The prevalence and nature of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is controversial because of the apparent paradox of suffering PTSD with impaired memory for the traumatic event. In this study, 1167 survivors of traumatic injury (MTBI: 459, No TBI: 708) were assessed for PTSD symptoms and post-traumatic amnesia during hospitalization, and were subse...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious public health concern which strikes someone every 15 s on average in the US. Even mild TBI, which comprise as many as 75% of all TBI cases, carries long term consequences. The effects of age and sex on long term outcome from TBI is not fully understood, but due to the increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases after TBI it is important to understand ...

We applaud Dr. Bigler’s signaling the need for attention to the future prospects of neuropsychology in a competitive environment, and his enduring enthusiasm and leadership in encouraging neuropsychologists to involve themselves in neuroradiological imaging (Bigler, 2001). However, we have several concerns about possible misinterpretation of the data and views presented in the article entitled ...

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major public health problem with enormous costs in terms of health care dollars, lost productivity, and reduced quality of life. Alcohol is bidirectionally linked to TBI as many TBI patients are intoxicated at the time of their injury and we recently reported that, in accordance with human epidemiological data, animals injured during juvenile development sel...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem. Patients with mild, moderate and severe brain injuries suffer from physical, behavioral emotional and social problems. Beside these problems persons with TBI experience serious long enduring problems with cognitive functioning. In the present study an attempt was made to review the literature on cognitive functioning in mild moderat...

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are very common, an estimated 1.74 million people sustaining one every year in USA. Mild TBI resulting from blunt force, non-penetrating head traumas frequently occur in contact sports. American football and soccer are the leading sports, where an estimated 20 percent of US high school and 10 percent of US college players sustain brain injuries every season [1]. O...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in white matter injury (WMI) that is associated with neurological deficits. Neuroinflammation originating from microglial activation may participate in WMI and associated disorders. To date, there is little information on the time courses of these events after mild TBI. Therefore we investigated (i) neuroinflammation, (ii) WMI and (iii) behavioral disorders ...

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a multistep interaction of antigens, cytokine-mediated humeral, and cellular immune reactions. Because the limitations clinical radiological evaluation in TBI, there has been considerable advancement toward need for developing biomarkers that can predict severity TBI. Blood-based hold potential to absence intracranial thus decrease unnecessary computed t...

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in all degrees of injury severity mainly induces deviant cognitive, emotional and behavioral alterations that lead to their respective disorders. This brief overview strives to define the variables that determine the risk of occurrence of these disorders and to describe the common patterns of these disorders and their relevant neuropathogenetic mechanism(s). In addi...
