Inflammatory cytokines associated with mild traumatic brain injury and clinical outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) trigger a neuroinflammatory response, which leads to perturbations in the levels of inflammatory cytokines, resulting in a distinctive profile. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to synthesize data related to levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with mTBI. The electronic databases EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PUBMED were searched from January 2014 to December 12, 2021.

Correlation between Mild Traumatic Brain Injury-Induced Inflammatory Cytokines and Emotional Symptom Traits: A Systematic Review.

Both mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) and systemic injuries trigger a transient neuroinflammatory response that result in similar clinical outcome. The ensuing physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms fail to subside in approximately 15-20% of the concussed population. Emotional impairments, particularly depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are commonly associated with poor recovery following mTBI.

The surgical management of distal triceps tendon ruptures: a systematic review.

Background: Distal triceps tendon ruptures (DTTRs) are highly uncommon injuries and can be treated with surgical repair. The purpose of this review was to compare the outcomes and complications of various surgical techniques used for primary repair of DTTRs.

Methods: The electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and PubMed were searched from data inception to October 15, 2020.
