Differential DNA Methylation of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Gene is Observed after Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Compared with Orthopedic Injury
Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers biological changes that may differ from those observed in non-brain injuries. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) DNA methylation (DNAm) may serve as a novel, dynamic biomarker of the brain's response and help identify TBI-specific epigenetic patterns relevant to later recovery. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether […]
Patterns, severity, and outcomes of traumatic brain injury in a regional referral hospital in Kenya: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: The study highlights the high burden of preventable TBI from RTAs and assaults in this setting. The high assault rate, low imaging access, and limited neurosurgical intervention capacity are major concerns. While the findings are limited to admitted patients and short-term outcomes, they underscore the urgent need for targeted road safety initiatives, improved access […]
Efficacy and safety of exosomes from Wharton's Jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells in traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSION: MSCdE therapy is safe and effective in improving motor function, cognition, and quality of life in TBI patients. Larger, controlled trials are needed to further validate these findings and optimize MSCdE therapy for TBI treatment.
Traumatic Brain Injury Across the Lifespan and in Conflict Zones
Traumatic brain injury is increasingly recognized as a chronic, age-dependent and context-dependent neurological condition rather than being just a singular event. Its incidence, mechanisms, and outcomes may vary across the lifespan, with children, adults, and older adults exhibiting distinct clinical trajectories. These injuries can lead to long-term cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial challenges that may only […]
Sex Differences in Subacute Blood Biomarker Levels and Associations With Post-Concussion Symptom Severity in Adolescents With Concussion
CONCLUSION: This study highlights sex-specific biomarker differences during adolescent concussion recovery and the importance of understanding how sex differences may influence symptom burden and recovery trajectories. Future research should examine hormonal influences on biomarker profiles and prolonged symptomatology.
