Subsequent Emergency Department Visits in Geriatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Relationship with Fall, Payor, and Discharge Outcome
Background/Objectives: Older adults (ages ≥ 65) have experienced longer recovery, decreased independence in self-care, and reduced quality of life after diagnosis of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Although the sequela following mTBI has also generated higher healthcare costs in older adults, the research on associations returning to the emergency department (ED) has been limited. This […]
Resting-State Brain Activity Changes and Their Genetic Correlates in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often leads to persistent cognitive and emotional symptoms, but the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unclear. Although previous studies have reported alterations in resting-state brain activity in mTBI patients, the findings have been inconsistent, and the genetic basis of these changes has not been fully explored. A coordinate-based voxel-wise meta-analysis was […]
Depression Symptoms Associated With Clinical Symptoms, Disability, and Functional Connectivity After Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that depression after TBI may not be a unitary syndrome but rather may be composed of clusters of symptoms that have different associations with TBI symptom burden, disability, and brain connectivity.
The Polytrauma Clinical Triad Among Women with a History of Intimate Partner Violence
Women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) are at risk for traumatic brain injury (TBI) with persistent neurobehavioral symptoms, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and chronic pain, which, together, characterize the polytrauma clinical triad. Among predominantly male Veteran samples, research has suggested that the triad may exacerbate health problems, compared with the presence of […]
Understanding Beliefs and Perceptions of Parents, Coaches, and Organizational Leaders toward Non-concussive Head Impact Exposure in Youth American Football
Concussions are a prevalent public health concern; however, non-concussive head impacts without signs and symptoms of concussion may have a greater influence on brain health. The objective of this study was to apply components of the health belief model to perceptions of non-concussive head impacts and preventative efforts to reduce head impacts in youth American […]
