| Abstract |
The efficacy of piracetam in treating the sequelae of moderate and severe closed craniocerebral trauma (CCT) in adolescents was evaluated in studies of 42 patients aged 12-18 years who had suffered CCT 1.5-5 years prior to the study. Adolescents of the experimental group (20 individuals) received piracetam (Nootropil) at doses of 40-50 mg/kg (daily daily 1600-2400 mg) for one month; patients of group 2 (22 individuals) served as controls. Piracetam was found to have positive therapeutic effects on impairments to higher mental (memory, attention, executive) and motor (coordination) functions and on measures of the speeds of cognitive and motor operations. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 July 2014.
All research outputs
#7,452,489
of 22,783,848 outputs
Outputs from Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology
#36
of 184 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,850
of 93,554 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,783,848 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 184 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 93,554 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
