Temporal trends of transport-related injuries on New Zealand roads.

Aim: This observational study aimed to investigate temporal trends in transport-related injuries in New Zealand by mode of transport and explore whether specific population groups and localities have a relatively higher incidence of injury. These trends provide insight into changes in injury patterns from road trauma.

Methods: A retrospective study of hospitalised road trauma in New Zealand was conducted between 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2021.

A phase 2 open-label study of the safety and efficacy of weekly dosing of ATL1102 in patients with non-ambulatory Duchenne muscular dystrophy and pharmacology in mdx mice.

Background: ATL1102 is a 2'MOE gapmer antisense oligonucleotide to the CD49d alpha subunit of VLA-4, inhibiting expression of CD49d on lymphocytes, reducing survival, activation and migration to sites of inflammation. Children with DMD have dystrophin deficient muscles susceptible to contraction induced injury, which triggers the immune system, exacerbating muscle damage. CD49d is a biomarker of disease severity in DMD, with increased numbers of high CD49d expressing T cells correlating with more severe and progressive weakess, despite corticosteroid treatment.

Karawun: a software package for assisting evaluation of advances in multimodal imaging for neurosurgical planning and intraoperative neuronavigation.

Purpose: The neuroimaging research community-which includes a broad range of scientific, medical, statistical, and engineering disciplines-has developed many tools to advance our knowledge of brain structure, function, development, aging, and disease. Past research efforts have clearly shaped clinical practice. However, translation of new methodologies into clinical practice is challenging.

Prospective Associations of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Biomarkers with Fatigue Symptom Severity in Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury.

Fatigue may be among the most profound and debilitating consequences of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI); however, neurostructural risk factors associated with post-injury fatigue remain elusive. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the independent value of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) biomarkers, over-and-above known risk factors, to predict fatigue symptom severity in children with TBI. Forty-two children were examined with structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), including a SWI sequence, within eight weeks post-injury.
