Difficulties in verbalizing emotions in patients with functional neurological disorder: An investigation of the extent of mismatch in self-reported and task-induced emotional responses
Study Overview The investigation focused on understanding the challenges faced by patients with functional neurological disorder (FND) when it comes to expressing their emotions verbally. FND is a condition characterized by neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by medical or neurological diseases. It often leads to significant distress and impairment, with emotional regulation being a… Read more: Difficulties in verbalizing emotions in patients with functional neurological disorder: An investigation of the extent of mismatch in self-reported and task-induced emotional responses
An Online Learning Module From the National RA Society for People With Rheumatoid Arthritis to Support Self-Management of Pain and Flares: A Service Evaluation
Study Overview The article examines a dedicated online learning module developed by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Society aimed at assisting individuals with rheumatoid arthritis in managing their pain and flare-ups. The core intention of this initiative is to enhance self-management strategies among patients, thereby improving their overall quality of life. The module provides resources… Read more: An Online Learning Module From the National RA Society for People With Rheumatoid Arthritis to Support Self-Management of Pain and Flares: A Service Evaluation
Difficulties in verbalizing emotions in patients with functional neurological disorder: An investigation of the extent of mismatch in self-reported and task-induced emotional responses
Study Overview The research investigates the complexities faced by individuals with functional neurological disorder (FND) in articulating their emotions. FND is a condition characterized by neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by conventional medical diagnoses, often leading to significant challenges in the psychological and emotional realms of affected individuals. This study specifically aims to examine… Read more: Difficulties in verbalizing emotions in patients with functional neurological disorder: An investigation of the extent of mismatch in self-reported and task-induced emotional responses
Left atrial appendage closure for atrial fibrillation stroke prevention in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is effective and safe with simplified, time-limited antithrombotic therapy
Study Overview The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) as a preventive measure against strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation who also have hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that significantly increases the risk of stroke, particularly when combined with conditions like HHT, which can… Read more: Left atrial appendage closure for atrial fibrillation stroke prevention in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is effective and safe with simplified, time-limited antithrombotic therapy

Rethinking Head Computed Tomography (CT) in the Emergency Department: From Reflex Imaging to Reasoned Care
Head computed tomography (CT) is among the most frequently ordered tests in emergency care, yet its use for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) remains highly variable. Contemporary practice patterns reflect this: head CT is obtained in >80% of emergency department (ED) evaluations for suspected mTBI, and in older adults presenting after a fall, approximately half […]
Blood Biomarkers for Identifying Epidural Hematoma in Patients Presenting with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 13-15: A Collaborative European Neurotrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) Study
Triage of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and possible isolated epidural hematoma (iEDH) remains a clinical challenge. Blood-based biomarkers are being integrated into mTBI management, but their ability to identify patients with iEDH is uncertain. In this prospective, multicenter cohort study from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury study, […]
Comparing people with persisting post-concussion symptoms from an emergency department-based research sample with patients in a clinical rehabilitation sample: an explorative, retrospective analysis
CONCLUSION: Treatment-seeking patients with persisting post-concussion symptoms differed in clinically important ways from people who developed persisting post-concussion symptoms in an emergency department-based mild traumatic brain injury study. Results from studies of mild traumatic brain injury seen in the emergency department may not generalize to patients seeking specialized treatment for persisting post-concussion symptoms.
The protective role of - and delta-opioid receptor blockage on memory deficits after mild traumatic brain injury is dependent on preexisting high endogenous opioid tone
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) causes deficits in memory formation and retrieval by disrupting the balance in synaptic excitability and inhibition. The pre-trauma endogenous opioid tone could influence the severity of post-trauma cognitive deficits. Thus, the current investigation aimed to evaluate how post-mTBI adaptations in opioid receptor subtype signaling affect the severity of memory dysfunction […]
The Leaky Pipeline of Injury: Disparities at Multiple Junctures for Children with Head Trauma
CONCLUSIONS: We identified a "leaky pipeline of injury," with multiple increasing disparities present at each juncture along the healthcare journey of children with head trauma. Although our findings are specific to head injury, this study likely applies to other injuries and disease processes in the pediatric population, helping to identify key targets for future interventions.
