The Silent Epidemic of Road Traffic Injury: What Can Music Therapists do About It?
Voices, 2008 Can music therapists do anything about road traffic injury and its effects? Road traffic crashes are responsible for up to 1.2 million deaths and up to 50 million injuries globally each year. One quarter of these injuries are traumatic brain injuries. In

Differential detection of impact site versus rotational site injury by magnetic resonance imaging and microglial morphology in an unrestrained mild closed head injury model. [PDF]
, 2016 Seventy-five percent of all traumatic brain injuries are mild and do not cause readily visible abnormalities on routine medical imaging making it difficult to predict which individuals will develop unwanted clinical sequelae. Microglia are brain-resident

The Case of a 28‐Year‐Old Woman With Medically Refractory Focal Epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present the case of a 28‐year‐old right‐handed woman with medically refractory focal epilepsy. Her seizure semiology and electroencephalography (EEG) indicated a seizure onset zone in the right central‐parietal area. However, both MRI and PET scans were unremarkable, showing no focal lesions or areas of altered metabolism.

Will Memantine Exacerbate Seizures in People With Epilepsy? A Prospective Cohort Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether add‐on memantine would exacerbate seizures in people with epilepsy. Methods This was a prospective cohort study. People with epilepsy diagnosed with cognitive impairment were consecutively invited. Those who agreed were followed up for at least 24 weeks.

Acoustic Measures Capture Speech Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorders with a common feature of dysarthria, involving impaired phonatory and articulatory control of speech, thereby affecting social communication. In this study, we investigated whether acoustic measures could objectively measure speech dysfunction and identify
