Latest guidelines for mild traumatic brain injury assessment
Mild traumatic brain injury, commonly known as concussion, involves subtle yet significant disruptions to brain function following external force. Updated clinical guidelines emphasise structured evaluation, recognising that symptoms may be transient but complex. Diagnosis relies heavily on clinical assessment rather than imaging, with emerging tools supporting decision-making. Careful follow-up, patient education, and graduated return-to-activity protocols are essential to promote recovery and prevent complications, reflecting an evolving, patient-centred approach to this heterogeneous condition.

Computational Modelling of Protected and Unprotected Head Impacts in Rugby
This study involved the simulation of five real-world head impact events in rugby, to assess the level of protection provided by a novel foam headguard, the N-Pro. The University College Dublin Brain Trauma Model (UCDBTM) was used to estimate the peak resultant head accelerations and brain tissue responses in different head impact scenarios. The input […]
Computed Tomography Findings of Children Under 3 Years of Age with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and No Neurological Focal Signs
Background/Objectives: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a leading cause of pediatric emergency department visits, particularly among children under three years old. Although computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for diagnosing intracranial injuries, its use in young children poses radiation risks. Identifying reliable clinical indicators that justify CT imaging is essential for optimizing both […]
Concussions Are Associated With Increases in Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Risk in American-Style Football Athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Concussions sustained during collegiate ASF participation are independently associated with markers of cardiovascular risk and acquired maladaptive cardiovascular phenotypes. Clinical ASF concussion management strategies inclusive of careful BP surveillance may lead to early identification of hypertension.
The role of cardiovascular response as a predictor of neurologic disability in children with brain injury - a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that elevated early SBP and HRV indices-particularly LF power measured 12 h after PICU admission-may serve as independent, non-invasive predictors of long-term neurological outcomes in children with severe ABI. These findings support the role of early autonomic activation as a marker of favorable prognosis and underscore the potential value of incorporating […]
Point-of-Care Electroencephalography in Acute Neurological Care: A Narrative Review
Point-of-care electroencephalography (POC-EEG) systems are rapid-access, reduced-montage devices designed to address the limitations of conventional EEG (conv-EEG), enabling faster neurophysiological assessment in acute settings. This review evaluates their clinical impact, diagnostic performance, and feasibility in non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and delirium. A comprehensive search of Medline, Scopus, and Embase identified […]
