Internet-Guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia Among Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Many military service members and veterans report insomnia after sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI). Limitations of first-line treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), include availability of qualified clinicians, low completion rates, and cost.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of internet-guided CBT-I (eCBT-I) in military service members and veterans with insomnia and a history of TBI.

Advances in Legume Systematics 14. Classification of Caesalpinioideae. Part 2: Higher-level classification.

Caesalpinioideae is the second largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) with ca. 4680 species and 163 genera. It is an ecologically and economically important group formed of mostly woody perennials that range from large canopy emergent trees to functionally herbaceous geoxyles, lianas and shrubs, and which has a global distribution, occurring on every continent except Antarctica.

The identity of Nanorana yunnanensis (Anderson, 1879) from Thailand, with a description of its tadpole (Anura, Dicroglossidae).

Nanorana yunnanensis has been reported in Thailand for many years; however, no specimens have been verifiably described. To verify the identity of this species in Thailand, we observed Thai specimens formerly assigned to the species N. bourreti and N.

Meningeal blood-brain barrier disruption in acute traumatic brain injury.

The meninges serve as a functional barrier surrounding the brain, critical to the immune response, and can be compromised following head trauma. Meningeal enhancement can be detected on contrast-enhanced MRI in patients presenting with acute traumatic brain injury, even when head CT is negative. Following head trauma, gadolinium-based contrast appears to extravasate from the vasculature, enhancing the dura within minutes, and later permeates the subarachnoid space.

Traumatic microbleeds persist for up to five years following traumatic brain injury despite resolution of other acute findings on MRI.

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to track the incidence and progression of traumatic microbleeds (TMBs) for up to five years following traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: Thirty patients with mild, moderate, or severe TBI received initial MRI within 48 h of injury and continued in a longitudinal study for up to five years. The incidence and progression of MRI findings was assessed across the five year period.
