . This figure does not take into account children, those living in institutional settings (for example nursing homes, prisons, or psychiatric hospitals), those with "mild" injuries, those with non-traumatic or acquired Brain injury (damage due to anoxia or stroke for example) or those whose Brain injury has gone undetected.

Department of Human Services
This means that congenital disorders (such as cerebral palsy), birth trauma (such as "forceps birth") and degenerative disorders (such as multiple sclerosis) are not covered under the Fund. However, other injuries such as stroke, anoxia and traumatic Brain injury would be eligible.

Acquired Brain Injury Technical Assistance Brief (TAB 2001-01)
In addition to traumatic Brain injury, there are numerous other types of events that can lead to an acquired Brain injury, such as stroke, aneurysm, anoxia, encephalitis, Brain tumors, Brain toxins (e.g. overuse of alcohol or drugs) or other conditions. These types of Brain injuries can have similar effects on a person's cognitive, physical and behavioral functioning, depending on how and to what extent the damage to Brain tissue has occurred.

Information Supplied With Tissue
Only healthy animals will be used. However, tumors may exist within organs that are undetectable at necropsy. No replacements will be provided for organs containing tumors undetectable at necropsy. Brain, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs are frozen within 5 minutes of anoxia, and all other tissues are frozen within 10 minutes of anoxia.
