Psychological distress and seizure-related risks in forcibly displaced children: impending crisis triggered by wars and conflicts
Impact of Forced Displacement on Mental Health The phenomenon of forced displacement significantly affects the mental health of affected individuals, particularly children. Displacement can arise due to various factors such as war, conflict, or natural disasters, fostering an environment of uncertainty and instability. The repercussions on mental health are multifaceted, featuring increased rates of anxiety,… Read more: Psychological distress and seizure-related risks in forcibly displaced children: impending crisis triggered by wars and conflicts
An Evolving Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Following Liver Transplant: Trauma-Related Symptoms, Functional Neurologic Disorder, and Delirium
Understanding Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Neuropsychiatric symptoms are a complex set of disorders that affect how individuals think, feel, and behave, particularly following significant medical procedures such as liver transplants. These symptoms can manifest as cognitive impairments, mood disorders, or behavioral changes, and often significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. A growing body of research indicates… Read more: An Evolving Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Following Liver Transplant: Trauma-Related Symptoms, Functional Neurologic Disorder, and Delirium
Quantitative Measurement of Hoover’s Sign: Development of a Standardized Sensor, Interface Procedure, and Testing in Healthy Individuals
Background and Rationale The measurement of Hoover’s sign—a clinical test used to assess neurological function, primarily in patients with suspected lower limb weakness—has historically lacked a standardized approach, leading to variability in results and interpretation. Hoover’s sign, characterized by a specific leg reaction during voluntary muscle testing, indicates the ability or inability of the non-affected… Read more: Quantitative Measurement of Hoover’s Sign: Development of a Standardized Sensor, Interface Procedure, and Testing in Healthy Individuals
Psychological distress and seizure-related risks in forcibly displaced children: impending crisis triggered by wars and conflicts
Psychological Impact on Displaced Children The psychological consequences faced by children who have been forcibly displaced due to conflict or war are profound and multifaceted. These children often experience a range of emotional and psychological challenges that can hinder their development and well-being. Many are exposed to traumatic events, including violence, loss of family members,… Read more: Psychological distress and seizure-related risks in forcibly displaced children: impending crisis triggered by wars and conflicts
An Evolving Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Following Liver Transplant: Trauma-Related Symptoms, Functional Neurologic Disorder, and Delirium
Patient Characteristics In examining the patient population who undergo liver transplantation, it is essential to recognize that their profiles can be quite diverse, reflecting a variety of underlying liver diseases, comorbidities, and demographic factors. The majority of liver transplant recipients are adults, predominantly males, reflecting the higher prevalence of liver disease among this demographic. However,… Read more: An Evolving Neuropsychiatric Syndrome Following Liver Transplant: Trauma-Related Symptoms, Functional Neurologic Disorder, and Delirium

Brain network functional connectivity alterations associated with acute posttraumatic headache
CONCLUSION: In participants with PTH, the DMN regions showing decreased connectivity also exhibited associations with headache frequency, state and trait anxiety, and number of lifetime mTBIs, suggesting that these changes relate to the severity and persistence of post-mTBI symptoms. The baseline differences in network connectivity between recovered and nonrecovered participants were not statistically significant after […]
Partially thrombosed anterior communicating artery aneurysm mimicking a suprasellar tumor: Microsurgical reconstruction after aneurysmotomy and ultrasonic thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Partially thrombosed anterior communicating artery aneurysms may mimic suprasellar tumors and represent an important diagnostic challenge. In selected cases with branch incorporation, broad-neck morphology, and significant thrombotic burden, microsurgical reconstruction remains a safe and effective treatment strategy. Aneurysmotomy combined with ultrasonic thrombectomy facilitates visualization of the true aneurysm neck and may assist complex clip […]
Discriminant and Prognostic Validity of the Multimodal Exertional Test (MET) for Athletes with Concussion
CONCLUSION: The MET demonstrates discriminant validity by eliciting greater symptom provocation in athletes with concussion compared to healthy athletes. Improvements in symptoms and completion rates over 8 weeks indicate recovery-related gains in exertional tolerance. The MET also demonstrates predictive validity, as passing the test at week 1 was associated with faster time to medical clearance, […]
Identifying Frailty and Its Associated Factors Among Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury in Vietnam
CONCLUSIONS: GFI-defined frailty was common among reachable adults discharged after TBI from this single hospital. The identified relationships are cross-sectional associations and may partly reflect overlap between frailty, functional limitation, psychological burden, and social-support needs. Post-discharge follow-up should consider functional, psychological, social, occupational, and financial vulnerability in addition to neurological symptoms. Multicenter longitudinal studies incorporating...
Concussion Diagnosis, Management, and Functional Recovery: An Interdisciplinary and Evidence-Based Approach
Sport-related concussion is a common and clinically complex form of mild traumatic brain injury with significant academic, occupational, and psychosocial consequences. Management has shifted away from prolonged strict rest to early, symptom-limited activity and targeted rehabilitation. Concussion remains a clinical diagnosis, and routine neuroimaging is typically normal. Symptoms may evolve over hours to days, and […]
