Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the prevalence of injuries from functional seizures (FS), which are often confused with epileptic seizures, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
- - The research analyzed 41 studies and found that the lifetime prevalence of injuries due to FS is about 25%, but during specific monitoring periods, it drops to 0.7%.
- - The reliability of the findings varies; the evidence for lifetime prevalence being "very low," while the specific prevalence during monitoring is rated "low," and the number of injuries per seizure is deemed "moderate."

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess cognitive performance one year after hospital discharge in patients with severe traumatic brain injury who had favorable outcomes.
- Out of 163 patients, 73 showed favorable outcomes based on the Glasgow Outcome Scale, but only 28 completed cognitive evaluations, which were then compared to healthy controls.
- Results indicated that many patients experienced significant cognitive deficits, especially in language and verbal memory, despite being categorized with favorable outcomes, with factors like longer hospital stays, older age, and lower education correlating with poorer performance.
