Mapping the Landscape of Diaschisis in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Scoping Review
Diaschisis is a phenomenon in which damage to one brain region leads to dysfunction in remote, yet functionally connected, areas. Although it has been well characterized in stroke, the complex, multifocal nature of traumatic brain injury (TBI) suggests that similar network-level disruptions could occur, yet the presence and impact of diaschisis in TBI remain underexplored. […]
Glymphatic system dysfunction associated with player position in collegiate American football players: A DTI-ALPS study
CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that positional differences in HAEs experienced by Speed players, even absent clinical concussion, may contribute to impaired glymphatic function. Speed position players may be at increased risk due to the nature and magnitude of head impacts. The DTI-ALPS index may serve as a sensitive biomarker for early, sub-clinical brain dysfunction in […]
Sleep quality, mental health, and cognitive function among older adults in Chinese communities: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: About half of the older adults in the community have sleep problems. Poor sleep quality was associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Moreover, the cortical thickness of transverse temporal gyrus may be related to anxiety symptoms in older adults with poor sleep quality. This study indicates that a decline in sleep quality may […]
Factor analysis of neuropsychological attention measures with mild traumatic brain injury patients
This study explored the factor structure of commonly used neuropsychological tests to assess attention in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Archival data were drawn from 269 patients (63% women; M_age = 47.8, SD = 14.6) seen at a private outpatient clinic between 2018 and 2023. Participants self-identified primarily as White (84%), with additional […]
AQP4 in cerebrospinal fluid correlates with severity and prognosis in moderate to severe traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Despite advances in acute care and neurological intensive care units, predicting long-term outcomes for TBI patients remains challenging. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) has emerged as a potential biomarker for assessing TBI severity and prognosis. Our goal is to evaluate AQP4 as a novel agent […]
