Toward reducing impact induced brain injury: Lessons from a computational study of army and football helmet pads [PDF]
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering (2012), 2012 We use computational simulations to compare the impact response of different football and U.S. Army helmet pad materials. We conduct experiments to characterize the material response of different helmet pads. We simulate experimental helmet impact tests performed by the U.S. Army to validate our methods. We then simulate a cylindrical impactor striking

Brain and Lung: Lung Injury in Patients with Brain Injury [PDF]
Journal of Neurocritical Care, 2017 Neurocritically ill patients are at an increased risk of other organ dysfunctions, especially lung injury. Major pulmonary complications, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and neurogenic pulmonary edema, are frequently caused by brain injury, and are associated with poor outcome.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

Links between traumatic brain injury and ballistic pressure waves originating in the thoracic cavity and extremities [PDF]
Brain Injury, Volume 21, Issue 7, June 2007, pages 657-662, 2008 Identifying patients at risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important because research suggests prophylactic treatments to reduce risk of long-term sequelae. Blast pressure waves can cause TBI without penetrating wounds or blunt force trauma. Similarly, bullet impacts distant from the brain can produce pressure waves sufficient to cause mild to ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Change in structural brain network abnormalities after traumatic brain injury determines post-injury recovery [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The trajectory of an individual's recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is heterogeneous, with complete recovery in some cases but persistent disability in others. We hypothesized that changes in structural brain network abnormalities guide the trajectory of an individual's recovery post-injury.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.
