Article Synopsis
- Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is common, making up 70-90% of all traumatic brain injuries, and this study investigates changes in lipid metabolites in patients after mTBI.
- Researchers analyzed plasma samples from 84 patients within 24 hours of injury, some of whom returned for follow-up, to explore the connection between these lipid changes and patient outcomes as assessed by the Glasgow Outcomes Scale-Extended (GOSE).
- The study found that 31 lipid metabolites were linked to recovery outcomes, with certain lysophospholipids associated with better functional outcomes, indicating the potential of lipid profiles as biomarkers for mTBI recovery.
Background: Cerebral edema (CE) at admission is a surrogate marker of 'early brain injury' (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Only recently has the focus on the changes in CE after SAH such as delayed resolution or newly developed CE been examined. Among several factors, an early systemic inflammatory response has been shown to be associated with CE.

COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic with a devastating impact on public health. Acute neurological symptoms have been reported after a COVID-19 diagnosis, however, the long-term neurological symptoms including pain is not well established. Using a prospective registry of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, we assessed pain and neurological function (including functional, cognitive and psychiatric assessments) of several hospitalized patients at 3 months.
