The Diagnostic and Prognostic Role of Biomarkers in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: An Umbrella Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The findings underscore the clinical promise of fluid biomarkers in the management of mTBI. S100B and GFAP are particularly valuable as screening and confirmatory markers, respectively. Nonetheless, further standardization of biomarker thresholds and additional longitudinal studies are necessary to validate the roles of UCH-L1, NfL, and Tau protein. The integration of these biomarkers into […]
Exo70 Protects Against Memory and Synaptic Impairments Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), a leading cause of disability in young adults, often results from external forces that damage the brain. Cellularly, mTBI induces oxidative stress, characterized by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and diminished antioxidant capacity. This redox imbalance disrupts hippocampal glutamatergic transmission and synaptic plasticity, where NMDA receptors (NMDARs) are crucial. The […]
Neurobiology of Chronic Pain, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONS: Common therapeutic processes, such as focusing on sensitization, might be helpful for these conditions. As for causal mechanisms related to sensitization in the causality of psychological injuries, the major ones hypothesized relate to the biopsychosocial model, psychological control, and activation-inhibition coordination.
Neurocognitive Outcomes After Extracranial Surgery and General Anesthesia in Patients with a History of Mild-to-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury: Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis
Accelerated neurocognitive decline associated with surgeries under general anesthesia (GA), a phenomenon referred to as postoperative neurocognitive disorder (PND), is a significant public health concern. It not only poses inherent risks but may also contribute to the development of other neurodegenerative disorders. We systematically searched five databases for studies examining cognitive function in patients with […]
Assessment of White Matter Changes Using Quantitative T1rho Mapping in an Open-Field Low-Intensity Blast Mouse Model of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
Blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) occurs when shock waves travel through blood vessels and cerebrospinal fluid, leading to cerebral demyelination, which results in cognitive impairments and neuropsychiatric issues that impact quality of life. This study aims to evaluate myelin changes in white matter in mice with mTBI induced by an open-field low-intensity blast (LIB) […]
