What does multi focal high T2 signal intensity foci in the sub cortices compatible with tiny ischaemic foci mean?

I think they COULD, but do NOT necessarily suggest MS, particularly if associated with appropriate CLINICAL SYMPTOMS. They do seem to indicate multiple small white matter lesions, possibly relating to hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, infections or inflammatory conditions, as well as perhaps migraine headaches.

So, you need more history and clinical symptoms to even begin to know what it might mean diagnostically.

Phrase-by-phrase, high T2 means "bright spots" on the mri, 'multi focal' probably means many of them, 'sub cortices' means white matter (axons) of the brain, and 'ischaemic' means restriction in blood supply.

I'm NOT a doctor, I'm just guessing from looking at the results from googleing the components of your question, since no one else answered you.

Is it possible for a patient with traumatic brain injury to recover 100%?

It depends on the severity of the injury and what kind of injury it is. I can say that it is unlikely for someone to fully recover from a traumatic brain injury, as even the known "miracle recoveries" often report mental fatigue and 'not being the same as before'.

What is a recurring decimal?

A recurring decimal is a number which is written in decimal notation and in which, after a finite number of digits, a string of digits repeats for ever more. The repeating string need not start straight after the decimal point. For example, 5/26 = 0.1923076923076... with the string 923076 (but not the 1 at its start) repeating for ever.

What are the major organs of the circular system?

The three major organs of the circulatory system are:

1) The Heart: it pumps blood throughout the body.

2) The Brain: It tells the heart when to pump and how fast to pump. The Brain is what tells the heart to speed up during exercise, and to slow down during rest.

3) The Lungs: The lungs bring in air, and the blood goes through the lungs to pick up the oxygen and bring it throughout the rest of the body as the heart pumps.

Is trepanation used by modern sugeons?

No it is not for the most part, and certainly not by that name. Besides, the reasons for trepanation were usually superstitious in nature. When people had severe migraines many years ago, they would assume it was demons in their skull causing the pain. So if you have something in your body that doesn't belong, it is only reasonable to want to let it out, right? So they would drill holes in people's heads for a medical cure or exorcism. Of course, as modern science came along, such ideas were shown to be unfounded and the practice mostly stopped.

There is a guy on BMEzine who thought this procedure would have spiritual effects because it would, in his thinking, make it easier for spirits or whatever to get inside or somehow put him closer to the spirit world. He convinced his friends to help him with this and they seriously studied how to do this, and eventually performed this procedure. After an initial placebo effect, he realized he felt no different than before removing a small piece of his skull.
