Novel predictors of postoperative delirium after awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Study Overview This study explores the issue of postoperative delirium in patients undergoing awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease. Delirium, a significant and often overlooked complication, can lead to increased morbidity and a prolonged recovery process. Researchers aimed to identify specific predictors that could forecast the risk of delirium, thereby enabling… Read more: Novel predictors of postoperative delirium after awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Auricular Acupuncture in Older Women With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Study Overview The research conducted focused on evaluating the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture as a treatment option for knee osteoarthritis in older women. This clinical trial aimed to determine whether this alternative therapy could provide relief from pain and improve overall function for this specific demographic, known for suffering from this degenerative joint condition. Osteoarthritis,… Read more: Auricular Acupuncture in Older Women With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Novel predictors of postoperative delirium after awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Study Overview This investigation aimed to identify novel predictors of postoperative delirium specifically following awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Delirium is a common and serious complication that can lead to prolonged hospital stays and adversely affect recovery and quality of life. Recognizing the potential risk factors associated with… Read more: Novel predictors of postoperative delirium after awake subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Comparative Efficacy of Specific Exercise Interventions on Post-Stroke Depression, Anxiety and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Study Overview The systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of various exercise interventions in alleviating post-stroke psychological symptoms, notably depression and anxiety, while also evaluating their impact on cognitive function in older adults. The participants in this analysis were primarily individuals aged 60 and above who had experienced a stroke. Given… Read more: Comparative Efficacy of Specific Exercise Interventions on Post-Stroke Depression, Anxiety and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Mental Health and Wellness Following Large-Scale Catastrophic Events: The Role of the Pediatric Clinician
Mental health impact of catastrophic events The psychological ramifications following large-scale disasters can be profound and enduring, affecting not only individuals directly involved but also those indirectly impacted within the surrounding community. Research indicates that such events can incite a range of mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, and substance… Read more: Mental Health and Wellness Following Large-Scale Catastrophic Events: The Role of the Pediatric Clinician

Advanced imaging-integrated rTMS therapy for frontal network recovery after traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSION: High-frequency left-DLPFC rTMS exposure was associated with improved executive recovery and measurable frontal-network modulation after traumatic brain injury. These findings suggest that multimodal neurophysiological and imaging biomarkers may provide useful measures of target engagement for future prospective studies. Given the retrospective observational design, modest sample size, and short-term follow-up, causal inferences regarding treatment effects […]
Incidence of Concussion in a Cadet and Junior National Wrestling Tournament from 2013 to 2025
CONCLUSIONS: This study represents a comprehensive evaluation of SRCs among boys and girls participating in one of the largest Cadet and Junior National Wrestling Tournament in the United States, with results demonstrate an overall low and declining clinical incidence of SRC. Continued longitudinal surveillance and evidence-based prevention strategies are warranted to sustain and further this […]
A systematic review of brain structural and functional alterations in pediatric mild traumatic brain injury
INTRODUCTION: Pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (pmTBI) constitutes 70-90% of childhood traumatic brain injury cases. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals subtle brain alterations, fragmented evidence across modalities limits understanding of long-term neurobiological consequences.
A Retrospective Chart Review of PTSD Symptoms in Military Servicemembers Participating in an Individually Guided Neuromodulation (Alpha-rTMS) Wellness Program
CONCLUSION: Significant improvements in clinical symptoms were observed in this study. These results underscore the potential for α-rTMS treatment to address the gap in current treatment options by providing effective, safe, non-pharmacological treatment to reduce PTSD symptoms in military and civilian populations.
Exploring the causes and impact of pediatric complicated mild traumatic brain injuries
CONCLUSION: Pediatric c-mTBI predominantly affects males and younger children, with falls as the leading cause across all age groups. As children age, sports-related injuries become more prevalent, with motor vehicle accidents contributing in adolescence. Seasonal and temporal patterns suggest targeted prevention strategies may reduce injury burden.
