- - The study investigates the theory of mind (ToM) in patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) to understand how social cognitive deficits affect their behavior and function.
- - Thirty patients with TBI were compared to thirty healthy controls using various ToM tasks and neuropsychological assessments, revealing significant deficits in ToM across all task modes for the TBI group.
- - Results highlight the importance of executive function and working memory in ToM performance, suggesting that cognitive remediation interventions targeting ToM could help improve functional outcomes and reduce disability in TBI patients.
Rationale: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) has a wide range of expressivity, with a majority of cases being first diagnosed from the oral findings. Early intervention can reduce its severity.
Patient Concerns: The primary complaints of all the patients were pain and swelling.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by a single point mutation within the beta globin gene. As a result of this mutation, hemoglobin polymerizes under low oxygen conditions causing red blood cells to deform, become more adhesive, and increase in rigidity, which affects blood flow dynamics. This process leads to enhanced red blood cell interactions with the endothelium and contributes to vaso-occlusion formation.
