Traumatic Brain Injury

, 2018
Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI), defined as a traumatic blow or jolt to the head, or penetrating trauma to the skull that injures the brain, is a worldwide epidemic that has a substantial impact on global health and function. In this chapter, we overview TBI epidemiology and health care costs as well as discuss the fundamental pathophysiology ...

Plasma p‐tau181 as a Marker of Conversion to Alzheimer's Disease Dementia and Worsening in Cognitive Functions in Subjective Cognitive Decline and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Longitudinal Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Plasma p‐tau181 has proven to be a promising diagnostic and prognostic tool in the earliest phases of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of p‐tau181 in predicting conversion to AD dementia and worsening in cognition in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline (SCD).

Altered Dynamic Functional Network Connectivity in Post‐Stroke Aphasia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Previous studies examining post‐stroke aphasia (PSA) patients via resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) have predominantly focused on static functional connectivity. In contrast, the current investigation aims to elucidate the alterations in dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) among PSA patients ...

Lesion Location and Functional Connections Reveal Cognitive Impairment Networks in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive impairment, fatigue, and depression are common in multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially due to disruption of regional functional connectivity caused by white matter (WM) lesions. We explored whether WM lesions functionally connected to specific brain regions contribute to these MS‐related manifestations.

Expanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Limits: Biallelic SPAST Variants in Cerebral Palsy Mimics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare neurodegenerative disorders marked by spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common type, SPG4, is usually autosomal dominant and caused by SPAST gene variants, typically presenting as pure HSP.

Annual 12‐Week Dosing Gap of Natalizumab: Clinical Efficacy, Blood Biomarkers, and CSF Cell Composition

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Natalizumab (NTZ) is a highly effective therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS); however, its use is limited by the risk of a rare potentially severe opportunistic brain infection, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Alternative dosing strategies are evaluated to reduce PML risk while still maintaining efficacy, which ...

Quantitative Assessment of Upper Limb Ataxia Using a Virtual Reality‐Based Evaluation System

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebellar ataxia impairs coordination and balance, reducing quality of life. Conventional clinical scales, including the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) and the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS), are widely used to assess ataxia but are limited by subjectivity and inter‐rater variability ...

Diffusion Tractography Biomarker for Epilepsy Severity in Children With Drug‐Resistant Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To develop a novel deep‐learning model of clinical DWI tractography that can accurately predict the general assessment of epilepsy severity (GASE) in pediatric drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) and test if it can screen diverse neurocognitive impairments identified through neuropsychological assessments.
