Cognitive losses resulting from severe brain trauma have long been associated with the focal region of tissue damage, leading to devastating functional impairment. For decades, researchers have focused on the sequelae of cellular alterations that exist within the perilesional tissues; however, few clinical trials have been successful. Here, we employed a mouse brain injury model that resulted in expansive synaptic damage to regions outside the focal injury.

We aim to investigate rsEEG measures and their prediction of early recovery of consciousness in patients with TBI.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of comatose patients with TBI who were admitted to a trauma center (October 2013 to January 2022).
Article Synopsis
- - Cancer-related pain significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and while first-line treatments like opioids and NSAIDs are commonly used, they can have limitations and side effects.
- - A systematic review of literature involving 735 patients found that hypophysectomy and other neuromodulation techniques can provide substantial pain relief for those who haven't responded to standard treatments.
- - Among the various treatment methods examined, hypophysectomy showed promising results; however, complications, particularly diabetes insipidus, were noted, indicating the need for careful consideration in treatment planning.
Background Resting-state electroencephalogram (rsEEG) is usually obtained to assess seizures in comatose patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. We aim to investigate rsEEG measures and their prediction of early recovery of consciousness in comatose TBI patients. Methods This is a retrospective study of comatose TBI patients who were admitted to a level-1 trauma center (10/2013-1/2022).

For patients with extensive spine instrumentation including the thoraco-lumbar junction, percutaneous placement of SCS leads is usually not an option being paddle leads typically implanted anterograde. Paddle lead placement will be particularly challenging in more complex cases when the instrumentation covers the targeted level.
