Persistent dysmorphology and dysfunction of the brain microvasculature following repeated trauma
Mild traumatic brain injury typically produces no abnormalities on neuroimaging yet elicits symptoms that, in an increasing fraction of survivors, linger for years, particularly with recurring injuries. To elucidate the underlying biological substrates, we leveraged two-photon fluorescence microscopy resonant scanning and our recently developed deep-learning based pipeline to evaluate the cerebrovascular network in the subacute […]
Knowledge and attitude about sport related concussions in European American football leagues
This study examines concussion knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among European American football athletes using an online survey. Data from 256 players (mean age 26.8 years (SD 4.9); 7.4 (SD 4.5) years of experience) across some of the highest leagues (Austrian Football League, German Football League, European League of Football) revealed an average concussion knowledge index […]
Building emotional self-awareness teletherapy in civilians and service members with mild traumatic brain injury
CONCLUSIONS: Findings support the preliminary efficacy of BEST at improving psychological health in civilian and military participants with mild TBI who have elevated alexithymia and emotion dysregulation. However, larger trials with more rigorous designs are necessary to determine the true impact of BEST.
Neurobehavioral disorders: efficacy of post-hospital specialty programs
CONCLUSION: Each group demonstrated reduced disability from admission to discharge, replicating prior research. This research provided evidence that post-hospital care provides behavioral improvement to neurologically impaired individuals.
Traumatic brain injury outcomes and mortality predictors in Eastern India: An observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic brain injury in Eastern India predominantly affects young males in road traffic accidents. While functional recovery appeared to improve between discharge and 6 months, severe injuries and specific radiological features may be associated with increased mortality. Burr-hole surgery and craniotomy may be linked to more favourable outcomes compared with craniectomy. Strengthening trauma systems […]
