Traumatic brain injury [PDF]

Neurology, 2010
In the article “A Prospective Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury” ( Neurology ® 2010;74:643–650), Andrew Mayer and colleagues studied the effects of mild brain injury using a special kind of magnetic resonance image (MRI). The new MRI sequence is called diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

Empowering young minds through STEM education: Engaging high schoolers in Ghana through medical physics

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To promote diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), an educational presentation and hands‐on session was organised to raise awareness of STEM career opportunities among high school girls to introduce the students to the field of medical physics. Materials and Methods The study involved 65 first‐year Senior

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

An Updated Overview of MRI Injuries in Neonatal Encephalopathy: LyTONEPAL Cohort

Children, 2022
Background: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a key tool for the prognostication of encephalic newborns in the context of hypoxic−ischemic events. The purpose of this study was to finely characterize brain injuries in this context.

A Generic Trauma Severity Computer Method Applied to Pedestrian Collisions [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In the real world, the severity of traumatic injuries are measured using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). However the AIS scale cannot currently be computed by using finite element human computer models, which calculate a maximum principal strains (MPS). Further, MPS only establishes a threshold above which a serious or fatal injury occurs. In order

Working toward exposure thresholds for blast-induced traumatic brain injury: thoracic and acceleration mechanisms [PDF]

Neuroimage. 2011 Jan;54 Suppl 1:S55-61, 2011
Research in blast-induced lung injury resulted in exposure thresholds that are useful in understanding and protecting humans from such injury. Because traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to blast exposure has become a prominent medical and military problem, similar thresholds should be identified that can put available research results in context and ...

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...

Early Language Impairment as an Integral Part of the Cognitive Phenotype in Huntington's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Huntington's disease (HD) speech/language disorders have typically been attributed to motor and executive impairment due to striatal dysfunction. In‐depth study of linguistic skills and the role of extrastriatal structures in HD is scarce.

Brain Energetics, Mitochondria, and Traumatic Brain Injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We review current thinking about, and draw connections between, brain energetics and metabolism, mitochondria and traumatic brain injury. In addition to summarizing current thinking in these disciplines, our goal is to suggest a framework for mechanisms and pathways based on optimal energetic decisions.

Longitudinal abnormalities in white matter extracellular free water volume fraction and neuropsychological functioning in patients with traumatic brain injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Traumatic brain injury is a global public health problem associated with chronic neurological complications and long-term disability. Biomarkers that map onto the underlying brain pathology driving these complications are urgently needed to identify individuals at risk for poor recovery and to inform design of clinical trials of neuroprotective ...
