The heartbeat evoked potential and the prediction of functional seizure semiology
Study Overview The study aimed to investigate the relationship between heartbeat evoked potentials (HEPs) and the semiology of functional seizures. Through the integration of neurophysiological measurements and clinical assessments, the research sought to understand how these potentials can be predictive indicators of seizure characteristics in patients with functional seizures, also known as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures… Read more: The heartbeat evoked potential and the prediction of functional seizure semiology
A Scoping Review of Qualitative Studies on Inpatient Care for Individuals with Sickle Cell Disease
Study Overview This extensive scoping review focuses on qualitative research examining inpatient care for individuals affected by sickle cell disease (SCD). Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin, leading to distorted red blood cells that can cause severe pain crises, organ damage, and various complications throughout a… Read more: A Scoping Review of Qualitative Studies on Inpatient Care for Individuals with Sickle Cell Disease
The heartbeat evoked potential and the prediction of functional seizure semiology
Understanding Heartbeat Evoked Potentials Heartbeat evoked potentials (HEPs) are neurophysiological responses that occur in the brain as a direct consequence of the heart’s rhythmic contractions. These responses are particularly interesting as they connect the physiological experiences of the body to cognitive processes in the brain. When the heart beats, it generates a series of electrical… Read more: The heartbeat evoked potential and the prediction of functional seizure semiology
Causal Exposures of Immune Cells in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: A Mendelian Randomization Study and Flow Cytometry Analysis
Causal Exposures and Immune Response Understanding the causal exposures that influence the immune response is critical in unraveling the pathogenesis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD). This condition is characterized by severe inflammatory attacks on the central nervous system, primarily targeting the optic nerves and spinal cord. Recent studies suggest that specific exposures can lead… Read more: Causal Exposures of Immune Cells in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: A Mendelian Randomization Study and Flow Cytometry Analysis
Case Report: Transverse myelitis following CAR-T cell therapy for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder
Study Overview This case report investigates the occurrence of transverse myelitis in a patient who underwent CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) therapy for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, a complication often arising in patients who have received organ transplants and subsequently developed lymphoproliferative diseases. The patient’s condition raised questions regarding the safety and potential neurological side effects… Read more: Case Report: Transverse myelitis following CAR-T cell therapy for post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder

The Effect of an Exertion Protocol on Cognitive and Functional Performance in Adolescents After Concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Significant cognitive and functional performance changes were observed after an exertion protocol in adolescent athletes recently cleared to begin the return-to-play progression. Predominantly, MT elicited improved performance and faster walking speed, with longer strides compared with pre-exertion. Minimal differences were observed in variability comparing pre-exertion with post-exertion gait tasks.
Medical Retirement From Sport After Concussion: A Survey of Perspectives and Experiences of Collegiate Physicians and Athletic Trainers
CONCLUSIONS: Safe return to athletics and academics after SRC follows protocols, but processes by which medical retirement takes place remain in development and without consensus. Guidance for medical retirement after SRC exists but this survey suggests gaps remain between skills and self-perceived abilities to discuss medical retirement after SRC. Retirement is considered important in SRC […]
Boxing injuries treated in United States emergency departments, 2000-2023
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of boxing injuries in US emergency departments is increasing, and concussions/closed head injuries disproportionately affect the vulnerable pediatric age group. The findings of this study improve our understanding of the epidemiology of boxing injuries, which will help inform targeted injury prevention efforts.
Early Predictors of Long-Term Outcomes in Pediatric "Mild" Traumatic Brain Injury: A Machine Learning Approach
While most children recover from pediatric "mild" traumatic brain injury (pmTBI), up to one-third experience persisting symptoms after concussion (PSaC) that interfere with school, social, and emotional functioning. Clinicians face the dual challenge of low PSaC rates and nonspecific symptom rating even among uninjured peers, making accurate prognosis especially challenging. We used machine learning in […]
Concussions in Facial Trauma Patients: A Retrospective Study
Background: There is a paucity of literature regarding the incidence of concussions in facial trauma. Prompt identification of concussion is crucial for patient recovery. The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the relationship between facial trauma and concussion symptoms. Methods: We evaluated 74 patients who presented to a facial trauma clinic at a […]
