BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is in the developed countries the most common cause of death and disability in childhood. AIM The purpose of this study is to estimate the incidence of TBI for children and young people in an urbanised region of the Netherlands and to describe relevant characteristics of this group. METHODS Patients, aged 1 month - 24 years who presented with traumati...

Objective To assess the burden of paediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) on neurocognition via a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods Studies that compared neurocognitive outcomes patients with TBI controls were searched using Medline, Embase, PsycINFO Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, between January 1988 August 2019. We presented random-effects model, stratified by severit...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES To examine self-reported post-concussion symptoms from 3-12 months post-injury in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to identify predictors of these symptoms. METHODS AND PROCEDURES A 1-year prospective study in Eastern Norway including 115 persons (16-55 years), with mild, moderate and severe TBI. The Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ) and Hos...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies have shown decreased perfusion in the prefrontal cortex following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). However, similar hypoperfusion can also be observed in depression. Given the high prevalence of depressive symptoms following mTBI, it is unclear to what extent depression influences hypoperfusion in TBI. METHODS Mild TBI patients without depressive symptoms (mTBI-...

Veterans with blast-related mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience cognitive deficits that interfere with functional activities. Goal Management Training (GMT), which is a metacognitive intervention, offers an executive function rehabilitation approach that draws upon theories concerning goal processing and sustained attention. GMT has received empirical support in studies of patients wit...

OBJECTIVE Optimal treatment decision and estimation of the prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is currently based on demographic and clinical predictors. But sometimes, there are limitations in these factors. In this study, we analyzed three central nervous system biomarkers in TBI patients, will discuss the roles and clinical applications of biomarkers in TBI. METHODS From July on 2013...

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an that disrupts the normal function, and caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to head penetrating injury. TBI range from mild concussions, without loss of consciousness, severe TBI, which can result in deep coma death. Types TBI's patients sustain include hematomas, CTE. The length time have symptoms depends on severity, with lasting few days even rest patient’s li...

Abstract Objective Despite the strong evidence suggesting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms negatively impact cognition following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), little is known about this relationship in more severe TBI. This study investigates between PTSD and cognitive performance complicated mild, moderate, severe, penetrating Methods Participants were 137 U.S. military serv...

BACKGROUND Difficulty providing accurate diagnosis and prognosis, especially after mild forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), has increased efforts to detect changes in white matter microstructure using advanced neuroimaging techniques. Although methods such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have greatly increased knowledge of white matter changes resulting from TBI, several shortcomings limit...

Post-mortem studies have suggested a link between the thalamus, psychiatric disorders, and suicide. We evaluated the thalamus and anterior thalamic radiations (ATR) in a group of Veterans with and without a history of suicidal behavior (SB) to determine if thalamic abnormalities were associated with an increased risk of SB. Forty Veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and no SB (TBI-SB...
