Outcome measures in brain injury rehabilitation : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Psychology at Massey University [PDF]
Brain injury rehabilitation services require competent measures of outcome to monitor the progress made by individuals in their care. The FIM + FAM is the measure most widely used for this purpose.

Change in structural brain network abnormalities after traumatic brain injury determines post-injury recovery [PDF]
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.

HDAC4 regulates apoptosis in Acan‐CreERT2;HDAC4d/d mice with osteoarthritis by downregulating ATF4
Using the AcanCreERT2;HDAC4fl/fl genetic mouse model, we further investigated the role of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) in chondrocyte apoptosis. We found that knocking down HDAC4 may be associated with chondrocyte apoptosis by upregulating the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4)/CAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous (CHOP) signaling pathway ...

Traumatic Brain Injury Screening Tools in Primary Care [PDF]
Traumatic brain injuries are a significant health concern, being responsible for over 52,000 deaths each year. Unfortunately, many traumatic brain injuries often go misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Primary care providers are the principal and first source of

Prevalence and correlates of traumatic brain injuries among adolescents.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) among adolescents has been identified as an important health priority. However, studies of TBI among adolescents in large representative samples are lacking.This information is important to the planning and evaluation of ...

We investigated a potential protective effect of acacetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, against methylglyoxal (MGO)‐induced endothelial dysfunction in human umbilical vein endothelial cells and its mechanism of action. Acacetin can could inhibit MGO‐induced intracellular calcium ion influx, enhance the expression levels of phosphorylated ...

Hyperacute pathophysiology of traumatic and vascular brain injury captured by ultrasound, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Cerebrovascular dynamics and pathomechanisms that evolve in the minutes and hours following traumatic vascular injury in the brain remain largely unknown. We investigated the pathophysiology evolution within the first three hours after closed-head traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), two common traumatic vascular injuries, in
